I wasn’t even a thought when it happened but, yeah, same. I don’t care to watch the re-runs anymore. The documentaries. None of it. This season was really sobering. The Jets aren’t winning anything of significance with Rodgers and I, at 30 years old, have accepted that I will probably die before I witness a Jets Super Bowl victory with my own two eyes. Don’t get me wrong, I still enjoy being a season ticket holder. It’s great creating memories and it can be fun when they win. That being said, it’s painfully clear that this franchise will never reach the pinnacle of the league ever again. Not in my lifetime at least. That’s a bummer. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just enjoy it the best you can. They are in Knicks territory for me now. I ONLY follow this team through this board and because I hate all sports so I need 1 guilty pleasure (pleasure, did I really just say that). This board keeps my Jet fandom on life support but it works. What’s odd is how much I openly hate this organization but still follow it because there’s literally nothing else sports wise for me. It’s this garbage or nothing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggs Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 No AFL team will every win a SB again. I look forward to the day when all NFL teams wear the same uniform. That way the fans can share in the victory’s equally just like the owners share revenue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jago Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 It may have been noted elsewhere here but I’m pretty sure a Lions/Browns Super Bowl will relegate us to the longest stretch without an appearance at the big show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's wild. Obviously there are still teams that have never made it but I'm sure the point is that maybe they weren't in the league in 1969. I would think there are teams that have made it once but haven't won. Atlanta comes to mind. And heck, the Bills and Vikings are both 0-4. I'd rather be 1-0 than 0-4. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serious question - I was alive for SBIII. It is a part of me. I'm stuck with it. For a guy your age, with most of your life ahead, if this is how you see it, why stick around? I have a daughter a bit older than you also a big fan and I've been trying to get her to move on. I'm not sure what makes you two want to keep riding a known clown mobile that will dig you into the pits of misery like it has done to so many of us graybeards.

Maaan, lol, the serious answer is “I have no idea.” I’ve tried. I just can’t do it. I love the sport. I love the memories I have with my dad pertaining to the Jets. I love making the new memories with my fiancée. That being said, I’m also realistic. We’ll probably find ourselves in the playoffs every now and then…but that Super Bowl victory that we so desperately desire? Nah. Not happening anytime remotely soon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
