Are you rooting for the Jets to beat Washington?

[slimjasi]

Simple question - to tank or not to tank? 

[Skeet Ulrich]

The Jets love to do nothing more than win meaningless games in December to worsen their draft position. 

 

Jets ML is a mortal lock this weekend.

[THE BARON]

NO !  I want Joe Alt

[Jet_Engine1]

[Jetsfan80]

This wasn’t a team meant to tank but here we are anyways.  Thanks Woody/JD.

That said….Any time we’re mathematically eliminated it makes no sense to root for wins.  Learning to win isn’t a thing.  Playing with pride isn’t a thing.  “Real fans always root for wins” isn’t a thing either.  

[Larz]

Rooting is too strong a word. I’ll be checking in while drinking and eating and being merry 

[Beerfish]

On game day during the game i always cheer for the jets to win, does not mean it is good for us.   But i can't help it.

If I could right here guarantee all loses from here on in i'd be fine with it but during the game......

[Joe W. Namath]

Not watching.  Dont care.  Will hope for a loss.

[LockeJET]

Id love to see all the youngsters and such have really good games but still find a way to lose.

I’ll probably check in a few times just to be curious. Hoping they lose out the rest of the way and get a top 5 pick.

[Creepy Lurker]

We need a new tradition. The buttfumble was born on Thanksgiving. There’s a lot of potential for a Christmas Eve disaster of some kind. 

[UntouchableCrew]

I can’t get truly emotionally invested here, but given that we’re now officially eliminated I hope we lose.

Tbf, that's a different point from the OP's poll question.

[T0mShane]

Me at the bar in the Chinese restaurant getting lit up on mai tai’s while rooting for a Jets loss and for someone on the Texans to rip out both of Jaxon Smith Njigba’s hamstrings before he scores again and I have to go into Christmas with @Beerfish mocking me in my mentions:

Haha Jets no rouse, you pay bill now and go read fishy beer comments.

No way I could ever root for Jets to lose. Tanking is losing a game on purpose. A good way to ruin the sport. Go Jets!

[faba]

Yes I never root for the Jets to lose

I couldn't root for the Jets to lose either.  I'm just rooting for them to not win or tie.

Rooting for the Jets to lose isn't the same as tanking.  I agree with your point about tanking ruining the sport.  Though I don't think the Jets have tanked before.  We won 2 of our final 3 the Trevor Lawrence year.  Meanwhile, the Jags benched Gardner Minshew for Mike Glennon the final few games of that season (aka "they tanked").

The Eagles also benched Jalen Hurts for Nate Sudfeld in the 4th quarter of the final game of the year a couple of years ago.  That cost the Giants a chance at a playoff spot plus I think the Eagles ended up picking ahead of the Giants that year as a result (and they got Devonta Smith while IIRC the Giants got Kadarius Toney).

 

[RutgersJetFan]

I'm gonna be honest I'm starting to doubt whether my rooting for them to win or lose actually has an effect on the outcome of the game.

Beside that do you trust Joe D with that higher draft pick hah

[varjet]

• Jets/Commanders is the battle of two teams that do better in the long run by losing and getting a better draft pick.
• Remember that the Commanders are owned by the people that brought you The Process in Philadelphia.  It is a definite strategy to lose now to win later. 
• Thus, I predict that the Jets “lose” this game by winning. 
• I think a team with a QB learning to win and an LT to block for him is better off trying to learn to win and build a foundation.  But for a team like the Jets with massive holes in the offensive roster, we need draft picks.

[HawkeyeJet]

I just want everyone to have fun and be safe.

[peekskill68]

Would love to see us lose a 40-38 shoot out with Breece going for 150+ and a couple of TDs and Brett Rypien becoming the new #MyQuite...

I was going under the assumption that JD would be replaced with Sonny Weaver.

Last time I got drunk at a Chinese Restaurant,  it was 1998 at a place on Broadway in South Boston near the Red Line station. Beat the sh*t out of a guy over nonsense, threw $20 bucks on the bar and hauled ass. Ran into a cop friend of mine outside Store 24 (convenience store chain) and convinced him to give me a ride in his patrol car to a different bar on the other side of Southie. 100% true story.

 

I was what people used to refer to as "a problem". 😆

The ghost of Christmas present is a bitch but just wait for the Ghost of Christmas yet to come when JSN becomes a star in future years.

Also your new years gift?   Some kind of Derrick Carr flag waving ceremony as he leads the Saints into the playoffs.
