Perhaps true, but the Jets have never been known for having a national fan base. Not ever. Cowboys, Raiders, Steelers were the teams that had national marketing appeal. Never the Jets. The Jets DO NOT "boast a fan base around the league". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never underestimate how many NY transplants there are around the country. There are more Jets fans than you think 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowboys, Raiders, Steelers were the teams that had national marketing appeal. Never the Jets. The Jets DO NOT "boast a fan base around the league". With as bad as we've been, I feel like most fans still intensely dislike us and like to make fun of us (rather than looking at us as "loveable losers" like the Lions). I think that makes us somewhat of a draw from a ratings perspective. Having said that, though, I think there might be more Jet fans out there than I realized. I remember being really impressed at how much Jet green there was in that game in Green Bay 2 years ago. Somewhat related, it's also interesting how the Jets are looked at as the ultimate losers when we actually have a Super Bowl win (and probably the most important one in league history). And fwiw, the Lions' playoff history is far worse than ours. I don't like calling them out because I was rooting for them as much as the next person (and I'll root for them again next year so long as it doesn't negatively affect us). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Raiders national appeal is that they are the bad-boy rebels. The Steelers national appeal is that they are the tough minded working class hero's team. The Jets national appeal ??? They are the "WE TUNE IN JUST FOR THE TRAIN WRECK team". Fuk sake... We have such appeal... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I think the Jets are seemingly more talented this year (assuming they can actually stay health) so maybe they would've (maybe) had an extra prime time game over the Pats. Then again, with the way things go for both these franchises, the Pats will probably take a leap this year behind Drake Maye and the Jets will fall on their faces again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the members of Patriot Nation wanting them to trade back this year, it is like, "yo we are going to have a chance next year as well". Not totally disagreeing, but falling into a top 5 pick isn't so easy either. The Jets and Giants were total ass last year yet neither managed, despite coming close. I don't believe the pats will outright tank a la recent Jags or Commanders teams, either. The usual stout pats defense and even just a healthy Rhamondre might bring something more like the 6th-15th pick. Of course, to me this is all the more reason the Pats were wise to go after a franchise QB when they had the chance. There will be ample opportunity to build more around him (and trade back if desired) next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember the weird Florida Jerry Falwell people during Tebow? All the Packer fans during the Favre year...etc. Go down South and you'll find there is still a huge contingency of old Alabama alum that love the Jets. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
