Jets get mocked at every single turn for YEARS! First time one of them does anything that is the slightest bit brash, they get hammered for it.
The press don't want the Jets to be good. They want them bad, and they want them subservient.
Seriously, it’s like the Jets can’t be happy with their unexpected surge this year. They’ve exceeded the expectations of everyone and are told to pipe down because one player wears a cheesehead at Lambeau. It was so innocuous.
Meanwhile, every time some defensive player on another team gets a turnover, the entire defense goes to the endzone for a group picture celebrating it. Nobody bitches about that. It’s all good times.
