What did you guys do to cope with the pathetic display by the Jets today? I felt like killing myself, so I went out and bought an HDTV for $400, so now I only feel like shooting up some heroin.
I had a great week/weekend. Just got back from the Dominican Republic at 420 and watched the game at a bar in the airport. This performance made me sick. I drove home in silence and didn't say a word to my girlfriend. She knows how obsessed I am with this team, or else she would've thought I had a miserable time on our vacation. I almost feel pathetic for letting this team control my life. Words can't describe how mad I get after they lose. After a loss like this, it's 10x worse. So Ibleedgreen66, I feel your pain. I don't even know what to do with myself right now. So frustrated....
I ate a lot of donuts and stuffed my face with pound cake. Now I feel even worse. Man, tomorrow's going to suck big time.
I'm glad i missed the game, i had a ton of work to do, so i recorded it so i could watch it tonight, but no way am i going to watch it now. I just hope these two losses aren't a result of all our veteran players getting worn down as the season progresses.
Yeah, this was a week-ruiner. At least I get to hear dozens of base-less rumors about the Mets during the Winter Meetings this week. Horrible, horrible loss.
I can relate to all of you. My obsession with this team is becoming very unhealthy and it drives me nuts that they can't just give me one year when they just make me proud. After todays game I was about to go into the garage and chug antifreeze but I figure I'll wait till this team completes the collapse and finishes 8-8 while Chad leads his team to the division crown. The thought of that really is driving me crazy I have to go for a walk and calm down before start breaking things.
The thing that kills me is the realization that last week and Oakland and KC and SD weren't flukes. I knew we couldn't pass rush, I knew we couldn't cover, I knew Sutton wouldn't fix it, I knew Favre was washed up, but I thought we could at least be the same team that played Arizona, STL, and Tennessee. I thought they'd at least be able to pull off 3 more wins through the final 5 games and with a little luck, do something in the playoffs. Today marks the end of that dream. Now I have an essay to finish by tomorrow when I just want to get high and forget the Jets ever existed.
I wasn't really that surprised. Everyone saw what the Broncos did - that was the blueprint of how to beat the Jets.
I went over to the Miami canes board to discuss the bowl game matchups, and all my Canes buddies who were keeping quiet about the fins came out of the woodwork, now that they are tied for first place. I asked them where they were all season up til now? Actually, it was all good, we see each other at games, and always tease each other about the Jets'Fins rivalry.
I went to my sister to watch our flat team on her new flat screen. but she made me lunch and dinner as I also watched the Giants lose She hand made two good pizzas; spinach and ricotta and half mushroom/half pepperoni, they came out really good. And my niece was accepted into Tulane University so we went out afterward for dessert.
I'm still too shocked to cope. I haven't even hit the depression stage yet. I didn't see this one coming. This is going to be a rough week . . . and honestly, I'm not sure how I'm going to cope with this one. This one was bad. really bad. (The magical and equally tragic thing about football is that it's only played once a week. So whether your team is coming off an wonderful high or a disparaging low, you have to wait an entire week to see the next step, to read the next chapter, to either build on your blissfull hope or rid yourself of your burning dissapointment)
I held my head in shame, reminded myself that, when it comes to the Jets, hope is futile and moved on with my life.
i dont know how long you guys have followed the jets for me sense about 79-80 anyway what i feel today is depression. I cant get angry anymore its unhealthy and has never made things better. I cannot believe that 2 weeks ago we were on football nirvana, players being talked about for awards etc..... 2 seeds home games, and now if you took a poll probably many believe or most that we dont even make playoffs. I did not think it was possible for this to happen. I am so depressed miserable. Time and time again this team has let me down, i could deal with 2 -14 etc.. if the good years were truly memorable, i am not sure where i go or we go from here but lets hope two wins makes up relevant again 2 in a row its all about meaningful football and to think or high point of season is now behind us really deppresses me.
its all good to be pissed but dont let them control your life man. your girl doesnt deserve the silent treatment for an hour because smoke is coming out of your ears over a jets loss. i used to get that pissed about football but have done much better the last 5 years or so in keeping things separate.
