HELP! Another season vanished poof with another collapse and misplaced hope. Clearly, I care more than the JETS do. As well I should, as I have wasted more money, more time, and more energy, where as the JETS had another season of making money and mass raping their fans!
The team continues to proclaim its just one season. In doing so they declare to their fan base how unimportant they are. This is after all a fan base that has waited for the JETS to win with as much anticipation as they have awaited the coming of the messiah. Many if not most JETS fans, have craved a super bowl contender their entire adult life.
Anyone reading this that is not a fan will have no idea what I am conveying and will surely be convinced I am borderline insane.
I sit here once again in very real pain. Not much different than if I lost someone close to me. (Which in fact is the case, as I have lost yet another part of me?) Once more time, after another season, in a life time of horrific seasons, that ends in total and almost always complete heartbreak. (There is yet a chance the JETS can make the playoffs next week, and I can’t even go to the game as it hurts too much.) I remain incapable of much in the way of articulate communication as the pain and disbelief is too real and fresh.
In lieu of trying to write to a public that will not understand, I write to the very few unfortunate JETS fans that will.
This season the JETS had seven players voted to the pro-ball to lead all NFL teams, (The most in team history) yet somehow this team will still miss out on the playoffs. This team, that had its fans and most of the best analyst in the NFL convinced this team was one of the top few teams in football, is likely not even playing for a playoff spot in the last week of the season. For an organization that has done nothing but crush its fans, this may go down as perhaps the worst collapse in team history.
How did it happen? It’s really simple, this team has played scared to lose, instead of confident they will win. They are the least aggressive team in football, and are horribly coached in general. Going forward this team is also going to be an aging football team as well. The future in fact is bleak. The QB might and hopefully will retire. The offensive line has several older players, and the defensive line is old as well. The WR stink, and the RB are at best average.
An organization that cares about its long suffering fans, would fire its GM, Coach, and all its assistant coach’s, as well as clean out as many players as possible, to allow the team a new start. It would than hire the best available talent to run the team at all cost. It would also do everything in its power in this economy with so many of its fan base struggling, keep game costs down.
What will the fucking NY JETS do? They will raise ticket prices to astronomical levels, charge insane licensing fees, and continue to put the same fucking shitfaced losers on the field year after year at higher prices.
I GIVE IN. THAT’S IT FOR ME. I HAVE BEEN PRICED AND PAINED OUT OF FOOTBALL.
What is frightening and scary to me, is that football has been perhaps my reliable and most enjoyable escape in an otherwise bitter life. How sad I really am! How little do I really want out of life, and even that I cannot get.
In astute pain I once more write to the only person who has, ever will, or ever did give a damn about me at least a little bit. Yes me of course. So dumb ass dick face you have been suckered once more!

Same Old Jets, unlucky, or just plain stupid?
As a life-long Jets fan, I feel this season is one of the most painful ever. That is a big statement for a franchise that has shown so much promise and lets its fans down each and every time since the 1960s. Before we analyze the current disaster of a team, we must put into perspective the Jets as an organization. This is a team that has won the AFC Eastern division twice, once with a 9-7 record. Even with a five-team AFC East division until 2000, they should have won 9 or 10 times. In 38 years, the Jets have never finished first in the AFC, and have finished 2nd only once, in 1998.
The Jets however, unlike many loser franchises, have had numerous teams that looked on paper to be super bowl contenders. These would include the 1981 team that blew numerous games before losing at home to Buffalo in the wild card playoff round, the 1982 team that was cheated in Miami in the mud bowl, the 1986 team that started out at 10-1 and then lost one of the worst playoff losses in history after a ridiculous rash of injuries. The 1998 team, which was the only well-coached team in this 38 year time period, turned the ball over in Denver 7 times to lose, the 1999 team lost when Vinny went out for the year in the first half of game 1, and the 2003 team blew a game in Pittsburgh by missing two very makeable filed goals (a conservative coaching error, not a player error) which would have brought them to the AFC championship game.
Now for this year's team: This team went out and acquired a hall of fame QB who can still play, a top Offensive line, and several excellent defensive players to comprise a real solid roster; they started slow and looked incoherent. Then the team got hot, and looked like a threat to win the AFC.
Now back to the present: unfortunately the Jets defensive coaching staff has yet to figure out how to play a 3-4 defense. In fact what the Jets play is a 3-8 defense, routinely lining up outside Lb on WR and leaving almost anyone out of the back field completly uncovered. When a team rushes three players in the NFL, even if all three wore capes on their backs, this guarantees little to no pressure. Even horrible QBs in many high schools can pick apart a defense this way. This team sucks. The following steps urgently need to be made to turn this team super next season.
1. Brett Favre should not retire. To keep him in place please see 2-5 below.
2. Fire Mangini and all defensive coaches today.
3. Hire Belichick at all costs. Tamper, cheat, offer him millions, do whatever. He is obviously obsessed with NY anyway.
4. Draft and acquire WR play makers.
5. Sign a free agent CB, there are enough bad guys out there. Take a one year flier on one of them.
There are an unlimited number of potential loser Jets fans who will continue to fund the team. However, if this franchise does not see it as an absolute emergency to produce a consistent winner at all costs, I, and hopefully tens of thousands of other longtime suffering Jets fans, will come to their senses and follow this team from afar if at all.
