For 25 years now I've stood by this team. Very often, watching them play makes me feel physically sick. There are times when they give me unbelievable highs, but this is just to set me up for a kick in the stomach. 1986... collapse after the 10-1 start. Lose last five, then win a playoff game to actually make me hope again, then lose in double OT of a game they had won. Got to give the team credit for managing to deliver two kicks to the stomach in one season. 1994... collapse after the fake snap. Lose last five to miss playoffs. 2000... lose last three to miss playoffs. 2008... lose three games in four weeks to a bunch of mediocre-to-hopeless teams. Almost certainly will miss playoffs unless the Patriots fail to take care of business. The common factor is that these gut-wrenching collapses always come after the Jets have started to look like a potentially good-to-great team. Now I'll hope for a Buffalo victory next week to give me hope again, but I'm kind of expecting a kick in the stomach.
after 43 years "I refuse to let them do this to me anymore" I started rooting for this team in 1965....I can't handle it any more...call me a quitter...call me what you want...I'm done!!!!
you know what?? after this season i cant blame you..good luck and hopefully you land with a team with some heart....
...read my thread which is similar to yours, but I have 18 more years of torture from this organization....
i couldn't ever really do that but damn do i feel like it right now. what a depressing loss. this team never ceases to rip my heart out.
I have no confidence anymore. I'm done myself (until August lol). Chad will eat our defense for lunch. It would be bittersweet if he takes the Dolphins to the big game but I'll be happy for him nonetheless. There's no other player in my opinion that deserves it more.
I'm rooting for Chad the rest of the way. I would like to see some salt rubbed into this wounded Front Office.
An open prayer for a new coach. Please sign, for strength. Dear God (or whatever deity you pray to), I am not asking for something that is very hard or major... Today I am not looking for you to house the homeless... to feed the hungry children... to stop rampant disease... All that I ask is for Mangini to be fired. I do not wish for him to suffer or remain unemployed, I just do not want him coaching the Jets anymore. Please find it in your infinite wisdom and mercy to grant us our wish. Yay, you are a wise and merciful God(/goddess/goat/fat buddha/bright light) Amen -Chris
Go for the Lions...no one will blame you for jumping on the bandwagon. Plus, they will start with a nice #1 pick (AGAIN)
From Tannenbaum to Mangini in an email: Tell you what, we coulda had a good season together! Fuckin' real good season! Had us a first place finish of our own. But you didn't want it, Mangini! So what we got now is Brokeback Mountain! Everything's built on that! That's all we got, boy, fuckin' all. So I hope you know that, even if you don't never know the rest! You count the damn few times we have been together in nearly twenty years and you measure the short fucking leash you keep me on - and then you ask me about New England and tell me you'll kill me for needing somethin' I don't hardly never get. You have no idea how bad it gets! I'm not you... I can't make it on a coupla high-altitude fuck ups once or twice a year! You are too much for me Mangini, you sonofawhoreson bitch! I wish I knew how to quit you.
I'm about to become a Dolphins fan, lol. I almost did it earlier in the season. *I could never bring myself to root for the fish.
