As someone mentioned in a long post yesterday, we can still take the division with a Buffalo win. Basically having Buffalo win today doesn’t affect us controlling our own destiny, but it does increase our chances of a wildcard spot.
Yup Buffalo.. The way I see it Buffalo is probably going to be one of the top seeds no matter what.... But NE is teetering and a threat to our spot at the bottom... So the more games they lose the better the chance of getting them out of the way and out of the playoff picture altogether.
NE has 'one and done in playoffs" vibes. The Jets are scrappy and a better team (we lost b/c of our QB). I can see the Jets winning a game in the playoffs but I can't see NE doing the same.
If NE wins only way we don't make the playoffs is if we lose a whole bunch of our next games. And if that's the case we probably wouldn't make it far anyways.
Objectively…Yes. I won’t sweat the outcome though. The team above the Jets and the one nipping at their heels are fighting it out. Either way, there’s a positive. Have to trust the Jets to get it done the next two weeks.
I live in Upstate New York and I legitimately can't stand the Bills fans that suddenly came out of the woodwork when they started winning so it's gross but I'm rooting for NE. Idc we can't beat the Pats still bad man gone, once he went to Tampa it took the sting out of em to me. Next year when Brady is a Patriot again it'll be the Player Haters Ball
I see this as a win win. I really like the jets odds against the Vikings….. their offense lives and dies by Justin Jefferson, and we have the secondary to at least annoy him.
If NE wins we have the multiple tiebreakers and are straight up ahead of buffalo. So if NE wins we are in control of our own destiny. If buffalo wins we will need help from other teams losing.
If the Pats lose, they have a 24% of making the playoffs and we have a 55% chance. If the Pats win, they have a 59% chance of making the playoffs and we have a 49% chance. I'd significantly rather be "in control of our destiny" with the Pats mostly eliminated from the hunt than be playing for the division where the WC spot is still hotly contested.
So im the only one here thinking we have time to take the division? bills lose and miami loses to san fran and we are right there, with a game against buffalo next week.
Trying to decide who to root for is maddening. Either outcome has its pros and cons. At the end of the day, the Jets control their fate at the moment and that's all I'm thinking about. If we go and win games, good things will happen for us. Simple as that. Division and Wild Card are both within reach. Up to the team to make it happen.
I’d rather not have to rely on the jets to win- obviously I want them to win and believe they can against most anybody. But the most important rule in the NFL is “any given Sunday”
Looking ahead to the rest of our schedule, (I say this with great hesitance) Go Pats, let’s even out the records and take the division. Shoot for the gold, and worst case, I feel confident we are still a Wild Card team.
Pats win and Jets win vs Bills in a couple weeks, there is a very high chance we either win the division straight up, or go in as a WC since we will have breakers over Bills.
Pats are the only one out of those two teams that could push us out of the playoffs. Bills are Probably gonna be in one way or the other. Go Bills tonight, FTP.
The division win is a nice thought, and we very well might be close. But to me it's not happening. Maybe we can beat out either the Dolphins or Bills, but we won't beat both. We need to make the fucking playoffs.
How in the fuck can you root for the pats? I know Buffalo fans can be annoying and shit but no where near pats fans. It’s always fuck the pats no matter the situation
Seems simple to me. We currently have a tiebreaker over the bills and are only a game behind. We don’t have any tiebreakers over New England. If mike white is in fact an average to good qb, we have a legitimate shot at the division.
Bills win would give more wiggle room vs a team that holds tie-breaker on Jets. Plus, I think a Bills loss is going to make them very desperate when the Jets come to town.
Definitely should be rooting for Buffalo. Realistically, we are not winning the division, and we need the Pats to keep losing due to having the tiebreaker over us, same as Cincinnati
I'm rooting for the Pats to win in one of those fluke BB games. They're not doing shit with McCorkle at QB and we still control our destiny over them. That also gives us a 1 game cushion over the Bills if we can beat them in the rematch.
