Being a Jet fan since 1963, I can honestly say, “ I’ve seen it all”, “ I’ve experienced it all”.
I saw a thing on Facebook two days ago, the nine scariest amusement park rides in the world, they left one out. The NY Jet fans roller coaster ride.
I may be biased but I don’t think any professional sports franchise has put their fan base through the emotional hell that we Jets fans have endured.
The NY Jet Fan roller coaster is the highest in the world. Many a time, the coaster has slowly brought the fan base to ascend to new emotional highs, Parcells leading the Jets into Denver ( one of the few games that Parcells ever admitted was a lock for his team), Rex’s two ventures into the AFC championship games, Walt Michaels leading the best overall roster into Miami.
While some teams seize the moment, the Jet Roller Coaster cruelly demonstrates the law of gravity, “ what goes up, must go down.
As David pointed out, this is the type of game that the Jets have historically lost.
There is not one poster to the Jets Way who can honestly say that the Jets losing this game hasn’t crossed their minds.
While my next comment might be selfish, it is the truth. This is why Aaron Rodgers was brought in here to play.
All time greats rise to the occasion, people can say whatever they want about him. At this point it doesn’t matter. Rodgers is here to rewrite the Jets history book. He said so himself at his first press conference in Florham Park. He mentioned about adding to the one Super Bowl Trophy that he walked by walking into the building.
Rodgers knows that this franchise is riding on his shoulders, he revels in that thought.
Based on all analytic and statistical information, this is a game that the Jets should have no problem winning but unfortunately their history says there is also a good chance they will lose this game.
But remember one thing numbers don’t win or lose games, players do.
Hopefully Rodgers will get the Jets to rise to the occasion and not be “ The Same Old Jets”.
My comments from today’s Jets Way
David’s column was a lot like yours today
