Jets provided better than expected performance yesterday (based on mediocrity of prior weeks) boosting near term outlook for the remainder of this half. Yet, as we all know, one game does not a season make…

They need to execute as well or better and win at least two, and hopefully all three of the next three weeks. For my dime, the season is really that simple. If they succeed in doing that they’ll be on a tremendous roll and the last part of the season will take care of itself.

Let’s expect that they are professionals and have now finally “gotten it,” i.e., the message Mangini purportedly gave that people lose jobs when they’re not winning; and if they win then whatever Bills, Patsies, or Fins do when they’re not playing us is irrelevant, and we can potentially secure home field playoff advantage…wouldn’t it be nice to have teams come to us in January?

Joe B.,

If the Jets are a true playoff contender, they should be able to go into NE and beat the injured and hobbled Pats at home.

Either we do it in the regular season or we do it in the playoffs. Either way, its going to have to be done.

When looking at a teams record and looking into playoff hopes, there are many solid facts. #1: Your team wins, #2: All other teams in your division need to lose, #3: When Your opponents play, the one with the higher record needs to lose.

Then, when your opponents have the same record one must go with the statistic thing and you would probably want the team you beat to win against the team that beat you. This means Bills over Pats would be the better choice. You want the Pats to end with the lower record because the tie-breaker looks better against the Bills than the Pats.

So GO BILLS.

If you don’t care about how much the Week 11 game will mean, then yes, the Bills-Pats game is irrelevant. Maybe I’m weird, but I’d prefer not to have that game be a veritable must-win off of one day of practice at our most bitter rival’s stadium.

What is irrelevant is all of this talk if the Jets don’t beat St. Louis.

Okay, when the season started I think some people thought we would be at or near the top by this point in the season.

BUT, after a lost to Oakland did anyone think we would be?

If the Jets take care of business in the AFC East (and they still have the Bills and Fins at home), then the Pats-Bills game is irrelevant. But, a Pats win makes it real hard for the Bills to either make the playoffs or win the AFC East because they’ll have an 0-3 divisional record. Either way, the Jets need to beat the Pats, but if the Pats beat the Bills, the Jets game will not mean their season. If the Bills win, that Jets game would be for the Pats’ season. So, do you want a Pats team with its season on the line? I’m tilting to slightly wanting to see the Pats beat the Bills, hand them 3 straight AFC East losses and take them out.

Does it really matter who wins between the Pats and Buffalo?

The Jets control their own destiny as they play each team 1 more time this season. I dont think we need to worry whether they win or lose; not yet at least.
