Season Opener Preference

[SackExchange]

I agree. Their oline, DBs, run game, and WRs wont scare me at all going into the season. Their front 7, Gronk, and Brady will be formidable. They will be favored, and should be, but no one knows how Bowles will game plan and what his in-game adjustments capabilities. Jets will have a secondary and amazing front 7 to give brady and gronk and edelman fits and at least slow them down...lets see how Gaily attacks them with ivory, marshall, Decker, and Amaro...other than McCourty, and all the B to A+ Cbs off the market...how the pats match up with our offense. Butler was punished all game till that final INT...and that guy who hadnt made a catch all year is no Brandon marshall. Are they going to make Butler a #1 CB and match him up with marshall? If so, McCourty will have to help that side, right? Who covers Decker and now McCourty isnt on Amaro...

No, SE is right, just another team in the division.

It was the 2014 Patriots who won the division and the SB, not the 2015 Pats. The team already looks drastically different, and that is by subtraction, not addition.

They were not great at stopping the run last year, but they jumped out to such big leads that teams had to pass against that secondary. This year, their secondary scares nobody. And if the Jets overpaid some for Cromartie, look at what McCourty got.

Brady still needs to be respected, and they still have about a dozen good slot receivers and tight ends. But I don't know who they have that can stop anyone else. It is a far less complete team right now than it was last year.

bills

and it won't be the pats. they are the defending SB champs who open on thursday night. while the jets are an improved team, and there is the revis storyline, it's not a matchup i see nbc going with for their kickoff game. more likely the pats vs another afc division winner (denver or indy) or aganst dallas or phily

Was thinking the same...Philly with there madness might be a good matchup....although you know the Broncos would be hyped to no end.....also Indy is a good one...I really dont want to play them the first game..the fix will be in

I said other

This is almost a totally new team, with a new O and D. It is going to take a few weeks for them to get their crap together. Would rather have non-division rivals first few weeks.

Won't happen that way, and we'll probably get the pats week one, but that's how I prefer it

OTHER

I want to open at home against Cleveland, Jacksonville or Tennessee.

I love starting the season with a W, so give me the easiest opponent you can find.

 

[Johnny Unite Us]

I would like to open against the Bills and slap them around.

I want NE to open against Miami, and I want Suh to foot-stomp Brady and injure him.

Then I want to play Miami while Suh is suspended.

Then I want to play NE while Brady is injured.

Hmmmm, Suh's first game after getting a 100 mill contract he foot-stomps Brady? Well, let's hope so, but I'm guessing that's not how he justifies the investment.

If we open against the Pats, it will be a Thursday night in New England. I have a feeling it will be the against the Bills ay MetLife. The only issue is that we have had 5 consecutive seasons where we have started at home.

+1 here, plus OD and the home opener (if different) are a special event as the Pats/Bills/Dolphins games. No need to combine them


Then again, on second thought, can't we just play Fordham (the Rams eat s*** BTW) or Columbia? Get a few easy wins in to start

lol I like that idea even better.

Pats likely open vs. Indy.

I want the Bills, and I want it to be at home. This is because I want to put the whole circus of "Rex coming back for the first time" to bed early. Bowles appears to be all business, and I want those stupid distractions out of the way early.

What about the revis coming back story against the sb patriots?

 

[Jetsfanatic]

For the record, I voted "other", but I think it will either be the Pats or the Bills.

 

[mykcuz]

Geno had had 2 years to gel, what's it matter if we face patriots week 1 or 6?

 

[NYJETSDAN16]

Pats. They're always weaker at the start of the season.
