Correct, that nullifies all of the freakish talent he has and the fact that he was considered a top 10 CB before getting injured/splitting from the team.

Also, analyzing an NFL schedule before the season starts is one of the dumbest, most useless things one can do.

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.

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.

Default Scav's Jets predictions

1: Baltimore = W
2: New England = W
3: @ Miami = W
4: @ Buffalo = W
5: Minnesota = Dependent on Favre but likely W
6: @ Denver = L
7: Bye
8: Green bay = W
9: @ Detroit = W
10: @ Cleveland = W
11: Houston = L
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

OMG, they could be 1-2 with those first 3 games easy.

New England is gonna suck, I'll agree that 2-1 is more likely then 3-0 but Rex will have them ready early.

I actually think they lose the opener against the Ravens.

Wow! I didn't realize this. I don't think 10 wins is going to be a problem with this group. Revis will be going by Game 1. Jets are offering 10 year 120 mil. to Revis wanting $160.

Denver is going to be horrid. Dumervil is a HUGE loss.

This is the type of schedule that got Dikta fired, when they went 1-8 in the last nine games. They can start out 5-3 and tease everyone, and then finish at best 7-9 when all said and done.

They are talking around here like they are gonna win the division this year and they have ZERO chance. You are right about 7-9, that is best case scenario. I would rather be 4-12 this year so we can play a 4-12 schedule, get a draft pick, and then win the division next year.

Someone tell me what the o/u on Bears wins this year, I am guessing they have it at 7.5 or 8
