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.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      By ok2h8pep · Posted

      Would Morgan or Beason have been HOFers' if injuries hadn't derailed their careers?  I was not a close watcher of the game when Morgan was in his prime but I thought Beason had a few seasons at close to Lukes' level of play.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Franchise QBs feast when things are rolling and the tide that raises boats when things are going sideways.  Bryce isn't that. He's a complimentary player, that's it.  When the defense and STs are on point, he plays loose and it shows.  When we are in a dog fight and things haven't gone our way, he struggles.  It's that simple. He's not a horrible QB, but he's not top tier either.  So the question begs, is this worthy of a second contract?  The answer should be no.  It definitely is my answer. Bryce will never be a QB that can produce wins largely on his arm.  That's a FRANCHISE QB, any other QB is simply a placeholder at the starter's position until that guy can be found.   At some point the excuses of lack of weapons will be a straw man.  Heck, it's nearly there now.  I mean if he doesn't look even better than last year will we blame it on the TE position?  'Well if Bryce only had a player like Kelce, Kittle or Gronk on this team...'  Are we really going to do that?

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      By MHS831 · Posted

      When I arrived at college, I was 18, not too much younger than some of these draft picks.  It was not a huge school, but there were guys on the team who were 21, 22, 23....playing ahead of me.  I was seventh on the depth chart.  Those guys have been through a few seasons, were stronger, more knowledgeable.  I was a better raw player than some of them, but those other factors matter.  As I grew stronger, more familiar with the playbook, and learned what it was like to play in college, I gradually improved and with that, I rose up the depth chart.  It took most of my freshman year for the light to come on.  Had the coach thrown me into the starting lineup day 1, I would have probably failed.    And that was college.  So I agree with you based on my experience on a much lower level.  Frankly, I think that is why so many kids drafted to fill huge gaps bust.  The teams are desperate.  Anyone who looks to fill vacancies in the starting lineup through the draft is desperate.  You draft depth to develop.  For this reason, I say, "Let Walker start for a while."  Maybe Brazzell can be our WR 4.  Throw Hunter into a rotation and ask him to do one or two things.  Freeling needs some strength and he needs to work on run blocking.
