It's another completely fallacious narrative around here, that a team losing badly one week actually makes them MORE dangerous the next week rather than just indicating that they're not good.
The media does such a great job of selling narratives about who can and can't beat whom that it starts to feel like reality. I mean sure, I truly believe that the Chiefs would beat the Jets 99 times out of 100. But the vast majority of games really can go either way.
Back when we started 3-0 I kinda figured we'd go 1-1 against the Raiders and Titans on the road and 1-1 against the Chiefs and Pats at home, with a free Jets win. Turns out the Jets win wasn't so easy but this is still pretty in line with where I expected the team to be. They just need to go beat the Pats.
5 minutes left, 30 yards to go and Chiefs with all 3 timeouts. There's no situation where they would have had fewer than 2 minutes. Not to play the what-if game, but I just disagree with the assessment that that was the win right there.
Outgained 466-206. Honestly we could run right over the Jets and beat the Pats and I still won't feel like this is a team that will get out of the 1st round of the playoffs.
These Jets are without a doubt the worst team I've ever watched. Weird things happen and they'll probably back their way into a win or two but holy hell.
