I was ridiculed during the 4-10 and 6-10 seasons because no matter what or who we were playing i told everyone around faithfully this is the game we win, its this week that we win and i that was with bad teams. Yes this team is young Yes this team has lost some dumb games. Yes sanchez is young but lets hold out lets wait and see and have faith and believe they WILL do this they WILL make the playoffs. Its our birth right....thats how we have to start thinking..go jets and go fans they need our support.......

How can a team with the # 2 defense in the league; the best rushing offense; special teams that are pretty good too; and a rookie QB with talent who seems to be getting beyond his mistake ridden games come out 5-11 or 6-10. There's just no way that should happen. While 8-0 or 7-1 for the second half surely looks overly optimistic, if the breaks even out, it could easily happen. If the breaks continue to go against the Jets, then 9-7 or 8-8 may happen. But why would fans assume the breaks are going to continue to go against us? Because they always have? We didn't have a team with the second best defense and the best rushing offense in those years. A big losing record? It makes no sense. OK, here’s what I don’t understand.

I agree with you Johnny. How can you guys expect 7-1 in the second half when we can't even beat Miami? Come on put down the kool Aid guys.

I now feel that that was too harsh an assessment, so I'm revising it - all the way up to 6-10. We should be able to beat Tampa Bay and, perhaps, Jacksonville, but forget the rest. I am, however, constantly amazed at how most of the Jets fans in here are so sure that we're world beaters. I wish I could borrow just one pair of those rose colored glasses. Never-the-less, I'd be happy to be wrong.

Absurd. Then you woke up. Pigs will fly. And Jamarcus Russel throws a 300 yard passing game. Be realistic people. I think we will get hot but fall short.

We've been in every game, and it's bound come together after the bye. I think we will win the AFC EAST with an 11-5 record, New England will finish 10-6, Miami will finish 9-7. It's not uncommon for a team to get on a good run... I think the Jets are about to embark on one. Coach Ryan mentioned something telling, about the year that the Raiders made the playoffs after starting off 4-4. You see every season some team was 2-4 or 2-5 at one point of the season and turned it on... Why can't that be the Jets. This is the playoff picture as of today... IND 7-0, DEN 6-1, CIN 5-2, PIT 5-2, NE 5-2, HOU 5-3, BAL 5-3, SD 4-3, NYJ 4-4 & MIA 3-4. I predict the final standings will be: 1. AFC NORTH PIT (13-3) w/ wins against DEN, CIN, KC, BAL, OAK, CLE, BAL and MIA, w/ a lose against GB 2. AFC SOUTH IND (13-3) w/ wins against HOU, NE, BAL, DEN, BUF and JAX w/ loses against HOU, TEN, NYJ 3. AFC EAST NYJ (11-5) w/ wins against JAX, NE, CAR, BUF, TB, IND and CIN w/ lose against ATL 4. AFC WEST SD (11-5) w/ wins against DEN, KC, CLE, DAL, CIN, TEN, WAS and loses against NYG and PHI 5. WILDCARD #1 NE (10-6) w/ wins against MIA, CAR, BUF, JAX, HOU w/ loses against IND, NYJ, NO and MIA. 6. WILDCARD # 2 DEN (10-6) w/ wins against WAS, KC, OAK and KC and loses against PIT, SD, NYG, IND and PHI Outside looking in: BAL 9-7 MIA 9-7 HOU 7-9 CIN 8-8 I think the Jets will go 7-1 the rest of the way… We’ve been in every game, and it’s bound come together after the bye.

6. WILDCARD # 2

Outside looking in:

BAL 9-7

UNFORTUNATELY, THAT WON'T HAPPEN. I'D BE HAPPY IF THEY WIN THE GAMES THEY ARE "SUPPOSED TO", WHICH WOULD MAKE THEM 9-7 AT BEST.

Folks, does it really matter if we are 8-8 or 10-6 and get a WC spot only to lose in the first round? This is what I am looking for? - Continuing development of Sanchez and the offense with Keller, Edwards, & Cotch healthy - Greene getting 12-15 carries a game and showing he can be a major contributor next year even when Leon is back - Giving Murrell and Westermann a shot (VG I am done with) - Seeing how DeVito, Pouha and Pitoitua play on D-Line - Getting a big play or 2 from Rhodes - Seeing if Miller can regain explosiveness on KO - See if we can find a balance between run-heavy offense and giving Sanchez ability to use his weapons I think you are looking at 9-7 +/- 1 game.
