ASH1962 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I was thinking and sort of hoping the Jets would lose today at the outset, but I have to admit, as the game went on, and Petty started to make some throws, as Powell started running well, as we crept closer and closer until we actually ran a successful 2:00 offense to produce the game tying FG, my desires changed to wanting us to win and cheering as though the game mattered. I don't know, I just feel better when we win, whatever the record. I was expecting the O to F**k it up at the end. I was expecting the defense to fold on the last drive of the game / opening drive of OT, but they didn't. I said to myself, no way Petty has the ba**s to bring us all the way back and win in OT. Damn I feel good that we won even though it serves no purpose really. Why is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Folk ever miss a huge kick ? Even the best do, but dam Folk deserves a lot of recognition for his big kicks over the yrs..

Jets723 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 No matter what our draft position will be HIGH. Lets be honest this draft doesn't have many great offensive prospects especially QB. This draft is definetly more defensive talented which I'm sure pisses off some fans. If Petty can be a decent QB that's all we need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before the game and even during I didn't care about the win.. but as they started to put it together I found myself puling for them again. Loss wouldn't have killed me but it feels good to win one.

King P Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I'd feel like crap if Fitz was starting. But since Petty is in, I have no problem with us winning at all. At this point, wins and losses take a backseat to Petty's growth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bocajetfan Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Truth be told it is only fans who care about draft position. Coaches and GM's are invested in evaluating players on ther rosters. Free agent evaluation next draft a distant third. Teams are looking for immediate contributions from a player most draft picks are limited when it comes to immediate impact.

bostonmajet Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 just because there aren't any sure fire QBs, it doesn't mean that some dumb team won't pay big to move up to get one. Picking 3rd or 4th could pay off. But, you can't count on any of that, and a win even against a crappy team is nice to watch for a change. It was also nice to see the D toughen up and the O to keep fighting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take the win every day. Jacksonville too. Even though it seems they pick some decent players,they have had top 10 picks (maybe top 5 picks) over the last several years with nothing decent to show for it in terms of growth. Other teams like Steelers, Ravens seem to draft well no matter where they pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warfish Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Agreed. I try never to root for losses, especially if the only reason is draft position. Draft's a crapshoot no matter how you slice it or where you pick. Wins trump all. And yes, 4-12 finish would be better than 3-13. IMO of course. I'm a fan. If I needed to be ultra-pragmatic about it, I wouldn't be a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet Fan RI Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 How nice to actually get a win. The f'n Pats do well despite their good w-l record every year, so f the draft standing.. I'm very happy the Jets won today, and also that Petty looked pretty damn good,despite the pick 6 to start the game. Go Jets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Jets will have a Top 8 pick. The most important thing, in my opinion, is simply to trade down and acquire as many draft picks as possible. This team has many holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jets0712 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Does feel good to get the win. Great effort by Powell. And petty showed some grit. Great stand on 4th down.

RutgersJetFan Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Glad it feels good. You'll surely remember these as time goes on. I know when I think of those December wins of 2014 I get nothing but joyous feelings. There's really nothing more satisfying than trading long term sensibility for short term gratification. That's the key to success for every team that rebounds from situations like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevinc855 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 We are drafting 5-8 no matter what at this point. We were never getting in the top 3 with the Browns 49ers and bears. Plus we will prob go corner or o line. If we want we can take best of a position at this draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Persiussa Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 The truth is, if we want the first QB in this draft we might have to start winning some games unless you want to reach for him early. So yes it did feel good to win since there are no truly great QB and Oline prospects in this draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrickzNY Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 There really isn't anyone worth tanking for except for fournette and we don't have the Cowboys OL so he won't look like Zeke.

Jets723 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 This draft is pretty weak in offense and pretty loaded on defense. No matter what we will be picking 5-7 which is pretty darn good.
