I have been called out for being concerned regular season success does not guarantee playoff success based on the past 2 playoff 'debacles'. I know I am not the only one who is thinking this way. The playoffs is a brand new season. The jets have ben exceptional this year but still have weaknesses that can be exploited . I think this is a very reasonable reason to be concerned considering the playoffs is a new season, a war of attrition and they have 'crashed and burned the past two playoff seasons.

I hope to get serious responses but we will see.
Thanks,

No.

There's plenty of examples of teams that supposedly were playoff chokers that broke through. Washington, for example, couldn't get past Pittsburgh for years until they did. Florida struggled.

Also there's a difference between being cautious about their chances and outright predicting failure.

Ok course it has. I have zero confidence in a team that remains essentially unchanged. Why would anyone expect success this year.

I suspect with the right opponent they can advance a round but I still believe there are 4 or 5 teams that will take them fairly easily.

Sure hope to be proven wrong.

I suppose so. Its like if a poster always predicts doom for the jets then you start looking at his threads as simply click bait trolling...

Finally, someone on my page. I sense your hope but understand your fear. I hope we truly are both wrong and that adding Tanev and Schen while losing Schmidt and Dillon help plus Perfetti's emergence continues. I also am hoping Tafolli and Monoghan were a large part of last year's issue!

I appreciate the measured response and I am not predicting failure. I am hoping they have learned to win by losing ( like the leafs have).
It will be interesting!
Let's break the whiteout jinx winless woes!!

My confidence changes almost daily or after each game... :help:

During points of the season I could say even if the Jets went 82-0 , I wouldn't care, because until they did something in the playoffs, what they did in the regular season means nothing. And I'm not at all basing that on the past two years as a measure of what the Jets will do this year, but more that the playoffs are just a different animal. Some teams are built for the regular season, some teams are built for the playoffs. Bowing out early the last 2 years does not mean it will happen again.

After watching them all season I would say confidence is high, but then they lose to teams they should never lose to, and then they start experiencing key injuries, but then they beat Wash with those players out, and now they might get caught by Dallas and have to play Colorado in the 1st round. and on and on it ( confidence ) goes up and down.

I have hopes that they can do something this playoffs, and I'll be there cheering them on ( unless Helly gets hurt between now and then... if that happens, it's over before it starts ).

I think it is always there for any team and any sports.

Bulls until they beat the Pistons
Oilers until they beat the Islanders

Kings until they won the cup
or
Colorado with that stack team with Rey Bourque

Now the Oilers with McDavid and Drai....

The list goes on.

Mind you Jets don't have the legendary players that teams i mentioned above. But
still, until they win it. There will always be doubt.


Hoping this is the season to remember for our JETS

GO JETS GO

Last year broke me a little bit. To go from being the best defensive team in the league to letting in 5 goals every game. The thing that gives me confidence this year is the jets are scoring more. Deadly PP. Who knows what happens but I think the odds of flaming out in 5 games are very low.

It was surreal to watch . They way Colorado just took over the series and the Jets had no answer despite owning them in the regular season. I got major playoff post traumatic stress disorder from it!

I'd be curious to see this poll:

1. I see myself as a generally optimistic person and yes
2. I see myself as a generally pessimistic person and yes
3. I see myself as a generally optimistic person and no
