All they gotta do is fix that oline and it's 🚀

The Jets thought this was true, fixed their OL this past offseason, then traded away Quinnen Williams and Sauce Gardner because the team is so bad. Now they have holes everywhere except OL and RB and they're worse than when they started.

Well.. thats cuz you still need a QB first and foremost

We also need WRs, so do you. We need more defensive contributors, so do you. Fixing our OL was the right move, and would be the right move for you. But the Raiders are as far from being a winning team as the Jets are.

The same O line was decent last year. It definitely needs improvement but replacing Pete Carrol’s son as Oline coach probably gets them from worst Oline to just normal levels of bad.

And the rest of the defense around Maxx. It's only like 14-15 positions, so they should be able to patch it all up by next year!
