Uggh...... where to start, I feel emotionally drained.....beaten and bruised. good thing I don't have anywhere I need to be today aside from studying. 36 years....... waiting, hoping, with varying degrees of hope, attention and realistic expectations over the years. Living in FL for more than half that span, I've still remained loyal, and it seems my JETS passion has returned back to my childhood levels the older I get. Sometimes I wonder why...... I wish I could casually enjoy a football Sunday, then let it go after the clock hits 0:00 until the next weekend, like most people do....... There are some silver linings to the season (development of Sanchez for example & and the victories over Manning & Brady), but of all the JETS disappointments, I think this one stings the most. I really felt that this could be the year, and the pieces were in place. I wanted it more than ever. They had the attitude, the fight.... the fortitude to beat down past AFCG collapses. Thoughts of how our annual SB party was going to become a JETS SB party of epic proportions danced in my head...... I sit here exhausted replaying last nights plays in my head "why did they do that.... or if this coulda, woulda, shoulda happenned....." You can't count on a season of promise for next year....... free agents, injuries ('99 anyone) who knows what's in store, that's why I wanted it so bad. They say the Journey is more important than the destination..... while it was a fun ride, I would like it to end in bliss for once. Of course, next year I'll probably spending way too much time, focus and attention to the J-E-T-S once again, but for now I guess I'll have to direct my energy to other productive avenues in the time being...... and in the meantime, watch another SB halfheartedly beer in hand with thoughts of what could've been....... B :shit:
Yeah, it sucks, but get a hold of yourself. There are more important things in life than the Jets. Pussy is one of them. Go get laid.
I have a great family, a great job, nice things and I am sitting here depressed as hell. I'm 31 years old and was on my living room floor last night after the 3rd and 6 crying into my jersey.
such a let down i feel like going back to cutting...im 3 years "clean" from my self destructive behavior...but now i feel like nothing matters anymore
OP I'm with you man. I dont know what it is but I live and die by the Jets. When they win on Sunday my week goes by great and when they lose I'm in a funk and it takes me till about Weds to shake it off. This loss hurts a lot because this felt like it was our year beating manning, brady and then choking vs a mediocre Steelers team (yes I think they are mediocre). Last year I could deal with because we were riding a wave and were only 9-7.
you know those people that you hear talking on the train...oh the jets played last night? How did they do? They lost oh so they are done? Oh too bad did you see the episode of Golden Girls on Lifetime?? I envy those people on days like today. Crying into your jersey is all good...I don't associate with any team like I do with the Jets. I love the Yankees and the Celtics, but when they lose I don't get this upset and pissed off. I have been a fan since I was 7 - going on 29 years... and even though I'll never run out of the tunnel I feel that I am part of this organization. All the heartache you thought would be worth it last night when they raised that new gay ass Lamar Hunt trophy...and instead it is just more heartache that has you thinking back to allllll the heartache in your jet fan career.
The older I get...the less silver lining I find w/ every one of these losses. Don't know how much more I can take
rude asshole...i thought i could be myself here and share my feelings sorry you can't handle someone elses issues
Oh, I've got a perfect hold of myself, and everything is in perspective. Currently just a numb feeling that will shortly pass. Like my brother and I said last night "well, at least we get our lives back.... ha" Sundays will become more productive again, I just wanted the season to end in a big family celebration for once...... JETS football has become more of a family bond than a sports one, and that's where the emotions lie. It was a fun ride...... oh well.
