Why, after years of misery, am I still excited about tonight's game?

    No matter how bad we are, I always get up for NY Football Jets game day! Maybe we'll finally play good tonight.

    Anyone else?

    What worries me is I’m not excited at all. I used to be the exact same way… Didn’t matter how terrible we were I was always jacked up for Jets game day. This year I am perfectly content with having to miss good portion of two of our first four games. That would have given me severe anxiety any other season. This year it brings me relief.

    As long as Gase is the HC, the only interest I have in the Jets is to hope they lose. I'm not really rooting for the team/players to do bad, but they're "collateral damage".

    I’m excited for the Draft. Week 4 is effectively early pre-season for me.

    We’re Jets fans which means we are masochists by default. Bring on the pain!!

    I'm looking forward to watching the game tonight. Probably by kickoff I'll be a little excited because deep down I still love the Jets.

    The question is will I still be excited 3 minutes into the game when we have imploded for the first of several TDs scored against us? But even if that happens I'll see the pitiful comedy of it.

    What's even more annoying is that this game should be available to watch for free for me tonight, one of the very rare times that happens, but I won't take "advantage" of that because I'm not going to waste my time watching them being coached by an absolute narcissistic asshole.

    "Bad team vs bad team" games are sometimes as fun as "good team vs good team" games.

    It's the "Bad team vs good team" games that feel like a huge waste of time.


    On that note-- I do not care at all who wins tonight. Tanking won't help this franchise-- they need so many players they'd have to tank for a decade straight.

    I'm a native NYer but have lived in Boston for the last 40 years

    So not only do i have the joy of rooting for the Jets to win -- only to see them typically lose -- but I'm surrounded by people who bellyache when their beloved Patriots lose a game or worse yet win but it's not a "quality win"

    i tell them -- and myself -- that they will never experience the joy that i will experience when the Jets win the SB because of the long darkness. (p.s., i know this is a lie and we'll never win but how the hell else am i supposed to respond to them, "Yes I'm an idiot for not switching allegiances so many SBs ago"?_

    A win tonight will hurt us--that's the state of our franchise.

    With that said, I'm a fan for life! I will be watching.

    As a rule, I hate prime-time games. I usually can't fall asleep afterward because I'm too pumped up or too pissed off. Most of the time, the latter.

    I'm nervous that we'll win tbh. I fully support the tank for Trevor movement.

    I will watch the game with one primary thing in mind. Remain from totally giving up on this mess and try to better understand the dichotomy that keeps this team so uncoordinated and ineffective. On one side focus on individual performance - how bad is our roster in general and how much better can it be if we get Mims, Perriman, and other members back from injury reserve? Is anyone going through the motions or are they playing their hearts out.? At the end of the season how many of the 53 are keepers going into 2021, and how deep is the hole we are in?. Depressing as hell to hear we have the worst roster in the NFL.
    Secondly, how much of the problem is because of our coaching staff, play calling, and force feeding an offensive system that does not play to Sam's mobility strengths. Why haven't we seen more focus on helping Sam regain his confidence, reach out to him during the game with words of guidance and pointing out what went wrong with the play on the IPAD,. Instead we let him sit alone on the bench getting more rejected by the play. I yet to see the OC spend time with Sam on the sidelines. I saw Bellamy rip the offense a new one after just one play. We fumble our way through 3 quarters with zero fire in the coaching staff belly. I want to see intensity and pride on the field.
