If last night was a regular season game

[jpo287]

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.

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

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.........

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.

There's no way of knowing. There was no game planning for last nights PRE-SEASON game. And if there was it was very minimal.

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

Also i would like to see how Clausen does with a center that can comfortably get him the ball. I feel he gets short changed by having Bernadeau centering the ball to him.

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.

Revis not playing had/has nothing to do with the fact that it's the preseason - it has to do with the fact that he wants a new contract. If last night were a regular season game, he STILL would not have been on the field.
