Barlow, Coles, and Barrett will play. With Jordan, Porter, and likely Moss, out, the Raiders will be lucky to score a field goal.
If Dyson's knee is still not 100%, I'd prefer he not play. Last thing we need is for him to re-injure himself against the worst offense in the NFL, and be out for the playoffs.
I dont see how some of those guys (Barrett, Coles, Rhodes....) can really be questionable as they all played last week and played til the end. I wouldnt pay much attention to the list as the Jets seem to be taking a page out of the Pats play book, miss leading everyone about who is injuried and not.
Damn, Rhodes is hurt too? Against this offense, the jets should rest as many players as possible so they are ready for the playoffs.
Is Rhodes really questionable? If so that blows. I didn't even realize he had been ijured in the Dolphins game, however the list does seem a little ridiculous, and im sure many of the Questionable will be upgraded to probable as the week goes on.
There is no way they can take any of that for granted for a game to get into the playoffs. You never know what can happen when everything is on the line.
The Jets shouldn't not take this game seriously... however I don't think it will hurt them... especially on defense... to rest a few of the starters. We are deep enough at some positions that a one game spell won't kill us... especially against the anemic Raiders offense.
Houston & Coles are expected to play (saw on ESPN bottom line, they listed other players but I didn't see them in time)
Also, Parcells is famous for making those "lists". If you had a hang nail, he would list you as "probable". It don't give the other team time to shift their game accordingly. I think it's great (but sneaky) thing to do, but that's just me.
Exactly. People here are acting as if it will be a guaranteed win.... Anything can happen in this league. Didn't we have a 'win-and-you're-in' chance in '97 and blow it??
I think Rhodes is hurt. Supposedly a knee problem like it says............. This is not inside info so take it fwiw. He has been seen with a heavily wrapped knee. As far as I know he will play.
Dyson is out, so I hope Moss doesn't play. We've been prone to giving up big plays this year, and Moss at 50% still has the chance to burn Barrett.
