2019, The what if season begins!!!
10/16/2019
What if ....
THE 1-4 JETS beat the UNDEFEATED PATRIOTS ?
Confidence and a 2-4 record. Right now, the AFC has lost many more games than the NFC.
That means 10 wins has a better than 95% chance of making the playoffs and 9 wins is a little better than 50/50.
So, beating the Pats means we would have 10 more games left. Win 8 of those 10 and we are virtually guaranteed a spot. Win 7 of the final 10 and we are a coin flip. Either way, it starts with beating the Pats. Unlikely, of course, BUT WHAT IF

I have no illusions of Jets making the Playoffs. I would like to see them beat the Pats and will root for Dolphins to win division ... But just out of curiosity I checked if the Jets have been mathematically eliminated yet. They are not. If they win final 6, finish 9-7, they have a little better than 50/50 shot of getting a playoff spot. And if that happens, I wouldn't get to watch the playoff game as I will be snow skiing in Miami (same likelihood)

This week’s “What if” looks at what could’ve been. What if the Dolphins and the Patriots both lost yesterday instead of pulling it out at the last second ?
Jets would have been tied for first place in AFC east.
Silver lining, Jets are just one game out of first. What if...to be continued.
This year the WHAT IF starts early.
What if we make the playoffs? Playoffs? Yes the playoffs! That is what every season is about.
Jets win against Denver puts us right back in the middle of the pack and just one game behind Miami and the Patriots. The talent is there.
That is the difference between this team and Jets teams of the past. We have talent at offense and The defense looks good.
Maybe...just maybe....our offense found the right mix....a good run game AND the long ball threat. Good running makes the long ball threat possible and visa versa.
One more win and we are back at 500. Remember we need 10 wins. If we beat the colts, we are 3-3 and have ten games remaining.... needing to win 7 of those ten games. The Patriots are not a lock. So keep the faith...until Sunday.
