The problem the Jets have is they can't stop the run. The good running teams, Buff, Jax, Pats, and Bucs can ram it down their throats. When Douglas plays, they are just too damn small up front. This brings the'backers and safeties close to the line, which leaves Otis (Which way did they go George?)Smith in man coverage. 4 losses here. Note the absence of Det from my list in spite of B Sanders. Their style of play is to strech things out and let Barry find daylight. In their 3/4 with their quick linebackers the Jets can force Mitchel to throw (pant , pant) 1 victory here. Green Bay, 'nuff said. Mr O'Donnell meet MR White. 1 more loss The rest - miami (2x) colts, bears. Let us not forget, these are our beloved Jets. They shoul;d win these 4, but since Parcels is not god (yet), they will revert at least once. 3 w's, 1 L Add it up, 8-8-still remarkable considering. Has anyone seen Kotite around?
Note, I am a true Jet fan, and I pray for the playoffs but a dose of realism is probably warranted. God intervened once (see Oakland kick). I'm afraid he might be busy for the rest of the year.
