I suppose I could use the excuse the Browns lost because they had a game 4 days earlier and had to travel to Pittsburgh but maybe that's not big enough travel?? No, I do not buy the Jets had a game 4 days earlier excuse or that they had to get on a plane.

Putting aside the fact that the Jets were coming off their most devastating loss in the Rex era:

It’s time the NFL addresses the competitive disadvantage of teams making cross-country trips on short weeks. In the last 15 years there have been 13 instances where clubs that played Sunday traveled 1,500 miles or more for a Thursday night game. All 13 lost. That’s not a coincidence. It’s a trend. This year that group includes San Francisco, the Jets and Philadelphia, and enough’s enough. Level the playing field and stop this stupid practice.

0-13. Oh and Thirteen.

Everyone is beating them up over who they have beaten and how... has everyone forgotten they were the 2nd worst team in the league last year? Of course their schedule is weak. Aside from them playing the best and second best divisions in football from both conferences as their out of division opponents.

I didn't know this. Thanks, maybe there is something to it. (now that is good, useful info I like and I actually learned something!!) What if San Fran was travelling east to play Indy instead of the Ravens?? The Raiders never travel well regardless of how many days though.
