2017 Strength of Schedule: Jets
- Thread starter gmf1369
- Start date
We were 5-11, and we've got top 8 hardest schedule?
Where's this schedule created, Boston?
Couple of things: 1) 4 of the 7 games are vs divisional foes Pats and Dolphins whom we play regardless; and 2) teams change a bunch from year to year, like Jets from 10-6 to 5-11, so I'm not going to get too upset about it. To the extent that we do actually go into a rebuild, I would rather not have a cupcake schedule which gives us a false positive on the state of the rebuild.
Of course you all know that the opponents are set in a rotation that goes in perpetuity for 14 of the 16 games for every team. With the exception of those two games, you play the same schedule as the rest of the division with difficulty really based on how good or bad you are within that division, so for those games, the Pats will have an easier schedule than the Jets because they are a better team (and so forth). The other two games are against pre-set "other" AFC division teams that finished in the same position. In the Jets case, they finished last so they get Clev & Jax while NE gets Hous and Pitt)
The goal is to win a division as I don't think that they changed the rules that the Pats automatically win so this is a very fair way to do this. The problem isn't so much the opponents but the fact the team is bad, so complaining about the schedule is silly.

Except when the pats play Pittsburg,big Ben will be injured, and when we pay the Browns, they will have the best game in 4 years.
But yes opponents are mostly set in stone every year, the difficulty the league does control, is the schedule of those games played. Like when we played every top 5 qb in a6 game span, on short rest and cross country flights every week.

If we're lucky
I really can't see us winning vs this schedule with this team and coaching staff .
Big changes need to come and I don't see it.
Oh I forgot it's OK
We're rebuilding

Come on now, schedule hasnt come out and many are shrugging their shoulders already?
The off season hasnt even began yet. We have no idea how this team will shape up. Its evident that the roster will look 180' from 2016 with many new faces. As much as i didnt want Bowles back, the fact that he has a new coaching staff gives me a little bit more excitement that the young players will be better groomed.
Who knows, maybe just maybe, we'll be a team to be reckond with. Lets wait and see.
