Perhaps. But the Jets were 4-12 last year which is worse than Miami was this year. You guys were able to rebound to 10-6 with a journeyman QB. Let's not act like you're so much better that it's impossible for Miami to be on the rebound in 2016.
Jets out of the playoffs !!!!!!!

you guys(and Buf) are basically in the same spot as us, w/ some breaks can make the playoffs(though we didn't take advantage). we all have some talent and all have some holes, after NE the next 3 can finish in any order.
I like how he said Miami is a mess. As if the Jets being 4-12 was sunshine and puppies prancing last year. Any team can turn it around after a bad year. Will Miami? Probably not. I feel as if they're forever doomed to be .500 at best but that's the cynical person in me talking.
make the right HC hire, make some good moves in the offseason and Miami will have a chance. every team has a chance going into each offseason.
Not trying to add insult to injury but had the Jets played even decent games both times they played the Bills and won, they would be the #1 seed.
Unfortunately for us you guys are trending in the right direction. I knew Macagnan and Bowles would do well.

That's my point though. We are ahead of you. I thought the Jets established themselves as a threat to New England in the AFC East going forward. New England is starting to show some wear and tear.
The Dolphins should be better, they should be that second team IMO. But they're not for whatever reason. I think coaching has a lot to do with it.
The Bills will continue to spin their wheels with Rex.
The Jets have drafted very well on the defensive side of the ball in recent years. They need to rebuild their O-Line. If they can do that I think 11-12 wins is attainable.

Any team can rebound and bounce back strong from year to year. But just looking at things right now, you'd have to like our chances going forward over yours. Fitz is a journeyman, but he's the best QB this team has had since Chad Pennington. That doesn't say a whole lot, but the Jets are used to normally below average QB play. He works very well with our skill position players. He can get them the ball which is all we need him to do. His arm strength has always been a concern but we have to take the good with the bad. He's not a franchise guy but he's a good guy to let play while you groom someone else behind him.
We've finally found an offense that works for us. It's the best offense the Jets have had in recent memory. They need to tighten some things up on both sides of the ball and they have to rebuild the O-Line which is really bad, but the Jets are moving in the right direction.
Miami is one of those teams that should be good, but for whatever reason they aren't. I don't know if its a coaching problem or just a lack of talent. But Miami takes steps forward, you think they are ready to compete, and then they go and have a season like they had this year. Very weird.

Miami is kinda a mess though.
Miko Grimes
Firing your HC early in the season
The reports on Tannehill that have come out throughout the year.
Mike Wallace last year.
Something is wrong in that organization. I don't know if its a leadership issue or what, but something doesn't seem totally right is my point.
Say what you want about the Jets, but they have stability now. And to your point, yes the Jets were a mess under Idzik. He was sabatoging his Head Coach. I'm not trying to make the Jets out to be something that they aren't. But that's in the past now for the Jets.
Miami certainly has some messy things they'll need to remedy. But per the usual you make it seem as if the Jets are so much better when your team is a year removed from being two games worse than Miami was this year even after you admit the Dolphins are a mess.
I don't know if the Dolphins will rebound next year, or in 2017, or in 2030. It doesn't feel like they will b/c they've been bad forever. But I refuse to sit back and hear something like the Jets being so much better.
