NFL Punch Line.....again

And there it is, the SOJF.

 

I've been a fan of this team for too long. I'm 42 and I feel like I've seen it all. For this reason, I refused to buy into the hype even at 9-2. I feel like I'm always waiting for that other shoe to drop. I'm always bracing myself for that point in the season when things just turn bad. It's sad that I can't just sit back and enjoy the ride. I'm just so tired of having my heart ripped out year after year after year.

 

no arguments here. We went in there almost expecting the game to be handed to us. It certainly did, just not in the way we were expecting.

This game will do one of two things, it will either recharge the guys and cause them to be pissed off at their performance, leading to better play down the stretch, or it will kill them. We can only hope for the former

 

In all fairness, that was a SOJ performance.


With the exception of Brady/Sanchez....we're better across the entire offense.


The defense is pretty much the same, we're better than they are talent wise.

Yet....They went out on the field last night and got dominated in all phases of the game.

 

Jesus Christ has everyone just started watching sports recently?

We all want Championships and we all get pissed when we don't get them.

Being 9-2 and just waiting for something bad to happen... That's just a shitty way to live

 

Oh jesus, you could fucking set your watch to this guy's ritual self-loathing post-apocalypse posts. Every season the Jets get off to a half decent season we get one of these. Give it a rest already. Our team is still 3 games up in the wild card race.

 

i would agree with being better defensively and special teams, but offensively the pats are better and much more consisstant. without moss, brady is back to spreading the ball around and thats not good for the rest of the league. that is what made him so good during their early dynasty run.

the jets will have all they can handle trying to compete with them in the coming years with all the draft pics they have this coming year (2 #1s - 2 #2s _2 #3). they may just end up owning this division for another 5 years. ouch!!

 

Being from Western Massachusetts and stuck around all those semi suicidal red sox fans all through high school, I always said I wouldn't give up on my team like they do (and you do).

Haters always hate, and my friends who stopped watching then stopped watching this year when the sox were out, so winning a championship won't change your dark sider ways anyways.

 

Bills fan here........ There is probably no one in the universe who can relate to how you guys feel today better than your division foes in Western NY. We not only usually loose the big game, but it almost happens in such a way to then make us look like a national joke (ie. Stevie's drop, Dallas MNF, Music City Miracle...etc)

The difference between us and you guys this time is Rex, the team and Jets nation started chirping since last year about how you are the best. I'll be honest, myself and most of the non Jets fan world have been waiting for this game (it was pretty sweet). But if the team and Jets fans would show an ounce of humility it would not be nearly as bad today.

You just would have gotten beaten by the best team in the league (no shame in that) but because you guys talk shit from dawn until dusk (after some pretty suspect wins mind you) I (a Bills fan) am here rubbing it in.

Good luck the rest of the season. We will see you guys in week 17. I hope your playoff chances are not hinging on that game because the poster above got it right. Hell hath no fury like a self proclaimed playoff team blowing it in week 17 to the Bills.

 

For all the apologists out there, let me ask you - if the Jets had won 45 - 3, would you be saying the same shit about the Pats? You know, just one game, still a good record, etc, etc? I doubt it. The fat big mouth shit head that supposedly coaches this team should close his fucking hole and start coaching. If they had fought hard and lost 24 -17 or 20 - 10, I would agree with the "one game" theory, as I didn't expect them to win this game, but I did think they would at least show up. This team has sucked for over a month, record not withstanding, and that fat jackasses' schtick is old. After all the talk, Belichik dropped his pants and said "press lips here", and fat ass obliged. Maybe Thiesman and Fatcessa and the rest are right, it sure looked like it last night. Contenders kick ass on the field, pretenders talk shit and don't show up. And DBJ is right - the by product of not backing up all the tough talk is that we are once again a laughingstock. But that is a familiar place for this team and its fans. For all you "just one gamers" - here's my predicition - that game ended this season for these jokers. And if anyone of you want to save this message and throw it back in my face, be my guest. I'm really not concerned that that is going to happen. This is simply another year without a championship.

 

While I can hardly condemn any kind of pessimistic posting from anyone after a loss like that, I have to ask you: do you consider the Jets, or the Jets fans' perspective, to be the center of football world?

What I mean to say is, are you unaware that teams such as the Lions, Bengals, Panthers, Bills, etc. exist?

What is it about certain Jets fans that they are somehow entirely unaware that losing (and, yes, even in such ways as the Jets have historically done) is not specific to only our beloved team? Please explain.

SOJ does not exist, just as much superstition is BS. There is no bad karma hovering over this team. Or in your analogy, there is no Lucy.

There are, however, fans, who instead of standing up for their team when support is needed most, are already over the starboard side, holding just enough rope so they can climb back in when the weather gets warm again. Are you this kind of fan?

I'm rocking my Jets hoodie today, proud to support my team, even when they get romped by a 42 point differential. My suggestion to certain fans: put the noose away. Our condition is not specific to just us. SOJ only exists in our minds, and will continue to live on until certain fans come to terms, recognize it never existed to begin with, and put that s*** to bed.

 

This place never ceases to amaze me, now people are bashing Rex??


The players did not show up last night and that is the bottom line.
I think I have to take my fist TGG break, I can't take all the BS posting here.

 

I agree with this 100%. I will say that I am still on board with Rex. I think he is a great Defensive mind, the players love playing for him and he's entertaining as hell. However; he needs to learn to just STFU. He has not done anything yet in this league and he needs to stop talking about how the Jets are going to win the next 10 Super Bowls, how they are the best team in the league, etc.

A lot of fans here seem to have taken on his personality too talking about how we were going to stomp the Patriots last night and it would not even be close. What Jets team have you guys been watching???

 

Some of you mopes really deserve a team like the Cardinals to root for.

 

^Cards made it to the SB a couple of years ago. When was the last time we were there?

 

I will not defend a single person for last nights performance. You can go right down the line starting with Rex until you get to the 45th guy on the active roster, they all sucked last night.

The great thing is that when Sunday rolls around there is another game to be played and with a little luck the Jets could be right back in 1st place in the division and this will just be a bad memory. If you need to vent by loathing every heartbreaking Jets loss then I guess that's what you have to do but the sky is falling posts while sitting at 9-3 and in command of a playoff spot isn't the way I would go about things.

Last night was what it was, an embarrassment for the entire franchise. The great thing is that in a few weeks when the playoffs start this loss will be way in the rear view.

 

Thank you.

Big picture, fellas. Big picture.
