Absolutely would love to see them start hot and then go on a losing streak...the average plays per game is roughly 60 for a team in NFL last season (highest was near 69 and low was 57).

Using 60 a game... x17 games that is roughly 1,020 snaps. So roughly speaking Rodgers could in likelihood hit 65% mark around the 11th game. With a bye week 7, that's week 12 or so.

Would love to see them at like 6-5 or so at that point. Too close for them to sit especially with games against Giants, Raiders, Texans and Falcons still left on their schedule you gotta think they'd feel they could win.

My prediction of their year if they stay healthy is:

Bills -
@Cowboys -
Patriots -
Chiefs -
@ Broncos -
Eagles -

BYE - I see 2 Losses minimum (Chiefs and either Eagles or Bills) and 2 wins minimum (Broncos and Patriots personally)...I think at best they're 4-2 with strong likelihood of 3-3.

@Giants
Chargers
@Raiders
@Bills
Texans - 11th game where he may hit the 65%....I bet they're easily still in contention and somewhere in that 5-5 to 7-3 record heading into it.
@Dolphins
Commanders
@Browns
@Patriots

This stretch has 6 away games and only 3 home...that alone is concerning if you were a Jets fan...and don't overlook the fact in the coldest month they will play outside games in New York, Washington, Cleveland and New England....

In this 9 game stretch I see 3 for sure wins in Raiders, Texans and Commanders....at least a couple losses between @ Bills and @ Dolphins and @ Giants....I see 5 or 6 wins as their maximum wins. That would place them IMO as a 10 win team....could be in or could not be depending.
Of the 15 games you have listed + 2 (looks like a Dolphins & Atlanta game are missing. IMO 9 wins 3 losses and 5 toss-ups including the 1st 2 weeks. I expect them to lose more than they win in the toss-up games. IMO those 1st 2 weeks will be crucial for that team.

Those last two games on the Jets schedule, @Cleveland and @New England, are likely to be cold weather games in outdoor stadiums. Historically, and especially the last two seasons, AR has not been at his best in those types of games. If it all comes down to that for the Jets, they had better play great defense.

"Then I gave him a line that's un-come-back-with-able"

Rodgers hasn't lost his moxy. Seems like the first guy he sought out after the TD wasn't his teammate, it was Giants Jihad Ward, so he could deliver his "Don't poke the bear Bro, I never heard of you, Bro"

Most likely he thought that one up a long time ago and has just been waiting for a chance to use it because he knows the media would love it. Rodgers' bark is worse than his bite. His arm can't consistently back up his mouth anymore.

I guess we will see, but I would disagree with this. Sure, Rodgers 2022 wasn't his best season, but he wasn't playing 100% healthy and had about as green of a WR room as you will find. I was ready to move on from the "off the field Rodgers", but I will never question what the guy did or can do on the field.

Love's biggest challenge this season, he is taking over at a time when that Receiver room (WR's and TE's), is even greener than last year.

I just have one question to ask. Who is Rodgers, and why should we care?

To be honest, we need to get past this, and forget all the drama that surrounded him/it. Nobody gives a big rat's *** what the guy does, except Jets fans.
Correct. He is a NY Jet now. Think of how the Colts had to part with Peyton or the Pats with Brady. The changing of the guard is a natural process.

Might as well play Powerball lotto.
Their season starts off tough. Especially knowing how Rodgers sometimes starts slow. They’ve got to show up big time very early.
Buffalo
@dallas
NE
K.C.
@Denver
Philly

That’s not a schedule I’d want Jordan to face to open his career. The Jets will get tested early and often and if they survive that? we’ll have a better indicator of who they are

I fear if the Jets are 1-8 or in that area they will bench AR8 to save the draft pick. 5-6/4-7 and going 0-6 rest of the way is about the best we can hope for as far as the draft pick is concerned. Jets need to feel they are still in it weeks 12/13 to get Rodgers into the 65% snap count area.
For sure. Rodgers would be all for it too, just to stick it to GB.

If my math is correct we ideally want NY in that 7-10, 8-9 or 9-8 area where they are not eliminated from postseason until well after week 11-12 (sufficient to lock a Day1). Then they miss the playoffs similar to us last season and we’re picking in the early-mid Day1 range (11-18th overall). We could very well have TWO top 20 selections if we finish 8-9 wins and that’s pretty unusual for a Packer fan.

For me netting anything inside a 20 overall draft pick is a brilliant haul for Gutey. Anywhere from Postseason “outside looking in” with 3 weeks to go or a 7th seed that gets eliminated Wildcard weekend.

A more realistic, best case scenario:

Rodgers + 2023 #15, #170

for a
2023 #13
2023 #42
2023 #207
2024 #15 (bonus)

I also like the idea of using that bonus selection and moving around the board like we did in 2018, where we gave up a late 3rd rounder but netted J’aire and a future Day1 with a different trade partner.

That way we’re still hauling 2 Day 1’s but maybe moving backwards 3-4 slots or trading away a 2024, 3rd or 4th Rounder to get an extra Day 1 selection in 2025. We’d pick in Round1 multiple times in consecutive drafts to stagger talent and load Love with firepower and 5th year options. There’s always really good players in that top 18-22 area if you do your homework and we’ve been pretty successful there. I like staggering contracts also so we don’t have a mass exodus 1 year

If we had that schedule we may be 1-5. The adversity is what the Jets will need in the first 6. Needless to say they will get national audience games. So Rodgers will get the stage he wants.

I can see a scenario where the Jets are 1-5 going into their final game of October against the Giants.

And unlike our division in which you can comeback and still win it with 9-8 or 10-7 the AFC East is more difficult.
Yup, that is probably the toughest division in the NFL right now. Glad the Packers played all those teams last season and play against the AFC West this year and the AFC South next season.

That’s one thing that’s being underemphasized in the media. I’ve seen only 1 or 2 references to the strength of schedule (SOS)
Just from the eye test the Packers have one of the top 10 easiest schedules league-wide. Conversely, The Jets have one of the top 10 most difficult schedules. That in itself can swing a Win-Loss record by several games regardless of injuries and other factors. The Jets start with a brutal schedule. If NY comes out 5-1 or 4-2 then watch out because they mean business.

Imo. Our schedule is a little tougher after the bye week in that week 10 range
@Steelers, Chargers, @Lions, KC, @Giants

Really, when you look closely the 3 toughest opponents are probably the Chiefs, Chargers, and Giants. Not that it would happen but all the other opponents are beatable. Bucs have no Brady. The Vikings and Lions are good but not invincible. The Steelers are well coached but not superior. There are no Bills, Eagles, Jets, Cowboys, Bengals, Fins, Jets, Niners, Titans, or Ravens on the schedule.

Yes I agree. I also think the Steelers could be another team that poses problems. We go to their house and I suspect Pickett is slightly better in his second season. They barely missed playoffs by a 9-8 tie breaker over Miami and I expect them to win 10 games. Yet I agree that if our Defense shows up to the level at the resources we’ve spent on them we’d be a postseason team with this pedestrian schedule.

I know we aren't supposed to be thinking about the Jets and their QB, but was that a Freudian slip with you mentioning the Jets twice?
