NJ Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I don't think negative is the best way to describe a lot of the commentary over the last year, I think realistic is more like it. And when the 2 years prior we got to the final 4 (regardless of how ugly) - a drop in performance is not going to be well received. I think most fans are ok with things when they're moving in the right direction - but I can't honestly say that i think this team is going to be that different or better from last years team. That's not something that gets the keystrokes spewing optimism ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlToon88 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I get it, its the "cool" thing to be down on the team you root for... I guess. But why is that? How much a large part of the regular posters here like to sh*t on the Jets every chance they get? Its a Jets forum but it seems all the Jets "fans" are more negative than the trolls who post here as Bills, Pats, Dolphins fans. I agree with you 100%. I guess they all look at this as a gripe board. Never seen so many complaining miserable bitches in my life. I've been a fan for 30+ years. I've seen a lot. The Jets don't have a rich winning history like the Steelers, Cowboys and Pats, so how can you complain about the regime that's in here now?? Believe it or not, this is the winningest era ever for this team. A lot of credit needs to be given to Tannenbaum, but the bitchers & moaners on this board always need something to complain about. They're all perfectionists. Not sure why they haven't switched over to the Giants by now. They're not real fans anyway as far as I'm concerned.

You can moan and groan if that's what you like to do, or you can take an interest in the perfect team that we share a stadium with. I have enjoyed some exciting Jets football during the Tannenbaum-Ryan regime. The team is nowhere near horrible and if you call not bitching and moaning "settling", so be it. Just remember your griping isn't changing a damn thing when it comes to the Jets winning or losing, so why bother?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greeniemeanie Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 It's a NY thing, I think. As my time away from NY increases with every day, I realize more and more that there seems to be a disproportionate amount of complaining coming from NYers when compared to elsewhere in the country. Actually, I think that's true for the entire northeast, on second thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
