No fan should count on any game as a win. I didn't think the Jets would beat GB. I didn't think they would win after it went to OT. I did think the Jets would blow a 10 point lead and they did like they always have. The Jets are creating more opportunities for turnovers, but you can't cause 5 fumbles and only get one. So far the season is exactly what I thought it would be. It's a mediocre team that will be just good enough to screw up draft position.
So isn't losing this game instead of winning it a great result? Wouldn't a win have just hurt their draft capital? They proved they could play with a playoff team from last year without hurting their draft capital.

We’ll you missed the decade of the 70s
Sat on metal bleachers in Shea for a decade so I’m doubling those game
I'm not doubting you. I mean, it's entirely possible you were a Jets fan in the 40s and 50s, before the team was founded, so you don't need to double those years.

All wins hurt their draft and any win that doesn't help them to the playoffs is meaningless. I would rather them get beat not do the same thing we have seen for decades and lose a game they had won. Hey @Bigmoe Tyler Warren just scored. It's ok though, our TE's had 22 yards today.

And I actually meant sitting in the stadium watching garbage

Not sitting on the couch
But whatever

OK, so after a cooling down period and a decent amount of time to hopefully be thinking a little bit more clearer, I still see hope in this season. I will admit that this game has brought me back to reality, but I still do have hope for our team.

Before the preseason games and all the hope came in, I originally thought this team would win 5 to 6 games. Maybe 7, if they were truly lucky! After the preseason games and of course, after game one, I was thinking maybe 8 to 9 wins.

So I’ll split it down the middle and still say that they can win 7 or 8 games but they have a lot to clean up. Both the offense and defense fell apart when it counted most, and that was late in the game and there’s no excuse for it. We won’t even talk about Williams and his two muffed punts.

The Jets had this game well in hand and they had the momentum and they just gave it away. If some way, somehow they can figure out a way to not do that, they can manage to get to 7 to 8 wins. They have the talent and toughness to at least accomplish that. I believe so, anyway!

But if the team is not a serious Super Bowl contender, doesn't losing a close game to a playoff team from last year end up being the perfect result? I mean, that's what I would take from this.

O
Sorry about missing the 1979 lawnmower game at Shea against the Patriots because I was five and having my tonsils removed.
Yea I’m sure the ice cream helped the throat and you didn’t think about that poor guy
But you gotta go back another 9 years of garbage
And j was 15 when we started and my tonsils were long gone by then

Tackles and center played poorly. Smith whiffed on the tackle setting up Green Bays win. Reich crawled back into his shell . One play to sadiq? 3 runs off tackle and an end around all produced but let's just run up the middle for no gain....
AZ with a terrible PI on an under thrown ball. D line struggling vs the run inexcusable given GBs current run game.

It's a tough loss given the game should have been won but no one thought they would have even been competitive in this game a couple of weeks ago.

It's perfect in theory. This was a bad way to lose. It was a very Jetsy way to lose. We have seen hundreds of these losses. They need to learn how to win games like this and the leaders didn't come through...again!!
