Moral Victories?

What is going on? I'm doing pretty good.

I mean, I don't know if this is a common sentiment among Jets fans right now, if this is unpopular, but I'm kind of feeling good about the team after this past week.

I mean, one of the best praises I can give the team right now is that I'm looking forward to the next game.

And that is not something you say often about the Jets.

And again, I know they're one and two.

They lost two straight games.

So, you know, maybe I'm leaning to the optimistic side and not everyone agrees with that.

But that's kind of how this game left me feeling.

So I don't know if you feel similar or how many of the people out there listening feel the same way.

But I kind of came out of that game feeling like, oh, all right.

That was kind of my

reaction.

I don't think it'd be so black and white where if you lose, they suck.

If they win, they're great.

I think there's a gray area.

I think Jets fans are a little bit beaten and battered women of domestic violence who are just so used to pain that any little sign of positivity can keep us in the relationship kind of deal.

where I can acknowledge that the Jets have improved and it's nice, but it's only going to last for so long, right? Most teams lose in the NFL by one score.

So if they continue to lose by one score, yeah, we're not historically bad like we were last year.

We're normal bad, but I'm still not accepting normal bad, right? Like if we're five and 12, but oh my God, you know, 10 of those losses are by one score.

Does it really matter? So I can both acknowledge that, yeah, there's some positives with the offense, with Gino Smith, with Tadeek.

Garrett Wilson's playing like a legit top five receiver.

But at the end of the day, it does not necessarily matter unless the Jets actually win football games.

And they're one and two right now, regardless of the moral victory stuff.

So I'm kind of in the middle of it.

I understand the positivity, but if they keep losing, it doesn't mean shit.