Definitely rooting for the Bills to totally dominate tonight. Hopefully, in a similar fashion to last year’s wild card game. (I love seeing those stuck-up New England bastards getting a good ole fashioned ass kicking)
Fuck the Pats. Fuck the Bills. Rooting for a tie where both QBs suffer season ending injuries decide that football just isn't for them and retire after the game and have long healthy lives filled with wonder and joy!
FTP really don't want to see us miss the playoffs because they have the tie break over us. We have one more game against buffalo and Miami. pats can lose this and we can still win the division
If NE wins and we beat buffalo, buffalo is at best 11-6. 11-6 is on the table for us, and if we both have 11-6 we have the tiebreakers over buffalo. And if we beat miami they will likely be 11-6 as well, and we will have breakers over them too.
They also play the Raiders and Cardinals, the Dolphins at home, plus a week 18 game that may not have real implications for the Bills. Winning 3 of those 4 plus tonight has them at 10-6. Rather not risk it
I'm torn, I think I (personally as a Jets Fan in Western NY), I want the bills to squeak out a W. The best narrative is like 17-14 where Bill's offense doesn't look great and their D makes Mac Jones look ok but the Pats still lose.
This is how I decide every game,
Yep - always root agains the pats
My two favorite teams.
Fuck the Pats
Rule #3: ????
This is the way
This. Though, I also want to win the division...
This is gospel
This. Always.
Rule #3: root against the fins
Flip that order and I’m right there with you
Yeah, I am. I want a playoff game.
You want *playoff games
how about a tie
That would essentially take away the Pats tiebreaker without making a division win out of reach so I’d take it.
Bills for sure. The Pats have the tiebreaker on us and we want to create space between us and them (and the Chargers too).
As someone mentioned in a long post yesterday, we can still take the division with a Buffalo win. Basically having Buffalo win today doesn’t affect us controlling our own destiny, but it does increase our chances of a wildcard spot.
It is rooting against the Jets chance to jump into first place in the division this weekend.
Yup Buffalo.. The way I see it Buffalo is probably going to be one of the top seeds no matter what.... But NE is teetering and a threat to our spot at the bottom... So the more games they lose the better the chance of getting them out of the way and out of the playoff picture altogether.
Yes NE and san diego are the only threats now
NE has 'one and done in playoffs" vibes. The Jets are scrappy and a better team (we lost b/c of our QB). I can see the Jets winning a game in the playoffs but I can't see NE doing the same.
FTP4E
Either outcome works for me.
I forgot the 3rd option: Meteor
You don’t have to win the division to make the Super Bowl. Rooting for Buffalo
But ravens or fins at jets sounds a lot easier than jets at KC or BUF for wild card weekend
No doubt. We lose so many tie breakers that if New England wins there’s almost no shot we make the playoffs.
If NE wins only way we don't make the playoffs is if we lose a whole bunch of our next games. And if that's the case we probably wouldn't make it far anyways.
I’m rooting for a tie, but I’ll never be unhappy about a Patriots loss
Absolutely, if you want to get closer to winning the division do that next week. In the meantime get the Pats as far behind us as possible
Objectively…Yes. I won’t sweat the outcome though. The team above the Jets and the one nipping at their heels are fighting it out. Either way, there’s a positive. Have to trust the Jets to get it done the next two weeks.

Yeah it's pretty nauseating to see them be so good and now everyone is a diehard.
I see this as a win win. I really like the jets odds against the Vikings….. their offense lives and dies by Justin Jefferson, and we have the secondary to at least annoy him.
As optimistic as I am. If we're being realistic, we're not winning the division. Wild card is the most likely outcome
we're currently one game out of first place we have a decent shot
Division is definitely in play. Hell if we win against Buffalo and Miami (big if) we should be favored to win the division.
Ayyy chin up. Before the season I’m sure most said said “as optimistic as I am, we’re not making the playoffs. 8 wins is most likely outcome”
Yes, more space between us and NE is the most important thing for the next few weeks
If NE wins we have the multiple tiebreakers and are straight up ahead of buffalo. So if NE wins we are in control of our own destiny. If buffalo wins we will need help from other teams losing.
