Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Tenders. Next up on the Contenders or Pretenders Week NFL
sixth edition, a team that has been in headlines all
week fire their head coach, promoted their defensive coordinator to
intern head coach or interim head coach, demoted Nathaniel Hackett,

(00:21):
and we're still talking about potentially them being a contender
in the NFL. And that is one only the New
York Football Jets. Right now, the Jets are saying, you
got two to three on this season with a date
on Monday with the Buffalo Bills. If Slash win, the
New York Jets win this game on my Football versus

(00:41):
the Buffalo Bills, they will be sitting a top of
the AFC East. Like I said earlier, the Jets did
fire their head coach this week in Robert Sala and
demoted Nathaniel Hackett from offensive coordinator. Now, the Jets do
have back to back wins in this season over the
Titans and Pages come win two and Week three, but

(01:01):
since then they have lost two games, like in a
row to the Broncos in a rainy, stormy day and
then they got beat down by the Minnesota Vikings, both
pretty good teams. Let's let's just be honest, but the
Jets offense right now is drank twenty eighth. Twenty eighth
average is eighteen points per game and just two hundred
and eighty six yards per game respectively. The defense, however,

(01:25):
been holding down the ship. The defense is dranked second
in the in the in the NFL gaming go twenty
two points per game with two hundred and forty three
yards respectively. So New York Football Jets guys, are they
contenders or are they pretenders? The correct answer that we're

(01:47):
gonna go with is contenders. They are one hundred and
fifty seven percent contenders. Why because they got that bad,
bad man Aaron Rodgers. Now they gone through a little
controversy this week. I would have waited till bye week
to fire Robert Sala or maybe just demote Nahan. You'll

(02:08):
hock and see and see how he went. But it is,
it is. It is what it is. But if they
beat the Buffalo Bills on Monday, they're sitting on top
of the AC East, a depleted AC East. The Buffalo
Bills going through their injury phase right now. Josh Allen,
with a young offensive line, with a young we seen

(02:30):
and Core can only do so much now come last
half of the year, I expect the Buffalo Bills to
be a hell of a lot better and still win
the East. But the Dolphins they're done. The Patriots, they're done.
But if the Jets do beat the Bills on Bills
on Monday, they had the Steelers Patriots and like in

(02:51):
Texans come homing up, they could potentially win four games
in like in in a row. And if they get
hot and stay hot, anything is possible with Aaron Rodgers,
one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. So, guys,
I think the Jets are contenders. I think there are
many contenders because the AFC East is so weak. I'm

(03:13):
going to pull a logic out of Kevin Cummings chat
here earlier, Kevin said that the Washington Commanders are contenders
because they're going to make the playoffs. I don't care
if they're losing, I don't care or whatever they're they're
they're gonna win the East and they're gonna be a
playoff bound team. And I think the Jets could potentially
pull something out of their aeases and win the AC East.

(03:37):
So guys, let me know when the coms below are
the Jets cut tenders or pretenders. Matt Henry says j
E t es contenders, contenders, contenders, Matt is saying contenders.
Kevin says the Jets are a joke. John says that
Jets are pretenders. John is saying that their contender is

(04:02):
still a top defense and an offense once they start
to click. This is the problem that I have with
the Jets though, right they're all pro best receiver in
the NFL. Garrett Wilson, he had all the potential in
the world. This season. We thought he was gonna take

(04:24):
off and go to the moving baby. But he is digressed.
He has diagressed. Garrett Wilson has definitely taken some steps,
some steps back. Now, if Garrett wasn't just starts to
get on the same page with Aaron Rodgers and they
start smoking the Dubies again by being man boom, it
could it could start to click. They could start to

(04:45):
click and have a great season. So I think they're contenders,
Kevin says. Historically speaking, the teams who fire their head
coach usually win the game. After there we go all done,
all right, buddy, I love you. Ryan says, so far,
it's it's it's been pretender heavy. So I'll add to

(05:09):
that Pilot say the Jets are pretenders. And Kevin says,
historically speaking, the team that says at once they fired
the head coach the week after they normally win that game. Also,
Kevin and Ryan historically speaking, usually teams fire their head

(05:30):
coach on bye weeks, not in the middle of the week,
not a Wednesday. So we'll talk about that. Kevin says
Jets are more overrated than the Seahawks. Overhyped for sure,
one percent there that they are overhyped. People have them
going to the playoffs and super Bowl. I still think
they're contenders. John says it's it's it though they go

(05:54):
to the rest of the season on the l on
the l wagon, lose the rest season. Okay, damn this week.
They have been a complete turmoil since the offseason. Not wrong,
ever since Aaron Rodgers went to Egypt during mandatory training camp.
I kind of felt that just want to have a

(06:15):
bad season now. I did say that the just are
going to finish seven to ten again this season like
the third season and like like in a row. I
did say the Jets, we're going to have a bad season,
But that doesn't mean they're gonna be a winning team.
So even though I say the contenders, I'm taking a
playbook out of Kevin. I think they're a playoff team.

(06:36):
I think they could potentially could win the AFC still,
and that by default makes them con contenders. And Kevin
says there's there's that, there's them diffs agains. I believe
Wayne G's sad at bets if if them's and Butts
had what cuts? I don't, I don't remember. Matt says,

(06:58):
I gotta run. Have a fantastic rest of your day.
Down buck guye nation, Matt, thank you for joining us. Man.
