Shelbyblue Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 I truly believe some owners care less if their teams win. After hearing Woody Johnson’s constant praises of bad coaching, regime after regime I believe it doesn’t matter to him. The fanatics will always come, buy gear and tickets get media attention because bad attention is well…..attention. Every year I have to put away the Jets gear and root for my 1a. There is a reason the Jets don’t pay for a real coach and give them what they want. Belichek knew the Johnson’s didn’t hate losing like Hess did so he bounced. Bad football is big business and we fools eat it up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet Life Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 We are in a large market so will always sell tickets and profits are shared league wide for the most part. Unlike European football there is no relegation, so correct, losing doesn't really matter from an ownership perspective. There is no real penalty for being bad. Its been 10 years and fans still go to the stadium, buy merch etc. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Jet Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 It’s nothing more than a money making hobby for all these privileged assholes. You’re lucky if your owner cares at all about the hobby. We’re are not. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DepressedJetsFan23 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 I think if this coaching staff, qb, GM, flop and we get sold the “start over” again, that will lose fans and money like never before 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet_Engine1 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 I cleaned out the garage a few days ago. Threw out about 30 years worth of old Jets hats I have bought over the years. Didn't want them any more, and they were completely valueless. Thrown in the garbage. Felt zero remorse. I think a few jerseys will be making the trip as well. No, I'm not sending them to anyone. **** that. They aren't worth my time it would take, and who wants the jersey of a bunch of has-been losers, anyway. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheer accordingly or keep it to yourself!" I removed that plaque from my sports pub. How do you tell someone to cheer for the Jets when they're this bad. I'm not even drinking out of my Jets coffee mugs...put those puppies up in the highest shelf of a blind corner cabinet in my kitchen. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OilfieldJet Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 The NFL should consider allocating TV revenues to teams based on their record. That would engender a change. Right now it’s a socialism. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad football is big business and we fools eat it up. Each team gets $300M/year from the league's television revenue sharing program. You cannot fail financially as an NFL owner. In fact, a cheap loser is more profitable than an expensive winner. Woody is the Max Bialystock of the NFL. Would never pass an owner's vote but they should allocate 19% (the percentage of NFL weeks that are playoff weeks) of the TV revenue only to playoff teams. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmat321 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 The team is worth far more than from when he bought it, time to take the profit and sell. Let someone who is passionate about winning get a shot at owning an NFL franchise in this market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That isn't the problem. If we were still lead by Gase/Mac then maybe you would have a point. The problem is that he keeps hiring people that he needs to fire after 3 years. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just means that good teams get their hiring decisions right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a fan hiding in the bushes outside one jets drive waiting for Saleh' every movement. Let the man learn the job. Is Kliff Kingsbury considered a real coach? His first year he was 5-10-1. Lets see what happens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed but he also hired Greg Knapp who was supposed to be Zach's mentor and even an experienced OC that LaFleur can use. I mean there is somethings you just cant plan for. It's unfortunate and it happened. Saleh tried to fill the role with Matt Cavanaugh but I don't believe it's working with him. Cavanaugh was the QB Coach for the Jets in 2009 with Sanchez during his rookie season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
