Jets were bad before this off-season, and then spent the past several months completely blowing up their roster. They've moved or tried to move every veteran on the team of any value. In other words, they're in full tank mode.

Yep, I get that, but pre season has been really good with above par performances for a lot of young players.
I Hate the idea of tanking and hope this doesn't happen.
The upset games will be divisional ones, and this Bills game has it written all over it, could be wrong :)

On the Bills, what have they done that makes them so much better? Looks like Same old Bills to me.

Bills haven't done anything to get better, and are likely even worse. They're on the cusp of tank mode themselves. Still head and shoulders over where the Jets are at. And I don't read too much into pre-season. The Jets have clearly positioned themselves to make a determined run at whoever will be the #1 QB next draft (Sam Darnold is the current media darling, we'll see who it is by season's end though).

I don't know that much about either team. To me. its a wash so I would side with the home team. Just my 2 cents ..

Jets being the Jets, the Bills will pick ahead of us and get the next Jim Kelly. I hate high draft picks for QBs (sanchez) as the expectations are just so high, unless they have the strong character to cope with it...and then there's the pressure cooker atmosphere of N.Y., it's a lot to deal with for a young person.
Should be an interesting season, ha ha on a side note, I've been with my GF for 8 years and all she's seen is terrible seasons back to back to back etc... no wonder she's reticent about going to a game;)
