Since that last playoff game in Pittsburgh the Jets have gone 77-134-that takes something out of you @SoFlaJets This is just speculation on my part, because I certainly can't speak for others. I think after how last season went down the crapper, 4 snaps into the very first game of the year, at least some fans are understandably, keeping their expectations & enthusiasm in check. I'm cautiously optimistic, but I'm under no illusions, there are a lot of things that have to go right, for the Jets to have a good season. Ask this same question again after week 1 vs San Francisco. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DoubleDown Posted June 21 Popular Post Share Posted June 21 On paper, it's a decent enough team. The key will be staying healthy, which is no small task considering the injury history of many of the key players. In many ways, it's a house of cards. The best thing the Jets have going for them is having a number of young, elite level players (Garrett, Sauce, Breece, Quinnen, JJ) that are just starting their prime years. The last time the Jets had this type of dynamic on their roster, they went to back to back AFC Championship games. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask this same question again after week 1 vs San Francisco. Last season I was "all in" I was watching Jake Atman and some of the other guys on YouTube every day. I knew every player on the roster including those of the Practice Squad, I mean I was ready for a great season and then there we were again, having to watch the worst QB in the history of the team AGAIN, there was no hope that he could ever do what Sam Darnold, Geno Smith or Marc Sanchez could do. Then the great GM played Where's Waldo all season afraid to be held accountable and a clueless Head Coach standing at the podium week after week trying to convinced us that the guy he was sending out there gave the team the "best chance to win". I'll tell you ARod this kind of behavior doesn't instill a lot of confidence going forward. Hopefully I'm wrong 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRy56 Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 I am more optimistic about this year than last. Last year there were real questions and roster spots that made me raise my eyebrows, on the OL obviously. That’s not there this year for me. This team’s ready to go 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetspenguin Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 Boggles my mind... EVERY team in the league has to stay healthy to have a good season but when it comes to us its a much bigger deal. Tyron Smith was an often injured but fantastic player every year but now that he plays for us he cant be counted on and that is a weakness, for Dallas he was a brick in the wall. Why are the rules different for us? We have the same players who have been good in the league with other teams despite their injury history but for us they are assumed to all go down in the first month of the season and will not be contributers.

I think it's different for the Jets because the surfaces they make their players play on are usually among the worst rated, not to mention the strength and conditioning coaches are being blamed snd supposedly they have been let go and a new system has been brought in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since that last playoff game in Pittsburgh the Jets have gone 77-134-that takes something out of you Not just you. I have posted several times that I am completely opposed to the Rodgers trade and all related signings, hate the way they handled Huff and the idiotic Reddick trade, but most of all hate HATE Saleh who I think is the worst HC in the NFL. It is easy to blame everything on Zach but the reality is that Saleh is stubborn, not a good strategic coach, terrible in-game and has lost the team at the end 3 years running. Rodgers is 2 years and an achilles from a sharply declining season and people think he is going to revert to MVP style play. And let's not get me started on JD that has filled the roster with fragile older players and built a team out of paper mache. I think we win 7 or fewer and we blow the entire thing up. Again. No I am with you, this is my lowest interest level for a season ever I think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetPotato Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 I've found over the years that no matter how optimistic or pessimistic you are going into the season, the Jets will fall short of either set of expectations at a rate of approximately 100%. So it doesn't really matter which you way you go. Probably the best move is to be optimistic (for your own short-term happiness), but quiet about that optimism, so no one is laughing at you about it later. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prove it on the field....let's start with not being a running joke in September and mathematically eliminated by Halloween The second line of this post is 100% true........FOR EVERY TEAM IN THE LEAGUE. The sky is NOT falling period, it it not falling eventually. It is only the sad, nevative expectations that make it feel that way. I mean why bother watch the team if you already believe they will fail? Why watch the draft when they will only pick bust players? Why pay attention to free agency if all of them will get injured and go down for the year? Why bother listening to the coach when he is only going to have a losing record and never produce a winning season? It's perspective and the same rules apply for all 32 teams in the league. We just have too many doomers and gloomers here that have been beaten into submission from the decades of shatttty football. but the sky is the same sky here that is is in Kansas City.
