    Two Weeks Ago This Was a 3-6 Win Team

    Now it's a legit #1 draft pick contender. Hopefully the Jets can eak out a win or two this year to help us.

    I feel bad for Kyle Williams.

    The tank is on and I love it. Pick your QB and build around him with all those draft picks. 6-9 wins again would be a disaster. The future could be bright.

    I now wonder how much effort any veterans signed beyond this season are going to display this year. Might as well trade Shady to a contender and see if we can get a 2nd.

    No one will get past the Jets or the ever tanking Browns. Pray we don't try to, it will not end well.

    The tank may be on, but I am in no way shape or form betting against this team even finding a way to screw that up by winning six or seven games and then finding a way to screw away its accumulated draft picks.

    If Nathan plays, we win at least 4 and if he clicks maybe 6. So there's no way out.

    Re: Two Weeks Ago This Was a 3-6 Win Team

    What's really different about this team today than a month ago? A downgrade at cornerback?

    Why all of sudden does everyone think we're tanking? This was a 5 or 6 win team then, and it's a 5 or 6 win team now.

    You really think our talent is this bad and we're not overreacting a bit ?

    I think we win the home opener and then lose out

    Carolina, Tampa, Cincinnati, New Orleans are all toss-ups where I would of been leaning more towards a victory with Watkins. All of those games presented options where we could of won the WR v. DB battle. That's not to say we can't win it now, I just don't feel nearly as confident with our current WR grouping.

    Zay Jones has a huge upside.

    I am eager to see Peterman and him work together on Saturday.

    I have been in all honesty pretty optimistic and confident about the upcoming season, but the events of the last couple of weeks have tempered that a bit.

    Re: Two Weeks Ago This Was a 3-6 Win Team

    I don't see how anyone was optimistic about this teams chances with that QB and that schedule. This was a 4 win team when the opponents for this season were released and it's still a 4 win team now.

    I also don't understand how a team who is run oriented and a bottom feeder passing wise losing a receiver who doesn't even play all 16 weeks anyway makes any difference. This team was 32nd in attempts last year and 30th in yardage. How will they ever replace his 28 catches?!? The funny part, Marquise Goodwin actually had more production last year than Watkins. Charles Clay will still lead the team in catches and McCoy will get about 50 catches out of the backfield.

    Too many people are hung up on the "potential" Watkins could have not what he actually has accomplished. Just because you have this "potential" people think you have doesn't mean you actually do nor does it mean you'll ever reach it.
