Jets 3-3 Record- Real or Fake?
Lets take a look at the teams the Jets have won against:
Buffalo Bills 3-3
Miami Dolphins 3-3
Indianapolis Colts 2-3
All these teams have in common is that they all SUCK. Any good to decent team in the NFL should win against these teams and Jets have. But is that everything the record says about the Jets? Lets look at who they have lost against:
Pittsburgh Steelers 2-3
San Francisco 49ners 4-2
Houston Texans 5-1
Barring the Steelers losing record, all the above teams are playoff caliber teams. How can the Jets call themselves good if they can't at least beat one of them?
It's because the Jets record is FAKE. What separates playoff teams from middle of the road to losing teams, is that they can actually win against a team that's better. They don't have to win every game but, it should be split. The Jets are not a playoff team, they will continue to win games they should win and lose games that should be close or games in which the Jets are outmatched.
The games they have left are against:
Patriots
Dolphins
Seahawks
Rams
Patriots
Cardinals
Jaguars
Titans
Chargers
Bills
My prediction now:
Patriots L
Dolphins W
Seahawks L
Rams W
Patriots L
Cardinals up for grabs
Jaguars W
Titans W
Chargers L
Bills W
So miracles depending, The Jets are looking at an 8-8 record, not enough by any standard to make the playoffs. Maybe they might be able to pull off wins against the Cardinals or Chargers just because they're prone to losing on their own but the star would have to allign for any hope of this Jets team making the playoffs.

Season in Perspective
Here is a quick blurb on Jets season by a long time Jets fan with 20+ years of watch the struggle. Don't ask why he continues to watch them, only know he's ready to get real with them.
Mr. Jet When your team implodes at the end of last season and you basically keep the same players beginning with the quarterback, why are you expecting a different result?
This team has quit after only 4 games into the season. What is quitting? Besides being buried and shut out at home 34-0, how about getting a punt blocked by when San Francisco sends only one rusher. The Jets have been known to have great special teams year in and out but this game was a fiasco.
It's time to send the Sanchez-Ryan-Tennenbaum regime packing. Ryan's message has fallen on deaf ears. They do not practice hard enough on both sides of the ball and it shows on Sunday. Football is a game of emotion and preparation, and this team lacks both. Ryan come off as a clown who boasts of his team being "ground and pound", tough and his players being great. It really is just foolishness.
More and more this looks like a high school football team beginning with Ryan and Sporano down to lover boy Sanchez and church boy Tebow.
I am embarrassed with this team!
The problem starts at the top with rich kid Woody Johnson, in way over his head. Hey Woody just because you have money, doesn't make you smart. Nor does it mean you know what you're doing. Do us all a favor and SELL THE TEAM! For as long as you are the owner, this team will never be taken seriously.
