Anyone else finding it tough to watch the game tonight?

[OtherwiseHappyinLife]

I have to be honest.  Even though the Jets lost 2 of White’s 3 starts, I really enjoyed watching the games.  It was a breath of fresh air to see the QB move the team and hit both easy and some difficult passes with accuracy and rhythm.

It’s become really tough for me to watch Wilson play.  This isn’t an anti-Wilson post; he is doing his best and likely has issues that run far deeper than ‘his mechanics’.  I’ll be rooting for him even if I find it hard to watch this current version of him.

Anyone else feel this way?

Remember: Everyone thinks the Jets are a sinking ship and a joke again. This is the best time to be a Jets fan.

Expectations are so low that it’s almost laughable for a team w/so much talent. It will feel good when we win tonight and are heading into Week 17 w/a playoff spot still on the line.

I will watch it but its the first time this year I'm indifferent about what happens. I hope the Jets win but the front office has stolen the good vibes this team had going and unfortunately I don't think they'll win tonight. 

[Drums]

Been tough since the second Pats loss. Just not as excited (but still excited)

[slimjasi]

I can't tell you how to feel, but the Jets still have a non-negligible chance at the playoffs in late December and there is at least some chance they could get white back for the next game. Buck up!

Yep,  if you like Mike White this is a lose lose game. If they win they will roll with Wilson, if they lose they're going to roll with Wilson. Also,  I don't think White is as hurt as they're letting on and I think he could've been cleared.

I'm excited ... Weather has me concerned ... But I'm excited.

Given your username I can't say this is a surprise

Did you even see the Milano hit?

FWIW, Sharp money has been coming in on the Jets.

Line back to  Jets -2.5

[PS17]

I’m deflated after this losing streak and the White injury. But all we wanted to see before the year was growth and competitive football down the stretch. Well here we are. Go win the game tonight and we are still very much in the mix.

ill root for him too but it is so tough to watch him make those terrible throws knowing that any decent medocre qb can make. I mean a check down 7 yard should be made every time. Its just frustating. But here is to hoping we see good zach tonight!!

I don't agree. 

Even if they lose, they likely aren't eliminated from the playoffs, believe it or not. if they lose and Wilson bombs, they will go back to White as long as they are mathematically alive. 

[pointman]

Nope. Excited as ever. Painting my face like the Ultimate Warrior, jumping through tables like a Bills fan, and drinking Mountain Dew Code Red like a fatty mcbutterpants who Monday morning quarterbacks professionally. 

[Embrace the Suck]

His (MW) game is easier on the eye and emotional state without a doubt. The end result is what matters though. I don't think ZW is fit to start currently, but it's hard to overlook the faults MW also has, and MW is injured so it is what it is (don't tell that to MW fans though). Maybe MLF will smell the coffee and call a game according the skill set of the person behind center.

It's a balance between not making the easy throws any QB should make and making throws only 2 or 3 other QBs alive could make.

Sucks .. but it's true.

So I'm assuming you think White himself was in on the conspiracy to keep himself on the sideline when he told reporters he went to 10 different doctors to try to get cleared?

Wrong. Mike White has a fractured rib and if he was medically cleared to play he would. Injuries suck. 

[nj meadowlands]

For the millionth time: Rooting for or against a player instead of rooting for the Jets is dumb. Maybe another hobby is in order.

Yeah that damn front office, bunch of lying snakes!

I like Mike White, I’m a huge fan.  I also like Zach Wilson, again huge fan.  

They both play for the Jets, who are my favorite team.  I’m a huge fan.  
My team has a chance to make the playoffs for the first time in forever.

I am going to root like crazy for whatever QB is on the field for my team.  This is supposed to be fun.  

But perhaps it’s more fun Instead to be contriving conspiracy theories about the front office lying about injuries and sulking bc “your” preferred qb isn’t playing?

Nope.  I’m crazy enough to convince myself that this time it will be different lol

[Trotter]

rooting for them - of course

Keep an interest in watching if Zach turns into scatterbrain Zach - that will be tough.

Given the above - has anyone figured out channel surfing when you are on that damn prime broadcast?

[pointman]

I am so excited to see Zach running around making impressive throws all over the place with a sprinkling of an angina inducing suckery. It is going to be awesome watching our QB of the future mature and blossom. That, and The Strev watching from the sidelines with an evil glare in his eye waiting for his moment.

 

 

[BroadwayRay]

The only thing keeping me interested is that if they lose tonight, they still have a decent shot at the playoffs if Mike White returns for the last two games. I'm not expecting the Jets to win tonight. Lawrence is sizzling hot and the Jets go into the game essentially without a QB. The defense and special teams will have to play perfectly, and the D will have to force some turnovers for a change, for the Jets to have any chance. 

[Greensleeves]

First time in forever the Jets have played meaningful football in December and you aren't excited? I'm counting the hours. I don't care who is playing, if my team is in the playoff hunt in December I'm excited to watch it. I've been a fan a long time - this is one of the most exciting Jets teams they've ever had - been watching since mid 70s when I was a little kid.

[Trotter]

i know it is a dream but maybe just once a Jet QB balls out on primetime and they dominate an opponent.

The football Gods owe us one. 

[Ron Rico]

If you can stomach this picture, you can stomach tonight's game. 

[varjet]

When we remember all of those years when the Jets made the playoffs, with Edwards, Mangini, etc., its not like it was decided before the season.  Almost every time they made the playoffs, they either had to win the last game and/or someone else had to lose.  It always went down to the wire.  This year could follow that pattern...if they make it to the end of the season when it matters.  They need to win tonight for that to happen.
