Are we playoff bound, Superbowl contenders? Let's for a moment assume no. Let's for a moment assume that 6-10 or something along those lines would be a good achievement. In that case, why would we root for wins? Why not root for another year of losses, great draft position again, and REALLY build that super-duper roster that of course it's playoff bound / Superbowl contenders? And so on ... At some point those meaningless wins have got to start meaning something. I'm not talking about this year, I've utterly given up, but if we start out 0-6 next year is everyone going to want to tank again? Or would some "meaningless" wins be better?

Long Island Leprechaun Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 I wish this was about the Jets deciding to lose games. Looks to me like they're losing the old-fashioned way. They earned it... 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsfan80 Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Bitonti doesn't buy into tanking because he thinks the draft is a complete crapshoot when it is not. He's just spent so much time over the years making terrible evaluation after terrible evaluation of prosects that he thinks it all comes down to luck. It doesn't. The draft is a game of poker, not a game of craps or roulette. And the higher picks the better. Not just in round 1 but in every subsequent round as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torus34 Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 The other day I was listening to a sports 'show' on the radio [Radio's kinda like TV where the picture's out but the sound continues.] In between commercials, discussions about themselves and giving the latest betting odds, a couple of the commenters noted that the present status of the New Jersey Jets results in topsy-turvy rooting. Jets fans would like to root for their team, but first they must root for another team to win so that the Jets can safely win a game without losing that all-important first draft pick.

The Jets aren't tanking, they suck. The Jags aren't tanking, they suck. Tanking is just a fans term for rooting for their own team to lose. If teams in the NFL actually tanked, there would be a lottery system in place to prevent it. I do think @bitonti does bring some legitimate points. As for me, I do feel losing is a culture, 0-16 is an embarrassment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadaSteve Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 I get what you are saying Bit....Winning leads to a winning culture. We can root for wins, and the team wants to win....that is the start of a winning culture. But this team might just be worse than the 1-15 Jets were. This is what happens when your F/A signings stink for 5 years, and your drafting is horrendous for 9 years. To their credit, this team has been fighting hard. There is about 2-3 pieces to build around right now, with some solid depth players. But our solid depth guys are currently starting. As stated in numerous threads, I personally believe we should all come back serious-like after the 2022 F/A period and draft, and see where we are. This year, with a bad team, tons of 1 year F/A signings, Covid, etc, was a wash. We are set up quite well for next year. Lets see what happens.

Jet Nut Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Im thinking that a nice draft, turned into a great draft with the selection of Trevor Lawrence will be more of a culture changer than a meaningless win against any one of these last 3 teams on the schedule. To not see what everyone should have seen last night and to argue for wins at this point is crazy and probably just trolling 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a losing culture regardless, but one that can easily shift next year with the right HC/QB combo. Half this team won't be back in 2021, so the "learning to win" argument is simply dumb. 6-2 to finish 2019 didn't help the Jets in 2020. It's a dumb take. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You explain to me the value of a singular win v the loss of value.
