Where have you been all week? Most think even if we win the next two, Miami is going to knock us out in week 17. Of course, most don't think we are winning the next two. Also, no one wants to see the playoffs and be one and done. Sure, people are really looking hard and Favre right now and going: "Look, we need you to be you, and single handidly carry this team (along with a dose of TJ and Leon) not just to the playoffs, but to playoff wins. I think most of us realize at this point that the defense just isn't good enough to do that: So it will have to Favre and that Running game that gets the jets ANYWHERE. Can they do it? Yeah, anything's possible. Favre just needs to play out of his mind for a long stretch like he did last season when they were what, 8-1? (favre was just incredible the firest half the season last year, and still pretty dman good in the second hlaf).
I don't know about the Miami part because winning against Buffalo, and doing so in a fashion that hopefully suggests they have begun to solve their problems, is the main thing. But long term your second paragraph I think represents the view of most Jet fans, in that witout necessarily looking ahead to the playoffs, we can see the team right now as one that would not inspire confidence as a playoff team. Of course that lack of confidence also underscores what is making this team so shakey in the regular season, and is the very same thing that makes even the Buffalo game a concern. As for the can they do it part, they have to do it one game at a time.
Most "NFL experts" (talking heads on sports TV) have said that they expect the divion title to come down to the last day, and for the Jets to beat the 'Fins at home. And yeah, most darksiders expect the Jets to lose that game! But I hope most Jets fans believe in the team enough that they'll win... I think the Jets will turn it around.
