I dumped all the money out my twins' 529 Plan (college fund) and took another $50k loan from a nice man named Johnny "Knees" and put it on the over.
This is where I sit. I STILL keep going back to our former o-line players going to other teams and becoming "good" players. Now, why...why weren't they "good enough" for our team? Leaves me scratching my head every time.
In typical Jets fashion, they'll probably win less games than last year even with a more talented roster. And then we'll all be sitting here trying to figure out just how they managed to pull that off. But, hey, we at least have new uniforms, so at least we'll look good doing it, unlike last season.
Don’t delude yourselves. These are the Jets and it’s a business with a government sanctioned monopoly. Win or loose they make money. All I ask is that they stay somewhat relevant and not embarrass Jet fans too much.
That might be too tall of a task for this franchise. Embarrassment is the only thing the Jets are actually good at.
This better highlights the underlying absurdity in the surrounding hype then anything else. I say this with no exaggeration meant. For a team and coaching staff that currently possesses a zero sum track record of even showing the capability of piecing together a non-cringe inducing offense, the 2024 Jets O make for a strong contender as the most over-hyped by the media units in pre-season football history. It's like a long game con that wants to completely ensure there is no room latter to claim any form of comparative progress or success (which it would actually be if say we made the jump up to fielding a #20'ish in the league offense)
Shalalalalalalah + Hackass = 7-10 AT BEST, more likely 5-12 imho. I have Z E R O faith in their ability to coach this team.
We got to 10 wins in 2015 but lost our last game to our current BU QB and missed the POs. That AIN'T happening again! 11 wins is our starting point
I will have to see it before I believe it. Rodgers will go out of season again after like 5th snap in the season opener, and Jets will, like they always do, go 2-15.
If all our starters including Rodgers stay healthy all season, the number should be 13.5 o/u. But that's not realistic. So I look at our squad in 3 ways: O and D stay healthy, but AR goes down again. So, how many wins/losses does starting Tayler get us? I'd see 2 more losses with Taylor, so I'd go from 13.5 to 11.5 o/u without Rodgers If Arod and the defense both stay healthy, but we lose two stars on the O side, say Garrett and Conklin, or Lazard and Willaims, we'll lose 2 more games, so from 13.5 down to 11.5. But if the 2 injured player were Breece and AVT or Breece and Garrett, we'd probably lose 3 extra games, dropping us from 13.5 to 10.5 If Arod and the O stay healthy, but the injury bug hits the D, we could lose 3 or 4 games dropping us from 13.5 (whole team health) to 9 names with Defense injured. Of course, if the 2 players we lose are Quinnen Williams and Amond Sauce Gardner, we might have a losing record, even with Rodgers and his offense playing healthy. Summary: Team Healthy: 13.5 Rodgers Injured 11.5 (-2) Team Healthy, Breece or Garrett injured 11.5 (-2). Both injured 8.5 (-5 games) Team Healthy, Quinnen or Sauce injured 11.5 (-2) Both injured 8.5 (-5 games) So add it up and take avg: 13.5 + 11.5 + 11.5 + 8.5 + 11.5 + 8.5 = 65 / 6 = 10.8 wins. So 10.8 it is, considering many possible injury scenarios. So go with the 10.8 and take the over.....11wins.
