That trades kirk? I love Kirk. He’s not the problem. But there are just so many holes. The window closed after 2017 and we’ve been playing in purgatory since then. Competitive but not seriously so.

Sigh. The jets. I keep saying the jets. You going to be the GM that gives up first and second round picks for two old QBs, and pisses off Rodgers after trading for him?

Incredible how they only lost by one score. 4 turnovers with zero run game, zero run defense and they still only lost by 6.

The offense is broken since there is no run game, Kirk isn't going to make it through the full year taking this many hits. The defense doesn't have the personnel, I think Flores is doing a decent job but they simply don't have the front seven to get it done... comes from years of neglecting DTs/DEs/OLBs/ILBs. 

I still feel confident about my 8-9 projection, they're still going to win a bunch of one score games like last year. This isn't a bad enough team to win only 5 or 6 games.

Sorry I told you I’ve been drinking! 
 

If I’m a jets fan, I know we aren’t going anywhere with Wilson as the qb (for this season anyway). How big is a window in the nfl?

I agreed with everything except the last few lines. They can’t run a lick and can’t protect the QB. Recipe for disaster, especially considering the difficult schedule and poor defense. I think with better personnel, Flores would be really good. It was maddening last year watching the defense sit back and never pressure. We just don’t have the personnel. Also doesn’t help when the opponent has a 2-1 time of possession advantage

That time of possession is largely on the defense not stopping them. Not totally, but a lot. 

I hope Davenport eventually plays and is good

Despite this, they've only lost one score games and the same thing happened last year with a much worse DC and we still consistently won games. Trust me, they're going to rip off a bunch of ugly one score games and it's gonna frustrate us (or mainly you lol).

Then again, if Kirk does get hurt then we are winning 4 or 5 games this year. I didn't quite think about that scenario through.

Hey I want them to win. I’m not a big “tank guy”. The schedule is just tough.
