Wow, I originally thought 9 or 10 wins but after looking at that schedule... I'm starting to think 6 of 7.
6 or 7 but the dolphins w/ a similar sched will win 11 or 12, right?
They racked up wins against HORRIBLE teams last year and lost to ALL the good teams on their schedule. The only team that had a winning record when they beat them was the Seahawks and they SUCKED anyways.
What about the Chargers? We beat them twice on the ROAD.
The Jets are what I like to refer to as an "every other team" as in there good every other year. The reason for this is b/c they get a good record one year then get a hard schedule the next, then they lose 10 games, then get an easy schedule next year and win 10 games. The Jets I feel are in the worst posistion of any NFL team b/c there good enough to beat up on below avg teams but not good enough to beat above Average teams on a regular basis.
That is silly, playing in the AFC East the sched is always hard, we haven't had an easy sched in many, many years and w/ the new schedule format only 2 games are determined by the previous year's record. The only way we have a down year this year is if we have alot of injuries.
San Diego will be out for vengence too, so that could be a tough one at home for them.
San Diego was out for vengeance for a thrashing we put on them in '02 when we played them in Week 2, how did that work out? SD was out for vengeance in the playoffs for the '02 thrashing and the Week 2 loss, how did that work out? and those games were at SD , now they come here.
Its Balitmore. Ever see their Defense play at home? They were 6-2 at home last year, one of those 6 wins against Pitt. and their 2 L's by a combined 4 points. Thats why I think the Jets will lose there. They also beat them IN New York last year.
W/ Quincy Carter at QB and w/ the worst OC in the history of the NFL calling a halfback option up 14-0 and going in for a score that would have put the game away but instead it's an INT and completely changes the game around.
Some of these predicitions are hilarious- 5, 6, 7 wins
Come on, we were 10-6 and needed 1 of 2 makeable FGs to get to the AFC Title Game and we have IMPROVED this offseason. At absolute worst we'll be 9-7 and that's if we have a bad year.
