Glazer: Jets getting turned down for GM job, begging them them reconsider

[nyjunc]

They have to deal with Bal. 1 team in the division has very little to do with earning a bye. You know division opponents only play each other 2 times a season right? The reason Pitt got a bye was because they won 12 games. They won 12 games in a season where the other division opponent (Ravens) won 12 games as well. They split with the Ravens and still won 12 games. The Ravens swept the Steelers in 2011 and Pitt still won 12 games. The Jets split with NE and only won 9 games in 2009. The Jets spit with NE and only won 11 games in 2010. The Jets are not a good enough team to win 12 games in a season. If they were, they would challenge NE for the division title and have a good shot at a bye.

Baltimore is not NE, Bal does not win 12-13-14 games every year. NE has everything to do w/ not earning a bye, you know you are fighting for 2nd place w/ NE. They can be beat one game whether in the reg or postseason but over 16 games no team is better than NE.

That has only been the case in 2 out of the last 4 seasons. Indy was the #1 seed in 2009 and Denver was the #1 seed this past year. The Jets have not challenged NE for the division because they don't have respectable regular season records. They won 11 games once in 4 seasons. That is not good enough to compete with NE. Bal and Pitt both won 12 games in 2010 and 2011. That would have been enough to compete with NE for a division title in 2009 and 2012. If the Jets were winning 12 games each year and NE was still winning 13 / 14, then you would have a point. But the Jets have been winning 9, 11 8, and 6 games a year. Maybe if the Jets were in the AFC West prior to Peyton coming to town, that might have been good enough for a division title.

NE would win any division, they are a great reg season team. That is an issue other teams don't have to deal w/(Buf and Miami would if they ever competed for postseason).

They'd probably get whooped by San Fran in the NFC West. There are some impressive defenses in that division...which, oh by the way, New England had a 1-3 record against this regular season.

11, 9, 12, 12, and 10 is nothing to sneeze at. Again, if the Jets are elite, they should be able to win the AFC East.

it's a different midset when you are actually in the division. They lost very close games in all 3 of those games.

Again, NE won just 10 games in 2009 and 12 games this year. They win around 5 games every year just from the poor AFCE competition. If NE had to play 6 games against Bal, Pitt and Cincy, you think they could still win 5 out of 6? I think not. If the Jets were of the caliber that Pitt or Bal was, NE wouldn't be winning the AFCE every year.

they had nothing to play for in week 17 in 2009, if they did they win 11 games.

NE would win at least 4 of 6 against Pit, Bal and Cincy- at least. The jets were the caliber of Bal and itt in 2009 & 2010 and we split w/ NE.

Bal had nothing to play for in week 17 this year, or else they would have won 11 games. Bal and Pitt having down years at 9-7 in 2009 doesn't mean the Jets are in their league. Bal and Pitt went 12-4 the next two years after that while the Jets won 11 and 8 games. I'm not sure why you can't understand that the reason NE wins the AFCE is because there is no one else in the division to compete with them. If the Jets could win 12 games like the Raven and Steelers, they would be competing for division titles just like the Ravens and Steelers compete with each other.

Bal should have beaten NE (in NE) in the AFCC game last year, and they beat them this year twice. That is 1-2 record against Bal in the last 3 games. NE is 1-1 against Pitt the last 4 years. That makes NE a total of 2-3 in the last 5 games against Pitt and Bal.
