I never like to see a player severely injured. Even a divisional opponent.  (I don't mind those nagging little injuries, that's part of the game)

 

I like to win on even playing field, on the merits.

Devils advocate - they still beat the Bills. If they view this as they can beat any teams with their D they could easily win games - 2 vs Pats, Broncos, Raiders, Falcons, Texans, Commanders, Browns. That is 9 wins. They only need a couple more wins in 2 games vs Fins, Giants, Cowboys, Chiefs, Eagles, Chargers. Can they win two of those and get to 11? Maybe.

I honestly feel bad for the Jets and their fans.  I hate New England and Miami, obviously, but I just don't have the same animosity toward the Jets.  They're a snakebitten franchises that can't seem to catch a break, so I guess I feel a little bit of affinity toward them.  It helps that the Jets and Bills have never really been relevant at the same time, at least since our SB era.  

 

If ever there was a roster that is just one above-average QB away from the SB, it is this year's Jets team.  They thought they had their QB and it came up snake-eyes.  That really hurts bad when you consider the cap implications.

As much as Monday sucked for a Bills fan, it was way worse for the Jets. Seeing your super bowl hopes disappear 5 minutes into the season was sad. For them of course. But eff them. I thought it was hilarious.

I mean, just imagine buy a really expensive ticket just to get a good seat and watch Aaron Rodgers.  I do feel bad for those.

I mean just to be clear I am no believer in Wilson, just also am not ready to dismiss the idea he could have gotten a little better since he last started to where he can be decent enough for them to win some games with that D and run game.

Not really. They were 7-10 last year with Breece Hall going down and only playing 7 games. Why would they be that much worse this year? Last year they had Wilson, Flacco, White and Streveler at QB. They go run heavy and have Wilson play smart its not as hard as people are making it out to be.

That is the point. People are acting like they were a 2 win team last year. They won 7 games with a rotating group of QB's. Wilson could settle in and play average ball and with a healthy Hall and Cook they are a better team than last year.

I honestly feel sorry for Jets fans but don't prolong the agony with dreams of a Superbowl party

If you do that, I no longer feel sorry

I'm beyond consolation prizes and moral victories, I want championships. 

 

I'm not drooling all over the Jets D either.  Sure they are good, but those turnovers were terrible. 

 

Our D is every bit as good.

Me too. Kyle Brandt was talking about how he left the stadium shortly after the injury and fans were still coming in. There was a family, mom, dad two sons all wearing Rodgers jerseys walking into the stadium talking about seeing Rodgers play. I remember being that kid excited to see our new "insert player here". To have that just taken away within a series? That hurts

 

Especially when now, you turn back to the guy they dumped last year. Just brutal

I’ll give SB hopes.

 

Playoff hopes? Not so fast.

What the Jets desperately need is a less then 40 healthy QB.

But, I almost bet you they will do nothing and pray Rogers will be fine

Kind of like the time bomb in Miami.

The Jets are screwing themselves by not trying to get another starting caliber QB (won't get elite, but game-manager level).  They are out there:  Winston, Dalton, trading to PIT for Mitch or Rudolph, Colt McCoy, MInshew, Mariota, T. Bridgewater, Keenum, Brisett.  

 

At least 1/2 of these QBs are better than what they have now and could serve as a competent game manager, which is all the Jets offense needs to push for a deep playoff run.

The problem is this week one. All those teams have playoff hopes and good backups

 

The guys that are FAs right now are not going to help them and no one is trading the top backup, not without squeezing the Jets hard

true, but I think the Jets have so many young guys on rookie contracts that even trading a 1st for Winston makes sense at this point.  They won't be able to draft one next year, and Rodgers status is up in the air.  Or, PIT may be willing to part with 1/2 of its backups for a 3rd next year and 2nd the following (Jets lack a 2nd next year)>

That Jets defense will keep them in nearly every game.

so will the RBs and G. Wilson, who just needs the ball near him.
