All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Re: this guy's power rankings are ******ed... debate?
Jets D gave up 25 points a game last year - he compares them to the '01 Ravens D even though it was the 2000 Ravens D that was all-time great - that '00 Ravens D gave up something like 10 points per game. Is their ravamped secondary going to change their D by 15 points per game? No.
Re: this guy's power rankings are ******ed... debate?
To his credit he did say that the differences are so minute that if you were to change the order from 2nd to 4th in the division he would not have a problem. That's how I see it to.
Re: this guy's power rankings are ******ed... debate?
The Jets won 4 games last year and got blown out by Buffalo, twice. The only place significantly upgraded was at CB and WR even though they got gashed on the ground and gave up 47 sacks, 8th worst in the league. It might be worth noting that Cromartie had zero passes defensed in the second half of last season playing next to Patrick Peterson. Lots of full seasons and passing the age of 30 might have something to do with that.

Also, Chan Gailey's offense has a terrible record against Rex Ryan's defenses. Fred Jackson(in his prime) > Chris Ivory and CJ Spiller >>> Bilal Powell
and Ryan Fitzpatrick > Geno Smith.
Re: this guy's power rankings are ******ed... debate?
At any rate, I'd say that the Bills, Dolphins, and Jets all significantly got better this offseason, while the Patriots got worse. And Brady will be suspended at the beginning of the year.
The thing about the Jets is that, while their defense should be good after shoring up their secondary, they seem to be built around a ground-and-pound type of offense because they don't really have a QB either. But their stable of running backs aren't nearly as good as the Bills'.
I also feel that Tannehill is overrated in his potential at this point.
I still think that the order in the division is the same as last year: Patriots, Bills, Dolphins, Jets.
