I feel like a GM would normally get fired for that kind of success rate.

Bill Belichick may be the only head coach / GM in the NFL with 'diplomatic plates' on his vehicle. 🤔

I could seriously see them finishing last in the Division. 

 

The Jets just aren't going to lie down and let them have it without a fight

I hear you but Jets could be an interesting, surprise team to watch. Maybe good enough for the 3 spot.

Jets are gonna be bad. Only way they finish third in the division is if they win 5 games and the Pats* win 4

Can't believe how many times Bill Polian was on that list.  Who knew.....

Depends on Wilson. They had a good offseason. On paper ( I know on paper doesn't mean squat) they have improved. If they can show that success on the field with Wilson improving then they could win 7-8 games. They won't be a playoff threat but they probably won't be total crap either.

 I just can't see the Jets winning more than 6 games with this schedule.  I could be wrong but we will see.

 

I really could see them going 0-9

That is a tough schedule to start. Just guessing here but they have a shot to split with the Pats and Fins (Tua sucks so I could the Jets possibly getting a win). They should have a good chance against the Bears, Lions at home, Jags, Seahawks. After that they would have to pull off an upset maybe the Steelers and Browns given their QB situations. But those two games would be an upset if they can get it done.

Wilson is terrible.  Jets made the right move on letting Darnold go, but Wilson is no better. That dude looked lost far more than like he belongs

Isaiah Wynn has been hurt but when he has been out there he has been a good left tackle. Not sure what has happened this offseason but he is not a bust. If the Pats are seriously considering trading him Dallas should make that phone call immediately.

His numbers were terrible. But there were flashes from Wilson. More so than any of the other rookie QBs last year. Now it was only flashes but he flashed some major potential. The injury hurts because it is a key year for him but I absolutely would not write him off.

I didnt really see many myself. It would be fun if he was good. Rivalries are fun, but I just don't see it with him

Typical Belichick with his psyche shenanigans. Pats will be solid. Lots of talent on that defense. Barmore could be the best DL in the division.

I'm inclined to agree; never trust Belichick when he goes into phony humility mode. The Pats aren't the juggernaut they used to be but they're still a legitimate threat and a decent Wild Card worthy squad in most facets of the game. They're not ever regressing to Steve Grogan-era futility so long as the Dark Lord remains at the helm.

Not forcing a punt against the Bills...twice...once in the playoffs...shows how long a game Belichick is willing to play.

While he has a low floor and could utterly flame out if someone said to me now going into 2022 one of the 2021 QBs is going to be elite in 2 years which one is it? I'd go Wilson. If you can get his flashes consistently he makes the most wow plays of that group.
