By the time I got to the bar after work, Geno already threw his third interception on just his eighth pass of the game, probably ending his Jets career and ruining another Sunday for Jets Nation. I'm not angry or upset anymore. What I am is worse, apathetic. After another miserable Jets loss Sunday, this time at the hands of Kyle fucking Orton (not even his brother Randy) and the Buffalo Bills I just feel numb to the losing.
I'm tired of writing the same article every Miserable Monday of this season, and I'm sure you're tired of reading it too. There really is nothing left to say. Rex Ryan should "resign as the HC of the NYJ" like a hoodie wearing Parcells-ite did 15 years ago to save face. This is a terrible football team put together by an incompetent architect, John Idzik. Percy Harvin can't save us, Mike Vick can't save us, hell, Joe Namath in his prime wouldn't be enough to save us this time.
Losing seven straight games is almost unheard of in the NFL. With parity you would have imagined that even by blind luck Gang Green would win a game, instead the Football Gods just point and laugh at us for almost 2 months.We will always have the first game and a quarter of the football season when we beat the winless Raiders and went up 21-0 at Lambeau Field. After this game I can stop worrying about us going on a little win streak to ruin our chance at a top 5 pick. At this point, Jameis Winston might go on a crime spree stealing crab legs all around the country so he doesn't wind up in the green and white next year.
If the Bills were almost any other football team, the game would have been over at halftime. In spite of our six turnovers. they teased us, giving us a small glimmer of hope that with Michael Vick we had a real-life Madden restart (don't lie we've all done it in franchise mode). Then the Same Old Jets reared their ugly head, down just 27-17, we tried a trick play on special teams that words can't describe, giving our offense the ball at the 3 yard line. We didn't score again until there was just 4:06 left in the game down 43-17.
I'm not going to take the route of screaming and cursing saying that I'm done being a Jets fan. I'm a sheep and I know it. Like millions of us though, I will keep torturing myself watching 4 quarters of Jets football every Sunday (even worse, I will be at Metlife for the slaughter against the Steelers). As far as the 2014 Jets go though, they are officially irrelevant. The team is untalented and they are led by a clueless GM. Turn off the lights, it's over.
