After The Giants thoroughly destroy them on 11/15 The Jetsmightnotsuck should be able to handle them quite nicely come December.
Hey......this comedy writing stuff is kinda easy.........
LOL. Heard it again today on ESPN from the experts. Of all the 2-0 teams expected not to make the playoffs, the Jest are #1. The reason? Because they're the Jets.

Because they're the Jets is a pretty good reason, but let's not forget that an 11-5 Patriots team missed the playoffs in -- I think it was 2008, the Matt Cassell year -- when an easy schedule let a Miami Dolphins team running a single-wing (wildcat) offense tear through the season and take the division primarily by defending home field against the Pats. You may remember this as the year of Brett Favre. New England needed the Jets to Take out the Dolphins on the last day of the season and -- of course -- the Jets could not.
I don't really think New Jersey (green) is good enough to keep this thing going, but losing Geno to face punching was addition by subtraction, and a bunch of teams on the Jets' schedule don't look nearly as good as maybe we thought they were.
This is the beauty of rooting for an historically inept organization: There is such a thing as September.
Didn't the Patriots have the exact same schedule as the Dolphins that year? The Jets have a pretty good defense except for maybe their linebackers. The offense looks pretty good and I can't complain much about Fitzpatrick. But from following the Jets all these years, yeah, I just know something will happen and they'll crash and burn.
Yes . . . all division teams have the same schedule every year, except for two games, which are determined by where you finish in the division. First-place teams play first-place teams and so on. I seem to recall feasting on the western divisions that year. The NFC West is a great division now, but people forget Seattle won that thing a few years ago with a 7-9 record.
In any case, I wasn't that surprised when Buffalo took out the Colts. I watched that team beat Green Bay at the end of last Season when Green Bay could have had a shot a home-field advantage in the playoffs. But the Jets beating the Colts means that either Andrew Luck's ascension has hit a serious snag, or those loveable, laughable J-E-T-Ss might have a little more to say this year than many people thought.
As a Pats fan, in truth I would rather see the Jets do better than highly-touted Buffalo this year, just so I can have yet another good belly laugh at Rex Ryan's expense.
Don't you just love that guy?
Luck suffers with a porous offensive line. The guy gets hit so often I don't how how he'll survive many more years in the NFL. Can't for the life of me figure out why they don't give him the protection needed to live up to his potential.
I'm not missing Rex, that's for sure.
I thought maybe Bowles would bribe someone to punch Smith in the mouth again in order to keep Fitzpatrick as QB, but he decided to keep him there even if Smith returns this week. Finally a good move by the Jets.
I'm just glad the Jets aren't embarrassing this year... everything else is gravy.
Sure there was. There was circumstantial and credible evidence in the texts that were produced and credible inferences that can be drawn from the destruction of evidence. Spoliation of evidence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
But beyond all that, the judge made his decision, and unless there's an appeal that says otherwise, it's a done deal, and the NFL can just live with it, establish protocols to make sure that particular form of cheating gets thwarted going forward, and move on.

The season is still young. G. Smith will be back soon enough.
Words of wisdom. Couldn't agree more.
That was the year the Dolphins had the old Jets QB Chad Pennington. I think it was his one healthy year with the Fish. Chad was a good QB who couldn't stay healthy for long.
Pats are finding many different ways to skin the Jaguars today. They have scored on every drive.
Brady got his 400th TD pass today as well.

Ain't lookin' too good for the Fish today. Buffalo has recovered from their loss to New England quite well, it seems.
Well, Arkansas dropped another one. The Razorbacks are sad this season......again.
Something is going to have to give when Arkansas plays Tennessee this week. Someone will have to win that game somehow.
LOL, no doubt. I was hoping the Vols would knock off the Gators, no such luck. I respect Bret Bielema and I think in the Big 12 conference he would be kicking ass but his game plan for SEC competition just isn't working. Our QB is an absolute train wreck. I've lost count of how many close games he has cost us in his y/ears as starting QB. Which brings me to sunny point number 2.....our backup QB is our starting QB's little brother.....Really?? We couldn't find a better back up than the kid brother? I really don't get our coach right now.
I'm not sure what to make of the Dolphins start. I thought they would be better than this. They made a few nice off season moves, had a decent draft and got their best offensive lineman back from injury. UGH - pass the bag, please. (I need two bags, one to wear and one to puke in)

I peeked from under the paper bag and things seem to look normal again - Giants won, Jets are back to being Jets, Cowgirls lost.
I can live with that.
I can live with that.
Broncos are an ugly 3-0. For now, I'll concentrate on the numbers and not the adjective. They were about one for seven in reviewed calls and zero for three in placements near the first down line. I really don't believe that refs have it in for any team, but dang, you scratch your head at the numbers sometimes (although calling the overloaded line on the Lions was huge).
