New York Jets 2006 Schedule

The New York Jets were 4-12 last season. Their four wins came against the Miami Dolphins, Tampa Bay Bucs, Oakland Raiders and Buffalo Bills. I wouldn't say that any one of their four wins were impressive performances. Could this season be any better

   The New York Jets were 4-12 last season. Their four wins came against the Miami Dolphins, Tampa Bay Bucs, Oakland Raiders and Buffalo Bills. I wouldn't say that any one of their four wins were impressive performances. Could this season be any better for the disappointing New York Jets? What hope do Jets fans have? The Jets seem to be a team of players that just can't get the job done. Now, they have a new coach. Will anything change for the better or will this be another year they struggle, but this time under a "new" system?

Despite losing 12 games, the Jets didn’t lose many players. In the offseason, they lose Kevin Mawae to Tennessee, Jason Fabini to Dallas, John Abraham to Atlanta (via a trade) and Oliver Celestin to Seattle. You would think that a team that only won 4 games would shed some more weight. Sure, some other players left, but those where the more mentionable players.

To try and improve, the Jets went out and picked up some new players. Will these guys contribute enough to get the Jets winning again? The Jets picked up Anthony Clement, Brad Kassell, Andre Dyson, Tim Dwight, Trey Teague, Matt Chatham, Tim Dwight, Kimo von Oelhoffen and Patrick Ramsey. Adding Ramsey will help when and if Chad Pennington gets hurt again, which seems to be very likely.

It's very hard seeing this Jets team win more than 4-6 games. The schedule is fairly competitive and the Jets just aren't that solid. They really don't get any breaks. Any game that is viewed as potentially soft is followed up by one that's probably not winnable for this team. Here's the breakdown of the 2006 season.

Week 1: @ Tennessee Titans
Week 2: New England Patriots
Week 3: @ Buffalo Bills
Week 4: Indianapolis Colts
Week 5: @ Jacksonville Jaguars
Week 6: Miami Dolphins
Week 7: Detroit Lions
Week 8: @ Cleveland Browns
Week 9: Bye
Week 10: @ New England
Week 11: Chicago Bears
Week 12: Houston Texans
Week 13: @ Green Bay Packers
Week 14: Buffalo Bills
Week 15: @ Minnesota Vikings
Week 16: @ Miami Dolphins
Week 17: Oakland Raiders

It's conceivable that this Jets team will be 0-6 or 1-6 going into week 7 against the Lions. They will most likely lose in weeks 2,4,5 and 6 for sure. Week 1 against in Tennessee is no gimme and neither is week 3 in Buffalo. It might be too much for the Jets to win both on the road with all the other tough games surrounding these dates.
