I don’t even get excited about Sunday’s anymore. Used to have more fun playing fantasy football because at least I could players score but I don’t even do that anymore. I’ll never not be a fan of the jets but man do I wish I could root for another team. I’m loyal it’ll never happen, sad times
If you wanna root for what the Jets should have been, root for either Minnesota or Cleveland.
Minnesota replaced an MVP candidate and came back from the dead.
The Browns are what the Jets would have been if their line wasn’t complete trash. And they lost their RB.
Now for the obligatory:
This is what you signed up for. This is one of the worst professional sports franchises there have been since 1969. Nearly 6 decades now. They don’t have their own stadium. The guy who profits on them is a spoiled rich kid who failed the only foray he ever made into business eventually settling for tax evasion and paying off the SEC. He is a loser.
Granted, there were a few moments: Parcells actually set this thing up to work for a sustained period even with Vinny’s achilles in 1999. But the rumors back when he left had to do with Johnson, and ultimately Belichick left on a napkin, even with a good roster and a very solid young QB (probably the best Jets drafted QB since O’Brien). Rex had his 2 year run. Tannebaum and he fucked that right the hell up.
From 1992 up to Parcells was awful. And to be honest, even during O’Brien it was mostly bad. Buffalo owned the AFC and the Niners and Cowboys were taking turns winning Super Bowls.
Since 2010 up through now has been brutal.
So this is what you signed up for. Some of you are young enough that even your parents weren’t born when Namath beat Unitas. This is what it is. It’s better to expect this shit and be surprised than expect anything else.
It’s reassuring (in its own fucked up way) that older fans are confirming this is the worst jets offense ever. I don’t want to say that since I wasn’t around for as long. But this really is a historicallly bad offense.