If the Pats lose, they have a 24% of making the playoffs and we have a 55% chance. If the Pats win, they have a 59% chance of making the playoffs and we have a 49% chance. I'd significantly rather be "in control of our destiny" with the Pats mostly eliminated from the hunt than be playing for the division where the WC spot is still hotly contested.
we're in control of our own destiny anyway since we currently have the tiebreakers vs buffalo and miami and have a game left against both of them
So im the only one here thinking we have time to take the division? bills lose and miami loses to san fran and we are right there, with a game against buffalo next week.
I say go for the division. Go big or go home.

I'll look on the bright side: One of them has to lose, which is nice. And if they tie, hey, that's not so bad for us if we can win this weekend.
I’ll take a guaranteed playoff berth over maybe making a run at the division which realistically is a very big long shot.
If the Pats lose, we have more margin for error going forward imo.
It’s just a good game. Jets still have to win!
Can we root for a tie??
Looking ahead to the rest of our schedule, (I say this with great hesitance) Go Pats, let’s even out the records and take the division. Shoot for the gold, and worst case, I feel confident we are still a Wild Card team.
Pats win and Jets win vs Bills in a couple weeks, there is a very high chance we either win the division straight up, or go in as a WC since we will have breakers over Bills.
I am rooting for them to beat the piss out of each other. You will never catch me cheering for either one of those franchises.
Spoken like a true Jets fan. I’d sooner not watch than root for one of these teams
Which one leads to the playoffs is the result i want
Pats are the only one out of those two teams that could push us out of the playoffs. Bills are Probably gonna be in one way or the other. Go Bills tonight, FTP.
for sure. especially cuz we have the breaker over buff and not over the pats.
The division win is a nice thought, and we very well might be close. But to me it's not happening. Maybe we can beat out either the Dolphins or Bills, but we won't beat both. We need to make the fucking playoffs.
i want to be in first place we need buff to LOSE TO get closer
I guess so but at the same time with a Buffalo loss we would pass them with a win. Regardless of the result this game will help us in somehow.
Yes. Grab some of your finest chicken wings and folding tables. Let’s ride.
NE winning is actually good for us. Anyways, we need to win ours.
How in the fuck can you root for the pats? I know Buffalo fans can be annoying and shit but no where near pats fans. It’s always fuck the pats no matter the situation
Not rooting for Buffalo, but I’m rooting for the patriots to lose
Yup Buffalo tonight, can't have the pats anywhere near us due to the tie breaker being in their favor
I think we will be fine. Need New England off our tails with the wins over us. Also always fuck the pats over fuck the bills.
I am rooting for Buffalo because they are playing the Patriots. That is all the reason I need.
Rule #1: Always root against the Patriots
Out of curiosity what does a tie do for us
Never will I ever root for the Pats.
Seems simple to me. We currently have a tiebreaker over the bills and are only a game behind. We don’t have any tiebreakers over New England. If mike white is in fact an average to good qb, we have a legitimate shot at the division.
We lose the tie breaker against the Pats so we really need them to lose as many as possible.
I'm not trying to stay ahead of the Pats. I'm trying to be ahead of the Bills.
Bills win would give more wiggle room vs a team that holds tie-breaker on Jets. Plus, I think a Bills loss is going to make them very desperate when the Jets come to town.
Definitely should be rooting for Buffalo. Realistically, we are not winning the division, and we need the Pats to keep losing due to having the tiebreaker over us, same as Cincinnati
If the Bills lose, the Jets have a very good shot at taking the div.

Definitely rooting for the Bills to totally dominate tonight. Hopefully, in a similar fashion to last year’s wild card game. (I love seeing those stuck-up New England bastards getting a good ole fashioned ass kicking)
It’s always fuck the pats
Rational thought is Pats need to lose to improve our playoff chances overall.
