12: Cincy = W
13: @ New England = W
14: Miami = L
15: @ Pittsburgh = L
16: @ Bears = W
17: Buffalo = W

And that is being generous to some teams like Denver because I am figuring the Jets will be thinking about relaxing next week. 12-4 is pretty simple with that schedule

Thanks for proving my point. :D

The same rule goes for predicting who's going to suck. Especially if that prediction has no roots in logic.



:rolleyes: according to your schedule, we only have five away games. So yeah, 12-4 makes sense then.

I don't agree with that at all. There are always a couple teams that improve and a couple that sulk and some that basically get screwed by injuries, but a team's schedule is very very important, and analyzing it should paint a decent enough picture for the real fans that understand how it all comes together.

Look at the Bears for example, they have zero shot to be any good this year and some has to do with their scheduling.

For starters.....
Week 2: At Dallas
Week 3: Green Bay
Week 4: At Giants

Then their last 8 games are
Week 10: Minnesota
Week 11: @ Miami
Week 12: Philly
Week 13: @ Detroit
Week 14: New England
Week 15: @ Minnesota
Week 16: Jets
Week 17: @ Green Bay

Where is the cupcake game there? Its brutal.

Next year, they will be a very good team after finishing 6-10 this year, and getting a cupcake schedule because of 'last years' finish.

So sorry I forgot to put an away notion on there. LOL @ you....

You must not watch enough NFL or follow it closely to know who is going to be brutal and who is improved. There is obviously teams that will surprise you, but it isn't the rocket science you are making it out to be

It'd be real bad if he doesn't play obviously, but they're doing the right thing not caving in to him. Cromartie has been great in camp and hopefully with an improved pass rush we can protect Wilson on the other side. Also, I think the offense, which leaned so heavily on the defense last year, will be much improved and could offset some of the defensive setbacks if Revis is out.

What cracks me up is that no one on the goddamn earth besides Jet fans knew who Revis was a year ago, and now if you listen to the media he's the most important player in the history of everything.

They need to give him guaranteed money. Chances are he's going to be a top 3 corner for the next 5 years. So give him the long term deal and move on.

Dude, just stop. The whole 'you must not watch football' thing blew up on you last year, don't make an ass out of yourself yet again. 14 seasons in a row, at least 5 teams who missed the playoffs the year before made it. Parity is putting it lightly. Like I said, it's cool to try and mark off wins and losses, but only if you realize how retarded those predictions will look in two months.
