Sperm Edwards Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 What good is always having happiness June through August each year? Wouldn't you prefer that happiness to occur September through February? In GOB's diplomatic manner, he is 100% correct. GOB's not being diplomatic. He is always surly due to his micropenis.

Bruce Banner Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Your statistical basis isn’t large enough to come to any valid conclusion. The Jets could very easily win the next 41 Super Bowls consecutively. I never thought of it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustInFudge Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Set expectations low, enjoy the ride. That way you never get too high or too low. I expect an 8-8 season, if we go below that...no worries, 8-8 doesnt get you anywhere to begin with. If we go above that win total...awesome!!! Its a nice unexpected surprise. I'm positive about things that give me reason to be positive. For example, I'm not worried about how sh*tty the Gators looked on Saturday because I have good reason to believe they can turn it around. The Jets have never really given me that feeling...ever.

Wouldn't you prefer that happiness to occur September through February? In GOB's diplomatic manner, he is 100% correct. Obviously I would prefer that, but I don't have any control do I? What I DO have control over is whether I'll have a positive attitude or negative attitude. As it was said earlier in the thread by another poster, I'd rather BELIEVE the Jets are going to win a Super Bowl and be proven wrong than believe we're going to have another SOJ season and be proven right.

That's fine, but expectations come down to fantasy versus reality. Fantasy: The Jets are a dominate football team, will finish 14-2, secure home field advantage and win the Super Bowl. Reality: The Jets are a good football team that will contend for the AFCE title with a record of 11-5 or 10-6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reality: The Jets are a good football team that will contend for the AFCE title with a record of 11-5 or 10-6. A "fantasy" and "expectations" are different. My fantasy is a perfect 19-0 season, allowing no points all year. My expectations? Division title and we'll see from there. And just because my expectations are high doesn't affect my attitude. If a Super Bowl title doesn't happen this year, our window won't be closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREENBEAN Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 I fight the SOJ demons from time to time during the run last year I came to a simple conclusion that I wasn't going to wait until the jets won a superbowl to believe, because then I would miss out on the best part, the ride and if anyone ever gives me crap about believing in my team they can kiss my red hairy a$$ ! I stand with Larz on this 100%!!!!!!!!! This is the most talented team we've had in forever and we're going to while and complain that people are noticing? I have a friend who is from NO and when the Saints started to win games last year he felt that if he watched the games he would jinx them (ya know... it's all about him lol) well he didn't watch one friggin game last season. The one season that they won it all he didn't even enjoy it. I root for the Jets. I watch the games because I like to watch football. I watched every game during the Kotite era and now I will watch every game with the exciting the team we have today. This SOJ crap is the worst! Miserable people make for miserable parties.

There is a much greater chance of the latter scenario happening than the first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slats Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 I'd rather BELIEVE the Jets are going to win a Super Bowl and be proven wrong than believe we're going to have another SOJ season and be proven right. To each their own. I'd rather be a pleasantly surprised pessimist than a disappointed optimist. As has been discussed in this thread and elsewhere, it all hinges on Sanchez. All of it. I'll be watching, rooting, and hoping for the best - but I'm definitely not expecting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LWC611 Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Bob's thread got me thinking. Many of you may be a little older and claim to be a little wiser but personally I just think youre chicken. You fear disappointment so you would rather not be excited for this team. Instead you condemn all positivity so that if and when disappointment does occur you feel better about yourself cause you feel that "you were right" and you "knew it all along." First off, Get over yourself. I dont care if you've been a fan since Namath or you were a fan during the dark 80s & 90s. That doesnt give you the right to cast a cloud over the entire team and fan base. Second, Go F yourself and take that $h*t somewhere else. JetNation is a place for positive outlook and constructive turn around and criticism. If you're gonna bitch have some credible reasoning backed up by evidence. This is a team game, no one man is truly responsible for a loss i dont care what you say. If a star player goes down the surrounding cast can and will step up to carry the load. Thats how it truly is. If you want to cry and moan about this team take it to the Gang Green Authority or that other sh**ty forum that is filled with haters and non believers. Last, YOU CAN CHANGE. My father was a pessimistic Jets fan now converted to a positive believer. The more you harbor negativity and cast it the more negativity is created. It simple math. E=MC2. Even if this team sucks a positive outlook will always triumph. Youll wake up in the morning less stressed and will prolly live longer. Im a firm believer that a large mass of people thinking and hoping for the best does more good for a team that a mass condemning them. All im saying really is "if you build it they will come" Create a positive mentality. Cast away your fears. FEAR IS THE DARKSIDE. FEAR LEADS TO ANGER ANGER LEADS TO HATE HATE LEADS TO SUFFERING. Not necessarily the best approach if your are trying to influence people. Someone may tell you to take your own advice....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
