I know this sounds nuts, but I think they'll be in the playoff race EOY. 

Might not get in, but 10-7 is plausible, 9-8 would be my bet. 

That's because it is nuts.

The Jets' remaining schedule isn't all too terribly difficult, though it also isn't "We're playing the Jets" easy, either. And New York isn't a good enough team to consistently beat the mediocre teams yet, At home against the Rams will be difficult and at Buffalo won't even be serious football. You'd figure they'll drop at least two against Arizona, Seattle and Tuax2. That's 7-10 before Rodgers retires and Adams fires his agent for all the bad advice.

[JosephC]

You think Rodgers will really retire?  I don't know.  It's not often that a guy gets to be both quarterback and general manager at the same time.  Sounds like too much fun to me.

We'll see...look at their schedule. Look at the losses they've had.

They could EASILY be a 6 win team...right now.

They just got Adams, Reddick...and a weak schedule.

Really, probably not, no. That's a hefty paycheck to walk away from. Plus maybe he'll tell himself that NOW they'll start winning with Adams there.

I recognize their offensive line isn't the best, but they've got great players all over the place and every team has flaws. It doesn't make sense they'd be so bad unless the coaching staff really is that terrible.

And nobody on that schedule is looking at the Jets and shaking in their boots because they are a bad football team for whatever reason. Coaching, chemistry, whatever. A victory over Houston doesn't change that. Nobody loses all of them. Well, almost nobody. My guess is that all the vitriol coming from Jets fans after the Patriots loss motivated them a little more. They're not good enough a team to keep that motivation up the rest of the way.

Who is the biggest douche nozzle of a head coach in the NFL?

For my money it's Sean Payton.

Classic MM with the fake punt that ends up costing them a touchdown.

Not sure how old you are, but I respected Tom Landry a lot.

That doesn't matter to me.

I kind of feel bad for MM but he's a dead man walking at this point. 

What a colossal a cluster F.

I don't see how even Jerry can wait until the end of the season to fire him.

[adambr2]

Of course Joe Flacco, who looks like the comeback player of the last 2 years, decides to look like a total pumpkin again when he goes to Minnesota.

The rest of the Jets schedule is pretty soft. They suck, but if the Rodgers-Adams-Wilson trio can get going they don't really play anyone that you can't see them beating. 

At the same time I've thought that every week this season, so...

[adambr2]

Flacco has Sermon wide open for a 1st in the flat on third and 2. 

Instead he throws into double coverage downfield, hangs Pittman out to dry, gets him hurt, and then they don't convert on 4th and 2.

[yourout]

Old man flaco did not help their cause in this one.

Derek Carr did the same thing in getting Olave concussed again, much like what Love did with Watson earlier this year. I didn't see the play but I assume the Vikings were in zone coverage. Quarterbacks need to learn not to throw balls to receivers running through the middle like that. Flacco is old enough to know better.

The Bucs are a very interesting team. They have some very high quality wins, nearly knocked off KC, but are still middling and have some bad losses.

Wins against WAS, DET,  PHL, and a 51-point game in NO. Two OT losses to KC and ATL.

If they still had Evans and Godwin they'd be a scary team to face in the playoffs. Defense is a little suspect though.

Nice to see Baker Mayfield rebound his career after getting out of purgat...er Cleveland.

I gotta say, in all my years...in all my random iterations...this the first 'douche nozzle' I've witnessed. 

This is the kind of cutting edge witticism we need.

Indeed. Also, on the road. At KC. Have to go for 2 at the end there. Why are you even flirting with giving Mahomes another opportunity with the ball? You can't leave that up to a coin flip. Live and die with the consequence of being bold and going for the win. Bowles played way too conservative there, imho.

[Team Canada]

Yeah I didn't understand that move at all. I think you have to view a tie as an assumed loss and go for two. No one's going to criticize that move at all, because you know Mahomes is death if he gets the ball first in OT.

And to burn his last timeout with 30 seconds made no sense.

There was still 27 seconds left on the clock. Mahomes could've led two game winning drives with that much time.
