Jets shouldn’t be worried, he’s always in game shape by week 4 or 5 of the season....

Bell is finished. He'll never do anything relevant in the NFL again. He's going from a top 5 (possibly just #1 overall) OL where he played with a HOF receiver, HOF QB, and potential other HOF WR, to a shitty Jets team with a terrible OL, a appears to be bust QB, etc.

It was a stupid signing then, it's a stupid signing now.

sorry not trying to be gruff, i definitely came off that way, wasnt intended or directed towards you.. I guess its just my point that its their fault. Lottery winners as well. No one would whine for me if my 100k job and i had no money.:suds:but like you said we'll leave it there

No sweat. I've had this debate many many times, even with a couple of ex ball players that have done very well financially...the logical side of the debate (what you are bringing to the table) was the same argument I was bringing to the table and at the end of the day people that come into a lot of money (lottery, inheritance, showbiz, pro sports, etc. ) do not always think logically.

My brother-in law is probably a millionaire or pretty close...asset wise I know he is, but he earned it over a long period of time. The only other millionaire I can say I truly know a little bit was a perfect example of someone that became an instant millionaire (grandpa's TX oil money)...and lost it.

Where I agree 100% with you is I don't have any sympathy or even empathy towards these people that have it and lose it. I do better understand how it happens though.

But...like Frank Sinatra said in song....Bell will be able to say...."I Did It My Way!!!!" LOL

It was said very early on in the Bell drama in the Steeler folder by many...he would end up with a non-playoff team. The reality is...the NYJ were the only team willing to fork over anything close to the money he got.

You mean this season coming up?

I took a quick scan of the schedule and I'm struggling to come up with even 8 Ws much less 9 and imo 9-7 is not making the playoffs in a AFC. Where are the Ws coming from?

Bills
Giants
Oakland
Washington
Miami
Bengals

Those are 6 lock wins to me. Now on to the maybe wins

Browns
Jags
Road games in Miami and Buffalo

Win 3 of the 4 maybe wins and they're at 9-7

Jets over Bengals is NOT a "lock". Same with Washington.

Facts but these are locks IMO. I could be wrong but I was showing ATL96 where I see 9 possible wins.

Who is the Skins QB BTW? This is a serious question. They're going with Haskins from day 1?

@ CIN and @ WAS are locks? I don't see the Jets sweeping anybody, at best they split with BUF and MIA and get swept by NE so 2-4 in DIV.

Non div...

NFCE...NYG, maybe WAS...but honestly I can see them going 2-2 at best

AFCN...I think they can get CLE on that MNF game, but I still don't see anymore than 1-3 unless Tomlin dials up another stinker.

Jags and Raiders, 1-1

I'm seeing like 6 or 7 wins.

I mean 9 wins is their ceiling to me. I get why you say 6 or 7 wins because that's what most people think but shit happens.

9 wins is if they get a few breaks here and there.
