I could careless how many games we will next year. We need to finish off the season strong and gell. Thats all that really matters. I 6-7 wins and 1/2 of those in dec/late november
Delusion wears green and white ...Are you guys kidding? Am I really reading here that people think we can actually win 8+ games? If you break this team down, we're really not that good at all. I don't know, maybe it's all wishful thinking and all most of you need is that first loss in week one to remember that we're just not that good at all. Maybe it'll knock some sense into everyone. The way I see it, I dont see us getting more then 5 wins. I MIGHT entertain the thought of 6 wins, but anything more than that is insane. ^WIN^ - @Tennessee vLOSSv - New England vLOSSV - @Buffalo vLOSSv - Indianapolis vLOSSv - @Jacksonville vLOSSv - Miami ^WIN^ - Detroit vLOSSv - @Cleveland vLOSSv - @New England vLOSSv - Chicago vLOSSv - Houston ^WIN^ - @Green Bay ^WIN^ - Buffalo vLOSSv - @Minnesota vLOSSv - @Miami ^WIN^ - Oakland And don't get me wrong, we can EASILY lose more than 11 games. The QB situation is murky at best. Curtis isn't getting any younger and is coming off knee surgery. Coles is good, but he's no No. 1. The line looks solid, but is still young. And all of those players are learning a new system from a guy who's never called a play in his life. The defense I have SOME faith in. But then again, they're learning a new system also. I have faith because we have some playmakers on that side of the ball and Mangini comes from an excellent defensive background. Let's face it though, we don't have the ideal personnel to run a 3-4 the way it's supposed to be run. We're a few years away still. Let's check the off-season optimism for an off-season that warrants it.
easy schedule, so im going to say 9-7, which is much better then i thought it would be the day after the season was over, i thought 3-13 for sure but with the moves the jets have made they will be solid
This Jet team will be better than most people think they will be. It is not unrealistic that we can be 10-6. That would make Mangini an instant icon in New York. A healthy Chad and Curtis will go a long way to get to 10-6.
i think that we could be anywhere from 5-11 to 8-8... I think that we will probably end up 6-10, and lose a few close ones that maybe we should've/could've won
I just don't get it... A team with substandard coaching made it to within a field goal of the AFC championship game. Last season they still managed to win some games with the loss of 3 starting QB's, an injured and eventually sidelined RB (who run the rushing title the year prior), the loss of our starting OC and LG (Kendall was essentially wasted at OC), the loss of our starting TE, and of course a brand new offense. Now, everyone is healthy. We got the best LT and OC in the draft. We potentially have 3 starting calibre QB's on our roster. We have added great depth at OL and LB. We have added speed on both sides of the ball. We have what we hope will be a competant coaching staff. You have us being swept by the fish, who have more questions than we do, and no depth at QB if Daute cannot go. We will at least split. The Browns suck. With the addition of Bush, Houston is the new Detroit. In other words, beatable. Cleveland?!? You know we don't have to play their basketball team, right. Minnesota is going to be horrible. They have nothing at all now. Win those 4 and we're 9-7. 1 or 2 key injuries to one of the other teams and 10-6 is possible. The only way we are not a .500 team next season is if WE experience key injuries.
This isnt the same team as that AFC team. Stop trying to delude yourself. The Bucs won the SUPERBOWL and many kept believing the same squad (the 9-7, 5-11 guys) could do it again, just becuase they've done it before. Not so. Luckily Gruden didn't waste time with hope and set in motion a swift rebuilding processes with lasted exactly 2 years and put us in great shape. That's the best you guys can hope for. A swift rebuild. The first step is acceptance.
The factors that mitigate against the Jets being good next year are pretty ferocious: 1. The offensive line is going to be very young and relatively inexperienced with only Pete Kendall and maybe Trey Teague having any significant NFL experience to draw upon. 2. The quarterbacks are either injury-prone, retreads discarded by another team or very inexperienced. 3. The only established runningback is at an age that usually marks the end of prime production and the beginning of a swift decline phase. He also finished last season on the inactive list due to injury. 4. The defense, while in significantly better shape, appears to be heading into a momentary learning phase as a new as yet undefined system is put into place. All things considered I think 8-8 would be a triumph and a very positive step for the 2006 Jets. Particularly if 3 of the 4 questions above could be put to rest heading into 2007. I still believe it's a good time to be a Jet's fan. There's nowhere to go but up and no reason at the moment to believe that the new regime is not capable of taking us to new heights if they're given a season or two to put all the wheels back on.
One post away from 3000! Congrats. Good post too. 8-8 imo, would be a HELL of a triumph. I think the best time to be a fan, and show your a fan, is while rebuilding. Rebuilding is, imo, very entertaining and inspiring. Once you accept it, you can make it into a positive, exciting phase. Not to mention it could be worse. You could be one of the teams going down hill, that are struggling to not change, and will spend the next 5-6 years bandaging up the team and THEN rebuilding, before they really become competitive again. IMO, that is the worse time. When a team sucks because they are refusing to rebuild. That's why I love Gruden. He wasted no time in seeing the signs and rebuilding. 2 years flat. In the NFL, that's the speed of light.
Lets see JEt have most inexperienced head coaching staff, Have to learn new schemes on offense and defense, LOst some of there best talent(J abraham, TY Law, and K Mawae) , have hugh question marks still at QB, RB and WR, do they have a pass rush, going with alot of youth(takes time) and don't have the personal yet on both sides to form an identity.(what you want to be) JEts are going to be underdogs in every game they play. Mangini did an excellent job, if they win five games next year. You have to learn to walk, before you can run.
:lol: Yeah, we've got more questions than the Jets......:lol: As for depth at QB, we've got Harrington, who at the very least should be considered the same level QB as Ramsey / Pennington. You guys have nothing on Miami, not at any position for that matter....
Not going to put Pennington...or Ramsey on any kind of pedestal. Your use of Harrington in any arguement shows that your lack of knowledge for the game..and your trolling habits havent changed a bit over the last couple years.
Is that so??... I'm not putting Harrington on a pedestal either, but he's no worse than the QB's you've got. If you can make a case why either one of your QB's are better than Harrington, I'll listen. But honestly, I don't think you can....
Dont even need to use my QB's. Personally, I have been watching football for many years...and Harrington is a bust. Just seems to me that Mr. Saban is rolling the dice to see if theres anything there at all...because unlike Pennington...there has never been anything in that tank. Thats so.
When your defense figures out a way to stop Pennington, let us know. How many years has he owned your dolphins now?
Harrington ------------ Comp 986 / Att 1802 / TD 60 / INT 62 Ramsey -------- Comp 480 / Att 861 / TD 34 / INT 29 Pennington ------------ Comp 767 / Att 1174 / TD 55 / INT 30 Looking at those numbers, it's clear that Pennington is the most productive in the time he's been starting. The only problem is that he hasn't been able to stay healthy over the last two years, and most of these numbers poster were accumulated when he was healthy.... I think all three of them are average QB's. But none really has any significant advantage over the other. If Pennington could stay healthy, and play an entire season without any problems, he would emerge as the leader here, but until that happens, it's a toos up in my opinion....
I don't know, what was it, 3 years ago the last time we played against Pennington???...It's been so long, I can't remember....