I'm rooting for a tie.
We’re rooting for a tie!
Fuck it. Go all in and take the division.
This team hasn’t been to the playoffs in 12 years you have to prioritize getting there before winning the division
According to fivethirtyeight, we currently sit at 53% to make the playoffs and 6% to win the divisions.
agreed. We can also take care of buffalo ourselves if we are legit. NE is already a lost cause, so have them eliminated
Fuck the Pats. Fuck the Bills. Rooting for a tie where both QBs suffer season ending injuries decide that football just isn't for them and retire after the game and have long healthy lives filled with wonder and joy!
fuck that don't root for injuries
Hate to say it but I think I'm rooting pats
Fuck the Pats
FTP really don't want to see us miss the playoffs because they have the tie break over us. We have one more game against buffalo and Miami. pats can lose this and we can still win the division
Root for a tie
We get another game against Buffalo, but not another game against the Pats (who have the tiebreaker).
FTP. That is my rule in life.
Simple really…..FTP
I was downvoted into oblivion in the other thread on this topic earlier this week, but I stand by what I said. It doesn't matter who wins this game.
Hoping for the tie. Therefore neither of those teams really benefit
FTP! FTP! FTP!
I just can't root for those damn pats. I just cant.
I’m cheering for the meteor.
Have to root for the Bills
Yeah playoffs are the goal. We’re not gonna win the division.
If NE wins and we beat buffalo, buffalo is at best 11-6. 11-6 is on the table for us, and if we both have 11-6 we have the tiebreakers over buffalo. And if we beat miami they will likely be 11-6 as well, and we will have breakers over them too.
I would rather increase our chances to get a playoff spot then a slightly smaller shot at winning division.
If the Bills lose to the Pats and us, they can't finish better than 11-6, and gives us the breaker over them.
Would love to see the Pats in the playoffs and have Sean green sleep on them again
I'm rooting for both teams to lose
I'm rooting for a tie.
Fuck the Patriots.
Yes, unfortunately
We are 8% to win the division, 50% to get wild card, right now.
I fucking hate NE so fucking much
We root for Buffalo and then its a must win for us vs them next week
Realistically, the pats are bound to lose a few more bc their offense is not talented.
They also play the Raiders and Cardinals, the Dolphins at home, plus a week 18 game that may not have real implications for the Bills. Winning 3 of those 4 plus tonight has them at 10-6. Rather not risk it
Buffalo but also because I have Josh Allen going
In a game like this I got my money on al-qaeda.... fuck 'em both
I mean best case scenario both teams look like shit so I guess
I don't see us beating Buffalo or Miami out of first so it's definitely bills tonight for sure. Be happy with wildcard 2 or 3.
I'm torn, I think I (personally as a Jets Fan in Western NY), I want the bills to squeak out a W. The best narrative is like 17-14 where Bill's offense doesn't look great and their D makes Mac Jones look ok but the Pats still lose.
Yes! Got to put the Pats in the rear view, and hopefully we can take care of business with the Bills and our remaining games
absolutely, undoubtedly, fuck the Pats.
If NE wins they take back the number 3 spot in the division and the vikings become that much of a steeper mountain to climb.
I would root against the pats but I hate the Bills and think that we could take the division so go pats
No.
We could win the division if we win out which is not out the question
Tie
If we were in a situation where a Pats win got us into the playoffs, I would still have huge issues actually wanting them to win.
Fuck
Yup, if we beat Buf next week we got the tie breaker. Unfortunately, the pats have the tie breaker against us
Lions fan (living in New England) here to say Go Jets! Love it when the Pats lose. Rooting for you guys to make the playoffs!
What if I told you the outcome does not depend on your advocacy?
I'd say no shit but who do I root for
Honestly if you even turn this game on you aren't a real jets fan. Card revoked
I mean, if you're a football fan you watch football. This game has implications for us too. As a fan of the sport, Josh Allen is fun to watch.
this is the weirdest gatekeeping I've ever seen
