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.
Where is the cupcake game? Who the hell knows? Predicting who's going to be good in the NFL is like throwing darts, in the dark, at a fly. It's fun to try to mark off wins and losses before the season, but nine times out of ten those predictions look completely retarded by Week 8.

Thanks for proving my point.

It is far from throwing darts. I just did the Jets schedule, we'll see how good or bad I do

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

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

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

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.

Joey you've got to be worried about Revis. That situation could blow the whole season up.

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.

Until the Jets start calling plays that FEATURE their quarterback because they believe in him instead of hiding him, like they did the entire 2009 season, we will not be able to understand how good the NY Jets are. Sanchez is the question not Reevis.
