Once upon a time, in a galaxy far away, on "another web site," a lonnnngggggg time ago, I made the post below for fun and frolic. As someone who has now been a New York Jets fan for fully 40 years, entering my 41st season of fanship, I think it still applies. With a quarterback that throws the medium range passes like a girl, and having given up the best "other back" in football for :dunno: :duh: reasons, I think it's high time I repeated it here.
Once we Jets fans knew promise. Then we knew January 12, 1969. Then we knew less. Then we knew nothing. Now we know less than nothing, all is darkness and void. So, I hereby reprise . . .

After Week 1 - we could still go 15-1;
After Week 2 - we could still go 14-2;
After Week 3 - we could still go 13-3, get the first round bye and home field advantage;
After Week 4 - we could still go 12-4, and win the division. If they screw up out west, we might even still get home field;
After Week 5 - we could still go 11-5 and probably win the division;
After Week 6 - we could still go 10-6 and probably get Wild Card;
After Week 7 - we could still go 9-7, salvage respectability and MAYBE get Wild Card if they screw up out west;
After Week 8 - we could still go 8-8, and besides, we're rebuilding!!!;
After Week 9 - we could still go 7-9, which isn't bad considering the injuries and a couple bad calls by the zebras;
After Week 10 - we could still go 6-10, but look at all the important guys that went down;
After Week 11 - we could still go 5-11, but if it wasn't for the injuries and dissension on the team, it would have been a lot better;
After Week 12 - we could still go 4-12, and that won't be the WORST record in the league;
After Week 13 - we could still go 3-13 and maybe get the first round draft pick;
After Week 14 - we could still go 2-14 and probably lock up the first rounder;
After Week 15 - we could still go 1-15, and hey, we not only get first rounder, but we tied our worst record ever!!!;
After Week 16 - WE MADE HISTORY!!! NOBODY'S EVER GONE 0-16!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
