You want to see national media heads explode? Have the Jets OVERperform for once.
They wouldn't know what to do if the Jets were suddenly good. They've relied on the laziness of SOJ for so long.
If the Jets pull a big turnaround this season like Cincinnati did last year, the pundits won’t have anything to stand on with their criticism. They’ll have to reluctantly acknowledge that the Jets were built the right way, and are a respected team for the first time in over a decade.
But yeah, the Jets are a punching bag for many of them and they’ll have to find someone else to pick on like the Jaguars.
