I couldnt even bring myself to clap for most of the game. Just had that SOJ feeling again. Finally at the end of the 4th i snapped out of it and did enjoy the win, but now its back to reality. We are fucked. Its the same as last year. Awesome Defense and a FG at best QB. 17-9 losses here we come. Meaningless season. We went from superbowl or bust to 7 wins or bust.
This does suck. I got no energy and no amount of bullshit can mask the stench of the SOJ stank In the air right now. I wish I could find that silver lining but It would just be bullshit.
I would have rather lost this game and keep Rodgers health. Fools gold, will always look back to 2020, and I know it was a long time ago, but ownership fuck that one up. Should have learned from the Raiders game. Tank, Tank, Tank, and get our blonde Qb for the future not name Zach.
Honestly, the silver lining is that they now keep their 1st rounder next draft. I know that doesn't make everything ok, but you said silver lining, and keeping their top draft choice has suddenly gained a bunch of meaning. I would be apoplectic if this happened and there weren't protections on that pick.
Shitty thing is what they won't be able to do with that #1 pick. In true SOJ fashion, they will win enough to ensure that they can't use that now safe #1 pick on an actual NFL QB. Knowing the Jets, we'll use it on another stud DL pick because we don't have enough talent on our current DL. (yes, that was sarcasm) You, me, we ALL know it because that is what they do.

I've been reeling most of the day. But, if you consider what Rex accomplished with Sanchez and the Ground and Pound plan. That worked out pretty well. I'll sign up for that until Rodgers rides a white steed charging into Jet Life stadium clutching the American flag before his first game next season.
And your optimism regarding the Jets is very near boundless most of the time. This really illustrates just how cruel of a break losing AR before he even made one pass is.
After nearly 40 years of following this team I am now so convinced that whatever they do will go wrong or be the wrong decision that nothing surprises me and it just reaffirms my view of the order of the universe - you just knew that this is how it would play out after all the gushing and fawning in Hard Knocks - it was pretty much guaranteed
I saw it happen and announced to the room that Aaron Rodgers tore his Achilles and they all laughed. This shit just doesn't really surprise me anymore. I'm more numb than anything about it.
Mark Twain once said that if you have to eat a live frog, do it first thing in the morning and nothing worse will happen to you for the rest of the day. Monday night was the Jets' having a live frog rammed down their throats. Nothing worse can possibly happen this season.
There are a lot of really good QB prospects in this draft coming up. So we might not be able to get Caleb Williams or Drake Maye but as we've seen time and time again, often the best QB from a class isn't the one that gets drafted first.
I wish I was numb, im devastated. This is the worst feeling I can remember having from sports. I didnt feel this bad when we lost the AFC championship game.
you still have faith we can draft a QB after the epic fails of Darnold and Zach? I dont. I think we have as good a chance hitting on a high pick qb as we would to keep drafting 7th round QBs to hit another Purdy.
at what point is it loyalty and at what point is it just stupidity what we are doing to ourselves by being fans of this team? I know in THIS case they didnt do anything wrong, but man all the misery we put ourselves through. It just doesnt feel worth it sometimes.
