Shame on the Jets for playing like trash, but shame on everybody that decided that suddenly they were going to be a Super Bowl team because guess what?
It’s not now, that’s wrong.
It’s the whole summer.
That was wrong.
The Jets are exactly who I thought the Jets were gonna be the entire time.
Yeah, you were right.
I was wrong.
I thought, I thought Aaron Rodgers would fix everything.
I mean, it was, it’s obviously they’re a bad football team, bad, bad, straight up, bad.
And as many people have pointed out, Zach Wilson has a better winning percentage as Jets starting quarterback, Aaron Rodgers.
That’s like, stay with the Jets.
That’s, I mean, what, what else could you absolutely say about this Jets team?
This seemed like the, uh, like the drago landing the, the final right hand against Creed.
Like any hope you had that, hey, maybe the Jets can turn this around.
I know a very popular network spent way too long when I was at the gym today.
I looking up, I’m like, we’re really talking about, can the Jets make the playoffs?
What I should go?
Jim Bora style?
Like we’re just talking about a game here, like, we’re talking about the playoffs with the Jets.
If you had that hope in the back of your mind, it’s done.
Now.
They’re, they’re just a bad football team.
They’re the last place in the AFC East.
And there’s a reason they’re just, they’re not good and it’s, it’s not gonna get much better.
Like, it’s, they, they win a few more games.
But again, bad football team, this whole project didn’t work.
And I, I’m not saying like Aaron Rodgers gonna quit on his team or anything, but you got to think that he’s sitting there saying, why am I?
Can I just be done now?
Can I just retire today?
Because he knows that there’s just gonna be a slog the rest of the season.
None of this is gonna be fun.
The Jets team looks like it wants the off season to be here already.
I mean, for them to lose this game is just heinous.
Like again, Drake made like the one the Patriots have had as Drake May making plays.
He gets knocked out of the game and I’m like, oh my God, this is gonna get ugly.
And you just, I just kept looking at that game, obviously, eight games going out in the morning.
I just kept looking at that game.
Like, are the Jets gonna pull away at some point?
Like why haven’t they, they’re still up two points they’re still up to and they just could not do it.
They’re, they don’t have it in them.
They don’t have the heart.
They, this team is soft.
They, they have no heart, they have no desire.
They just, again, they look like they’re ready for the season to be done.
They, they just look like let’s get out of here and then in the off season it, it’s gotta be a clean house situation.
Right.
Like there’s nobody to come back from this debacle.
Like this was a dark, dark day for the Jets and all their fans because all the hope of all of this Eric Rogers hype.
It was kind of dashed before today, but now it’s just dead like you, you just lost to the Patriots and Jacoby Burette.
Uh yeah, that, that is just a horrendous way for this whole, uh this, this whole like project, this whole gamble that they took.
It’s just what a weird way for it to end.
