It’s finally here folks. The NFL offseason, the worst nine-month stretch on the calendar for die-hard Jets fans has come to a close, and Gang Green will open the 2016 regular season at home against the Cincinnati Bengals this Sunday at 1 o’ clock.
In the season’s first six weeks, the Jets will face five 2015 playoff teams (Cincinnati, Kansas City, Seattle, Pittsburgh and Arizona) with the only non-playoff opponent being Rex Ryan’s Buffalo Bills, who beat the Jets in both matchups last season.
For that reason, getting off on the right foot is pivotal for Gang Green in 2016 if they hope to avoid a potential tailspin out of the gate.
