Default Who else dislikes Sunday night football followed by a road Thursday game?

I don't know, I never really liked the Thursday game to begin with but coming off Sunday night heading west it seems like the perfect trap game. I guess all we can do is wait and see.

yup. Count me as one of those who are worried. 2008. Jets are 8-3. People talking Jets-Giants super bowl. 5 games left against Broncos, 49ers, Bills, Seahawks and Phins. I remember thinking those were 5 easy games and Jets would have 13 wins for 1st time in franchise history.

Then they played Denver. And Cutler had a field day. Now I know Cutler is not there anymore, but that game was home, and this time, the Jets have to travel to Denver, a place they never play well. Remember last year? Anyone think the Jets could lose that Denver game? If not for a PI on 4th down, we would have.

yes, I am very nervous about that game, but let's get through the Pats 1st!

Can't really count any game as an automatic win in this league so I certainly think we could drop an away game on short rest vs a mobile QB on full rest.

Normally I would agree with you. However, Denver has a road game prior to the Thursday night game. So they have to travel too.

I looked at that and saw that also. I think the Jets can make that adjustment better then Tim Tebow. I think it is less of an issue for us then Denver.

It's just stupid how the NFL would schedule a team (Any team) to play Sunday night, then fly across the country for a game only 4 days later.

When we're playing well, I like to play often. I don't like the bye weeks or the Thurs games, having to wait another week and a half for the next game. Tebo is mobile, but he hasn't had Maybin chasing him yet. LOL
