Duluoz Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 Just for fun, I like reading posts from the boards of other losing teams (yes, misery loves company)...here's a real beauty from the NY Jets board posted during tonight's rout by the mighty NE Pats. See ya - last post 49 yrs old. Season ticket holder for many, many years (not anymore). Always travel to a couple road games a year. Live out of town and have directv to watch jet games. NFL game pass to get Jet pre season games. Haven't missed a single down of Jets football for 30 years. I'm out until Gase is out. My wife doesn't believe me. My kids don't believe me. I just turned off the TV. i won't be visiting Jetnation. I won't be reading any articles. I'll find out when a friend let's me know. The team has broken me and I'm out. I'd rather spend time with my kids and be in a good mood. Tired of being a laughingstock. Tired of the excuses. Tired of the same crappy feeling year in and year out. Not one to toot own horn but if you knew the cash I dumped into this franchise you'd all puke. And they've pushed me away. Hard to believe but Gase was the final straw. He is a fraud, quitter. Just like me I guess. See ya'll. Always loved reading about our boys on this site. Maxman - great stuff. I'm done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catfish Bob Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 I'm in the same boat. After 30+ years following the Bengals I think I'm finally broken. I actually find myself hating the team now. I hope the Rams beat us by 65. I hope someone knocks the dog piss out of mixon and into early retirement. I hope we lose every game by 50 or more and if Zac Taylor is back next year I hope they go 0-16 again. I find myself hoping that a player running out of bounds clobbers Taylor and he has to leave the game. I cheer when Dalton throws picks because it confirms what we've been saying since that wildcard game in Indy, that dude is a fucking joke. I find myself now just wishing that they would move the team far away and change the name so I could never care about the NFL ever again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Tigre Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 Go to any forum, of any sport, and messages like this will be on every last one of them at some point in time. "I've done this...I've paid that...I'm leaving...". Then, once some turnaround happens, they are back--bouncy as spring lambs. Or, they just never leave. It's a fickleness that is the nature of the modern sports spectator. I suppose, in some odd manner, it is a sign of caring. Will say this though: once the fire goes out, whether to care or not becomes easy. Not sure this poor bastard will ever really get there, but one never knows.

The only time they were on TV here this year was against Shittsburgh, and I think I watched the first couple of drives and turned it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine being tied for the worst offense in the NFL and having missed the playoffs for now 9 straight seasons will wear on you. Both Miami and the Jets have scored 63 points in 6 games. That is bad. In contrast the Bengals have scored 114 points in 7 games. Should give you a good idea just how bad they really are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just decided to randomly go to a team forum which ostensibly should not be complaining about anything (LA Ramsfans.com). Here is a sampling from just this past week: Goff is a statue And Gurley’s a quitter. Bring in Bortles Can’t be worse then Goff And this is after a road win...are they satisfied? No, it was simply a,win after 3 losses. It's academic now. Rams aren't a team worth paying attention to in the race anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
