No just don't watch the games and continue to post your thoughts on the team. Most here do this already.
This is so, so true. Yesterday was a classic, archetypal example of what I like to call a NYJ "tease game." The Jets are the only team in the history of professional sports that can get blown out, while making juuuuuust enough plays to continuously give you a tiny sliver of hope until there's like 3:00 minutes left in the fucking game. They do just enough to keep you watching, hoping, and ultimately, hurting all the way through. It's fucking amazing. How many teams fail to score after that gift of a touch-back fumble yesterday? Only the Jets could fail to turn that into a huge momentum swing against a roughly equally talented team. Fucking amazing. So yeah, be a good Jets fan and take your medicine.
I think you need to watch it from historical perspective. Fitz put out the single most dismally embarrassing QB performance in Jets history. Worse then the buttfumble, worse than Geno against the Bills. It was so bad that instead of being pissed off, you will burst out laughing. It needs to be watched to appreciate how shitty Fitz really is.
Just watch the special on NFL Network next month... A Football Life: Ryan Fitzpatrick, Fundamentals of Throwing an Interception
well Namath DID throw 6 INTs in a game THREE different times..not to say anybody will ever confuse Fitzpatrick with Namath. http://www.pro-football-reference.com/leaders/pass_int_single_game.htm oh and in one of those games he still threw for 300 yards and in another almost 400 yards. Like I said nobody will ever confust the two.
I did notice a pretty heavy up tick in my drinking pace around mid 3rd quarter. About when I realized that the second half was going to probably be more of the same
Put on the Key Stone Cops at about half speed and it's like that. You have to admire that kind of QB performance in a way.
So far we've had 3 SOJ games. So I've decide to give them codes: SOJ-1 Cincinnati. Jets play against a superior team, make mistakes, put up a good fight, but lose a close game. SOJ-2 Buffalo. Jets play a clearly inferior team, make mistakes, win, but make it closer than it should be. SOJ-3 Kansas City. Jets play a good team, make mistakes and lose getting their asses kicked all game.
So I watched it, zipping through the commercials and dead time - took about 45 minutes. Fitz couldn't hit the broad side of a barn and seemed to go to the wrong receiver EVERY SINGLE TIME. Holy shit that was bad, but what's really sad is we could've won the goddamn game! $12 million dollar man my ass.
Still need the game where they look like world beaters in curb stomping a good team......only to shortly there after play a terrible team and look like dogshit all game before choking it away in the end. I'm thinking that SOJ ride will be the home baltimore game followed by the road cleveland game
SOJ-4 Jets make few mistakes and beat a team everyone picks them to lose to. SOJ-5 A week after accomplishing SOJ-4, Jets lose to a team everyone picks them to beat.
My first real test. Will watch Seattle game with friends and there will be a lot of booze around. If I survive, I am in this for a long time.
