    They write one of these for every team. Most time its tongue and cheek. For us its about 90% accurate except for getting rid of Revis, Mangold, Marshall.. etc. I wish it wasn't accurate but cant argue with most of it but we already know it.. at least most of us do. Anyway its got some good humor

    Did Rex Ryan really bring all of this on the Jets? I don't get why the Jets are the focus of the media. As if they are a joke. They've actually been a pretty successful franchise. Currently in a rough patch, but there are much worse franchises to make fun of in the NFL. I guess they just aren't worth it to the media.

    There are worse franchises but Rex was a big mouth and the butt fumble kinda erased any positives. We had a nice little run but for me as an ex tic holder we have not had a home playoff game since 2002. That's pathetic. Also our owner and stadium are shit. And of course it's the ny hate nationally

    One problem - actually make that three.

    Holy Roman Empire was:

    1. Not Holy
    2. Not Roman
    3. Not Empire

    Amazing - and spot on - article.

    Miserable franchise with few good memories to reminisce on.

    This will likely be the year where, regardless of historic records, the Jets will truly assume the mantle of worst NFL franchise. Arguably one of the worst franchises, period.

    They make the same mistakes year in and year out. They field competitive teams every few seasons but they're fueled by old players with a year or 2 left in the tank. They consistently pick the wrong coaches/GM's. They draft poorly. They mismanage contracts. They screw quarterbacks up like it's their job. They overcharge their fans.

    I'll always bleed green and white, but they need to earn my time at this point in my life. Needless to say, my Sunday's are looking much more open then in years past.

    This is how I feel this year too. For the first time in years I won't be watching live. If they show something I'll tune in. But no going to games or spending a dime on them.

    This is exactly how I feel. First time in my life I am not gonna spend my late fall Sunday's wRching the 2-7 jets. I am gonna let it go and do other things and watch the 425 game. Not less of a fan just smarter. F Woody.

    Its especially true how we always have a few years of a loudmouth asshole coach and then a few years of a silent mindless stooge like Bowles...its like rotating between Democrats and Republicans as they both roll the country off a cliff

    Me and 5 buddies were season tix holders the last two seasons and decided not to renew this time around. We can always jump back in next season, but this team really has to earn my $, and time for that matter. I hate to admit it but I have a feeling I'll be opting for other Sunday plans away from the couch when the Jets are on if they are a complete cluster fuck.

    Deadspin is utter garbage. Far left call out shame culture fun police. Anything that's the slightest bit fun and might offend 0.001 percent of the population they rail against.
