Well someday you might want the team to win something significant...like another superbowl.
What are your biggest concerns going into the season?

if those three games are in the division we won't be
You're basically saying this is a 10 win team with a healthy Rodgers. ... So if Rodgers only plays 14 games, we miss the playoffs. Last season, we had a decimated o-line, Breece Hall for only half of the season, and no Aaron Rodgers and we were close. With Aaron Rodgers this season, if the Jets only make it to the wild card, I'll be pissed.
We will have some depends just incase.
No, what I said was, if we lose three games in our division if he was injured we then wouldn't make the playoffs, you're spinning off at a different tangent from the original statement and reply.
I'm still concerned with our LB's, watching them making tackles 5-7 yards off the line of scrimmage just screams Mosley (gets crazy tackles because they are always going at him, and he is catching them after positive gains).
We lack speed and depth there. This is going to be a problem

Yes, it was only a scrub game last night. But we seem to be continuing a multi-year trend of getting beat for big gains up the gut. Is this Ulbrich's scheme of our line/LBs?
It may be a combination of both. Our guys seem to lack the speed to play in space. Mosley is a 3-4 ILB beast!!! But in a 4-3 you need a sideline to sideline burner at MLB (and that he is not).
Yeah, sounds right.
I'm not spinning anything. Here's your quote with context:
"if those three games are in the division we won't be"
Last season, 9-10 wins was enough to make it to post season. So, if Rodgers is the difference of the Jets being a playoff team and not being a playoff team, he would be worth 2-3 more wins over last season or Zach + Flacco + White + Strev + 2-3 wins = Aaron Rodgers. This is assuming that the Jets with Rodgers are now a playoff team. You're also assuming that the Jets will lose those 2-3 games without Rodgers. Yeah I excluded the divisional opponent tidbit, but I don't think it matters.
I don't really know how else to interpret that. It's ok, you're allowed to have your opinion and I wasn't challenging it. I would just be upset if it actually turned out to be the case.
We have as tough of a schedule as you can get coming out the gate. It’s going to be important to try to win as many of those as possible.
But we have a soft back half of the schedule, so if we start strong the schedule does get easier later in the season and gives us a chance to really finish strong,

I'll be pleased as punch if the team starts 4-2...and even happier if wins come against the Eagles or Chiefs.
4-2 would be fantastic! I'd be happy with a 3-3 start. The back end of the schedule really gives us an opportunity to finish strong.
OL. I watched a replay on Tippman from last nights game. He looked very good . He should now be in the mix for the starting center. My take will be Tippman at C, AVT and perhaps McGovern at guard (not sure how Tomlinson has looked so far) with Brown at LT and Becton at RT. Mitchell better be ready cause I don’t think Becton will make it out of the first couple of games. The remainder of the reserves aren’t too good, so if injuries hit…. We’re in trouble
Becton actually looked good for the few snaps that he played. He pulled himself due to some discomfort on the turf, but honestly we had a few guys looking good out there.
Warren didn't look great, but he has time to develop (he's a big body, so eager to see how he develops).
Well the bit you excluded because you didn't think it mattered, was the only bit that mattered in a post that says
'If those three games were in division'
The whole point of the post was to say we can't afford to lose three in division games, I didn't think it was that hard tbh, forget it, he won't get injured and we will go through 17-0 and then be SB winners.
ps
Also assuming we will lose the three games without Rogers was probably the original point of the post in a thread entitled 'What is your biggest concern going into the season?'
Rogers getting injured is without doubt the biggest concern of any Jets fans season.
Why are you so defensive? I'm not even challenging your opinion. sheesh.
This is as tough as it gets, but I don’t think it’s make/break. The back half of the schedule allows us to finish strong and close out ground

Very early gauge of what we will be (but it will take some time for the team to gel). If we can get our shares of wins through this, it really sets us up nicely for the rest of the season.

That's what they said last year, and look at what happened.
