It’ll much of the same for this franchise as it usually is in January. They’ll fight their way in as a road underdog and scratch and claw to the bitter end.

Both the Wild Card and Divisional Round will feature familiar postseason foes in Indianapolis and Pittsburgh. We have the Jets failing in Kansas City in the AFC Championship Game.

All things considered, 2016 will turn out to be a nice showcase for the organization. It’ll tell a story of an extremely talented roster led by an ultra-talented regime (Mike Maccagnan and Todd Bowles).

The offseason in 2017 will be the clear and key turning point in addressing the quarterback position. Only then will the New York Jets be able to take that last championship step.
