They can, but I dont think they will. They have a tough game against the Oakland Raiders on Monday, and then they have to play the Pats and Dolphins one more time each, and I don't see them doing any better than 1-2 in those 3 games. So, if that happens, the best they can do is 9-7, which could be good enough to make the playoffs, but remember that there are many teams that are in the Jets predicament.
Here are the teams in the AFC with a record as good as or better than the Jets:
Oakland Raiders (7-4)
Denver Broncos (7-4)
San Diego Chargers (7-4) (But in all likelihood, they will fall apart as usual)
Pittsburgh Steelers (6-4-1) (That tie with my Falcons will kill a lot of playoff hopes for teams)
Cleveland Browns (6-5)
Indianapolis Colts (7-4)
Tennessee Titans (6-5)
Miami Dolphins (7-4)
New England Patriots (6-5)
That's 9 teams right there, and only 6 will make it to the playoffs. Plus, don't forget the Baltimore Ravens, Kansas City Chiefs, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Buffalo Bills who are all at 5-6 and still have a shot. That's 14 teams altoghether (including the Jets) that have some kind of chance of making the playoffs. Another thing to remember is that the Jets will lose a tie-breaker with the Cleveland Browns if it comes down to it because of their 2nd half collapse against them. So, it's going to be tough for the New York Jets.
