But all rational logic says otherwise--talent deficient enough to be a 6-win team, but still picking 19th. Short term gain/long term compromise.

Malapropismic Depository Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 How many here, are actually pulling for the team to win games ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philibusters Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I am kind of in a win win position. If we play well and win, I'm happy. If we lose that makes me happy to improve our draft position. That said I hate uncompetitive games. I was fine with the NY Giants loss last week or the Packers, NYG, Eagles losses last year, but uncompetitive losses make me unhappy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that will be consolation to you guys. Because, even if we beat Dallas, then whoever wins the TNF game, will be in first place.

That sentiment usually wears off by the end of the first quarter each game though. Rinse, Repeat. I do love the draft though as a consolation.

Spaceman Spiff Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Wonder if the Jets end up with #1 and instead of going with Trevor Lawrence, they ****can Gase (they will, it's just a matter of time) and keep Darnold. I'm not angry if we wind up #2. Ideally, I'd like us to be #1 but I think the Jets are a little ****tier than us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a really hard time seeing them keep Darnold over taking Trevor Lawrence, regardless of who their HC ends up being. I think Darnold is pretty close to permanently damaged goods at this point. Could a new coach help? Quite possible. But would that change the talent diffrence between him and Lawrence? I don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so. Everyone said the same thing about Tannehill before he got out from under Gase, now he's an early MVP candidate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but Miami also traded Tannehill before the season even started. Now the Jets are in a situation with a QB who's playing poorly and look to be in a legit position to possibly land the #1 pick and probably the cleanest overall QB prospect to come out since Luck. I just have a hard time seeing the Jets ownership/FO looking at that situation and saying "Well, Darnold has been bad but maybe if we bring in a new coach he'll suddenly turn it around end up being great" and taking that risk and passing on Lawrence. Plus, as we all know, usually a new coach is likely going to want his own QB in that situation. If I were them I'd get rid of Gase AND trade Darnold for whatever they can get while snagging Lawrence.

I don't know if a team has ever had 2 Ties in a season, let alone in the first half of the season. But if they did, Us and Dallas would be 2-5 And Philly would be 1-4-2 I believe with the math they use, Philly would actually be considered a tie with our records. Or they probably would determine it by the digits of the winning percentage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming that Philly would be behind us since we beat them and have more wins. looking it up, apparently ties count as half a win AND half a loss...so the Giants and Eagles tying while the Redskins (yeah, I said it lol) win would put both behind us.

KDawg Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 “Do you want the team to win” What a loaded question. For me... the answer is yes. But that doesn’t always mean winning games in the short term. But, at the same time, that’s thinking as a fan. I never want the players and the team themselves to show up and not want to win in the immediate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Green Bay Packers went 4-3-3 their first season. That year, the Milwaukee Badgers went 2-4-3 and three teams had 2 ties. So it's not *that* unheard of.

Darrell Green Fan Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Well the Giants somehow found a way to stay ahead of us. Why are people saying Daniel Jones tripped when he obviously ran out of gas and his legs gave out? Oh yeah, 2 more turnover for Jones, Gman have to be thinking QB in the draft.

Yeah I was never big on Jones, he seemed to have a low ceiling and would never be more than an adequate starters. Now it's pretty clear he may never even get to that level.
