If they get Derek Carr they'll be a tough foe next year.

Hahaha. Why? Is Carr suddenly a good QB?

Saleh cares a lot about his image. He gets upset by fan/media comments and changes the way he does things because of it. Statements like, "We'll see them again in the playoffs." and "I'm keeping receipts" are 'fake tough guy' acts. The whole running the stairs before games stuff. It's all a big act. He'll take orders and change coordinators if he's told to do so like he's been doing at QB. Jets fan liken him to Todd Bowles. 

 

Now, my view is that while it may discussed he won't be asked to change coordinators by Douglas or Woody.

Lol. I’m keeping receipts was do high school drama. What a douche.

They have a ton of talent on both sides. If that team gets a QB, they will easily stay past the Pats for many years and could rival Miami. Maybe they just arm themselves with Jimmy G or Carr and take a shot it works out next year. 

It's possible, but how did that work this year for Denver, Indianapolis, Washington and Cleveland? You never know, but I think it's more about the front office and coaching staff.

Im torn. As a football fan, its frustrating to see stupidity on that level (Texans Bill O'Brien). As a Bills fan, itd be funny and solidify another 3 years of breezing to AFCE Champs

 

That's kind of a win- win hahah

 

I feel the same, I think it will be funnier for us bills fans if there is an implosion

They have talent on D, but they DO NOT have a lot of talent on offense.

 

Their only WR that scares anyone is a rookie, the only RB that scares anyone has been injured since October, they have no QB and their OL stinks.

 

They are still light years away from challenging the Bills in any capacity. 

Light years?  More like two years.  They've got a young squad, so they have a couple of years to fill the holes in their roster and in particular get a veteran QB.  In that time, the Bills' front office will have to shed some of the talent on the defense due to Josh's and Von's contracts kicking in. and let's be honest, our O line is just average at best and our WRs are mostly ineffective.

No top tier QB is going to play for that dysfunctional franchise. Like the Browns, the jets is the place where QBS careers never take off and eventually die because of how bad the organization is. 

 

 

They're dysfunctional mostly because they haven't got a QB. Saleh is a good coach. Yeah they look awful now, but I think QBs will absolutely look there as a real option for next year.

Fair enough, but how did it work out with Seattle? They developed the guy they brought in as a backup but it's still about getting a good veteran QB onto a solid team.  If the Titans hadn't gotten rid of AJ Brown, they'd still be looking damn good after making that move.

"Obviously, I love our guys. They fight their tails off," Saleh said. "I think I speak for everyone in that we missed an opp. We're going to see these guys again. I just think we are."

 

That's about as close to a playoff guarantee as Saleh can get. A third matchup this season would mean the 7-6 Jets make the postseason. They currently sit in the No. 8 seed following the Chargers' Sunday night victory over Miami and could be leapfrogged by New England if the Patriots win Monday night.

 

"I think our team is good enough," Saleh said of why he's confident in the Jets' chances. "Obviously, it's week to week. But we've got a good football team."

Key difference is that when they were 7-4 and 8-3, both teams played an easy schedule.  When they started playing tough teams, they got exposed.

That’s mostly true.   But earlier in the season they were beating mediocre teams like the Seahawks and Patriots who they lost to today.  And our very own Bills lost to both the Fish and the Jets, before beating both the 2nd time around. 
 

Miami especially can’t win on the road.  They had a front loaded home schedule to build up their 8 - 3 mark. 4 out of 5 losses won their current skid have been away.

I forgot about the “receipts” comment. 😹

He's been a good QB for a long time.

Matthew Stafford was a good QB on the Lions, too.

 

I get it, you're a casual fan, you can't tell they're good until the team goes on a run and it reaches out and bonks you on the nose.

Now Ward, weren’t you a little hard on the Beaver last night ?

They actually regressed to the mean. Their offense was suspect all year, it did not matter who was the QB. Wilson was the scapegoat, but their offense sucked with all four QBs. White is probably the only serviceable one, but he is no franchise keeper.

Losing Breece Hall was a devastating blow. He was well on his way to winning OROY the year if he stayed healthy.

Are you really even serious? They have a ton of young talent on O.

110% agree. Get QB “average to above average” and they’re completely fine. Short termer, White, proved that case. 
 

another case of—you can build a solid team of 52, but 53? you need a QB1.

 

AFCE is competitive next year, again

Only 5 more seasons of missing the playoffs for them to catch the Bills' drought.  Can they do it?  They do get the privilege of a 7th spot to try to slip in on that we didn't have.

[Greg S]

Listening to WFAN and all of the Jets callers complaining about Johnson, Saleh, etc etc is so enjoyable.

Won't happen - Jets D is too good - if they get a decent QB, they're trouble for the BIlls.
