Where are the fans


the whole reason for signing up for this site is because when i looked at Jet updates all year it felt as if i was the only jet fan out there. The players played like shit this year. Agreed. Understood. Got it. They know it. Everyone knows it. We've (I still consider every jet fan and me one) pointed fingers at every single contributor to the organization. Crucified anybody with their hand in a game loss. So ask yourself, if the whole organization needs to go, if we need every coach replaced pretty close to 100% roster change.... then who are you a fan of? Theres nothing to root for, nothing to be passionate about. Are we all wearing green and white in support of Revis and Mangold? Nah, we've been bleeding green way before they ever thought of playing for nyj. So, the players de-unionized. Went separate ways, Did not want to play in a Jet uniform and fly off with the trophy. why did this happen? well we all said, it obviously means each individual sucks and we need to replace them.... So you're telling me Holmes has not made absolutely outstanding catches? clutch at that?! That Burress didnt have a one hander diving catch around the defender in the endzone to make for a freakishly athletic TD?! That keller ain't one of the top 5 TE's in the league? (and could someday look as dangerous as Gronk n Gonzalez). Sanchez doesn't have the winning instinct and capability to win big games in playoffs two years in? RB's like Greene LT and Joe M weren't good enough? Our very Stout D-line couldnt handle other Rb's? Cro and REVIS are not one if not THE best CB tandem in the league?? Dangerous special teams? head coach that would be thrown in jail for beating up the president about how good the jets are. (well what i mean is do u see any other coach in the league more passionate about their team)..... so no i wouldnt trade this team away for anyone (even manning, that aint how we want to win the ship) there is so much potential. so what really happened?... Fans gave up. Really, think about it we did. Teams overcome selfishness when they have the hearts of their fans. Being pushed to greatness. That chill you get when you here J.E.T.S. jets jets jets on tv at an AWAY game! yes, they feel it too. and it pushes them to be great. when they know theyre fighting for a city, a gang green nation and not for a paycheck (fitzpatrick made that way too obvious) We gave up on them way before they gave up on us, and we all destructed like time bombs... its time we unite. we need to push this team to greatness. Have faith, and soon they will too. i rex ryan guarantee it!

You have to learn to differentiate between posts and comments.

Some people that bash any and everything are just people trolling and others are just irate fans. Also, being criticalof the team doesn’t make you not a fan, it’s kind of what these sites are about. Otherwise this is just the same kind of thing offered by newyorkjets.com. This is a site to offer your amateur opinion, to the thin air basically, where it will never be heard or taken into consideration, by anyone of any relevance. Or, maybe i’m wrong?

well the only reason i bring this up is because it is very clear that our thin air opinions made there way all the way into the locker room. we could talk all day about prospects and smaller changes that could help the team but everything i read is everyone wanting step downs from the organization. letting things develop would have immediate better results next year. my entire family is fans of every team in the afc east besides the jets which can be good and bad at times and i tell you what every none jet fan is loving this hatred goin around that were talking about, theres no good outcome to all of it.

Should you choose to test my resolve in this matter, you will be facing a finality beyond your comprehension, and you will not be counting days, or months, or years, but milleniums in a place with no doors.

as fans..

we have the right to point the finger at under-achievers on our team, if one of our players has a bad game we can usually deal with that but when that same player strings together a season full of shit then hell yes we as fans have the right to talk about our frustrations with other fans and single out the culprit and ask for his dismissal ( Shotty, Wayne Hunter,Erc Smith and TE Mulligan come to mind ) …as for the rest of our team I believe most of us as fans are pretty content with them although i do beleive if year 4 of the Sanchize Experiment doesnt produce a quality season ( at least 29 TDs and under 12 INTS ) then we will be calling for his immediate release and to bring in someone capable of leading us to points instead of mediocrity…just because we as a fanbase are known to talk alot ( whether it is good or bad about the team ) doesnt mean we dont bleed green & white 24/7 ..

Ditto!!

We are passionate fans and live & die with our Jets. When they screw up we talk about it, when they do well we talk about it but no matter what in the end they are OUR team.

Although I believe in people's right...

to talk about what we see wrong with the team I do understand his point. There are several occasions in which individuals come in here and basically quit on the team. By that I mean people have come in and made comments along the lines of “the Jets did this and I am ready to stop following them”…while that is not an exact quote I have seen statements close to that. I will however see some of the people here (even some that might be critical of the team at times) stand up and say good ridance to those guys (and I agree with them). The main thing I would hope for from my fellow fans is that we encourage our team even if we don’t like the players…no booing Sanchez during introductions…if he is screwing up during the game then of course show your disapproval. While the Jets’ fanbase is a little bit of an impatient culture I wish sometimes we had patience enough to allow for some pieces to fall into place. I believe it took Bill Cowher 14 years to get the Steelers a Superbowl victory under his watch…we have just completed our 3rd season with Rex as our HC…While I certainly hope it doesn’t take 14 years I think Rex is our guy to get us there but he has to put some pieces together and there is going to be some trial and error. I for one am going to be a Jets fan for the rest of my life…if I have kids I would hope they follow the Jets too. Win or lose a lot of us are here for the long haul!

You have to make it mandatory for your kids,your brothers kids and you sister's kids to grow

up as Jet fans as they will be stronger as they grow up into adulthood.Then they can make their kids Jet fans and on and on
and on the Green and White go.

I wish it was that easy...

my sister married a Cowboys fan…lol. It’s okay because their daughters have an uncle and grandfather that are Jets fans…I think we can corrupt them!

we'll be alright...

were gonna have a pissed off Jet team ready to smack teams around next season. not gonna say an early jump into the offseason is good or 8-8 is what we wanted but it happened and we can start goin forward from here. With having positions needing improvement at de/olb, SS, RT (but i think a long offseason will greatly improve the whole o-line we have already), having the 16th pick in April, there’s is plenty of talent coming into the draft, i think we’ll have some good options there… may have gone overboard with the original post, my bad, the team was gettin some black eyes, frustrating, you guys know it.

New York Jets Fan

Hello!!!! This is NY we are critical of everything. That being said just because we critisize someone or many we don’t support the team. Don’t forget as a jet fan we have taken the backseat to the Giants since 1960. I have been a fan since 1967 and believe me its not easy sometimes. That doesn’t mean that I give up on them even if I do feel like being sick.
This year the defence had holes. But numbers don’t always tell it the way it is. How many times has the defence come on the field after a turnover deep in their own end. Sometimes they hold to a field goal and sometimes they give up a TD or nothing. Those points count against the defence but should be against the offence. How many times has the Defence had to get back up after 10 3 and outs this year? While not needing to score the offence should at least let the defence rest. Alot of the late fourth quarter points were given up by a team that was worn out because the offence couldn’t keep the ball away from the other team.
There are plenty of people to blame in this fiasco but the bottom line is I never wasn’t a Jets fan even though I wanted to kill them all.

Have you ever seen anything like what Captain Queeg(sorry,I meant Captain Holmes) pulled this season.

If he pulled that crap with Joe Klecko and Marty Lyons on the team he would have regretted it.Why didn’t the Jet players step in during practice and straighten this spoiled malcontent out.This lack of unity and discipline worries me more than anything as the Jets move forward
