If last night was a regular season game

who would have won? If Smith, Stewart and Otah had started with Munnerlyn returning punts in place of Edwards, who do you think would have won. In other words, look at the first quarter, take away the fumbles and add Smith, Stewart and Otah into the offense and how do you think the game would have faired?.

Does Smith catch some of those "drops" and would the Jets have scored without the fumbles?

Looking at it like that, does last night still look so bad? After all, some "experts" are picking the Jets to go to the SB.

Just asking

I thought the same thing last night. Personally, IDK. QB play was "eh". Run game was great (as usual). Defense played well, overall. Special teams were...well, special teams in Carolina. Granted, I thought they were a little better (but not much) last night. It's iffy. But there is a possibility, if only because the defense did such a good job.

It's impossible to tell as it would completely change the dynamic of the game. Yeah we'd have Smitty back, but they'd have Revis too.

The Jets aren't as good as advertised. Big market, some talented players and an upcoming QB is a perfect formula for a lot of hype. They won't make it to the suberbowl.

why would anyone spend time speculating about the outcome of a practice game? Baffles my mind.........

If Revis was on the field then it wouldnt have mattered f Steve Smith had played or not.

Doesn't mean we couldn't have won. We still ran the ball well w/ D-will, and add Stewart to that mix. And Shanchise would have thrown a few picks had he played the entire game. 5-10 12 yards.

It was obvious that we didn't have anything to counteract the blitz the last 2 weeks. But I believe if we had Smitty, Stewart and Otah back that we could have used them(smitty especially) to counter that and make them pay. After getting burned a couple of times they would have backed off on the blitzing. Since we didn't have those guys we are vulnerable to the rush because other teams feel they can cover any of our rec 1 on 1.

IMHO

If it was all starters vs. starters, the Jets likely would have won all things considered. Especially if you give them Revis back. He automatically shuts down one side of the passing game and considering both of our quarterbacks just locked onto targets all night, it would have been even more forced turnovers via the passing game.

The answer is obvious: the Panthers would've won.

I would have liked to think so, but I'm not sure. The game would have been different but I feel that the Jets are a little ahead of us at this point. Special teams would have cost us the game. That's the part of this team that EVERYONE should be worried about. The offense will straighten itself out in time.

I can see speculation on Baltimore or Pittsburgh who we will actually pllay this year in the regular season but not the Jets who we wouldn't see unless it is in the post season. Even then we won't be the same team we are now in the 10 game of the year for example. So this kind of speculation is actually useless. Just like speculating on whether Smith would beat Revis or the other way around. I don't know if Revis will even play this year. Since he isn't getting paid what he wants it will be up to him to back down if he is smart.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
