Looked stupid for awhile and guess what they are under 500 as we speak. I call it as I see it. Wake me up when they get that 10th win this year.
The Mets are one game under .500. That's the record you're runnning on?

The stepback year thing might make sense if they had the same roster. But they've improved just about everywhere, unlike in '99, '03 and '05.

Not a record I'm running on at all. My point is just b/c I'm a fan of a team (mets) doesn't mean your expectations shouldn't be grounded on that team. I was shocked the Mets got to 10 games over. Back to reality. They'll be under for the year. They aren't good....The Jets have potential but sophomore slumps for quarterbacks are common. Beware.

How, exactly, can you slump from throwing 20 picks? Face it, every argument you've made for them sucking has fallen on its face.

Dont use the 20 picks stat though. Remember a lot of those came in only a few games. He had a very good year last year, esp in playoffs.

joe

i like you am a long suffering jet fan

here is my honest assesment for the 16 games and i am assuming revis will be there all 16


division games - 6 they will go 4 and 2

other afc games - they will go 3-3

nfc games - 3-1

i can see 10-6 and that us with Revis there , so the posted total of 9.5 in vegas with revis up in the air makes sense

i think 10-6 with this schedule will be pretty darn good , if we look at the non afc east games you will see what i mean

of the 10 non afc east games , i only see 2 gimmes
detroit and cleveland

that leaves 8 games with
green bay
minnesota
houston
pitt
baltimore
chicago
denver
cinnanti

if you give them 4-2 in the division plus the 2 over det and clev that gets them to 6-2 - very attainable

now for the other 8 games i can't really see them going more than 4-4

balt on opening night will not be easy

after 3 divison games they go

minnesota
at denver
bye
green bay

that is a tricky 3 game stretch and the denver game is a tricy game because it falls after a tough viking team and a bye week , that in my opinion is an essential game becuase i see them spliting with GBand Minn

the next 2 non afc games are a spilt in my opinion
houston hammered the jets last year , i can see the jets paying them back
but right after that cinncy comes to town in a big time revenge spot and the following week the jets go to NE

that bengal game is in a tough spot on the schedule , they will be amped to pay back houston and then the week the play the bengals , they will be looking ahead to the game in foxboro

just a tough tough spot for the jets , they got 1-1 against cinncy and the texans

pitt and chicago in back to back weeks on the road in dec , with the bear game a day after chritmas will be a spilt at the best in my opinion joe

so to me the key games are balt, denver and cinncy

if they beat the ravens they have a good shot at 11 wins
if they lose to the ravens they still have a shot for 10 wins
if they lose to the ravens and lose to denver they would have to go 3-1 in the 4 games against hou , pitt , cinncy and bears in order to get to 10 wins

the key non afc east games for me a a jet fan for them to make the playoffs are:
ravens
broncos
bengals
steelers

3-1 in these games would be very good for them to do
