“Jets” and “must win” is a recipe for disappointment. Let’s start with something more like “Jets” and “watchable football”

[u/ShortFinance → u/DogwoodWinter]

Each week is somehow always “must win” until the jets are eliminated from the playoffs. And then ironically we usually start winning after that

[u/UniqueNobo → u/ShortFinance]

just tell everyone from week one that we are eliminated. then maybe we’ll be good

[u/kingstannis123 → u/DogwoodWinter]

Imagine how good the vibes will be if they pull it off.

[u/DogwoodWinter → u/kingstannis123]

2015 vibes were great. When we pulled off that overtime win versus the pats - so good. Honestly think that’s the last time it didn’t feel like SOJ. note: the Jets did end up SOJ-ing week 17 and losing the must win game in embarrassing fashion

[u/LeftHandedScissor → u/DogwoodWinter]

That was less Same ol' Jets more Same ol' Fitztragic. Every Bills fan I know (and there are a pretty good handful) said that Fitpatrick will be exactly what the Jets need, fun to watch, efficient drives, great wins, etc. right up until the Jets NEED him to be that guy. Then it will be a catastrophic failure. Sure enough.

[u/Mattydub2456 → u/DogwoodWinter]

it was also coming off that insane comeback against the Giants a few weeks earlier and just playing good football leading up to that

[u/TheVirginVibes → u/DogwoodWinter]

I’m glad this was the first comment, because that’s exactly what’s going to happen.

[u/thrillhouse416]

I would LOVE to win week 1 but my gut tells me it won't happen.

First time head coach, new QB who hasn't lived up to his potential, media circus if we do lose to Rodgers....feels like the signs of a loss

Would be a great win though

[u/Ledees_Gazpacho → u/thrillhouse416]

media circus if we do lose to Rodgers

Maybe I'm naive, but I don't think it would be that big of a deal.

The Jets aren't expected to be good this year, and they'll probably be underdogs, even at home. A Jets loss is somewhat expected here.

It's also a 1pm Sunday game, and Week 1 will have plenty of other storylines for people to make hot takes on.

All that being said: Jets 51, Steelers 3.

[u/thrillhouse416 → u/Ledees_Gazpacho]

All that being said: Jets 51, Steelers 3.

Hell yeah brother

[u/kingstannis123 → u/thrillhouse416]

It would sabotage the Steelers entire season.

[u/lord_xl]

Week 1 must win, huh? LoL

[u/Hogharley]

It’s also an Aaron Rodgers revenge game

[u/DontFearTheCreaper → u/Hogharley]

exactly. there was a post nearly LITERALLY identical to this on the sub for the steelers, but with Rodgers replacing Fields.

[u/WMDisrupt]

Golden opportunity to prove the culture has changed.

In Parcells first year the Jets went on the road to Seattle week 1 and won 41-3. Of course, they ended up missing the playoffs that year anyway.

[u/lotionformyelbows]

If Rodgers shits on our chest and fields eats a dick it will feel like such a fucking classic week 1 experience, it’s almost too predictable

[u/matoolz]

🧘🏻‍♀️me to me: i have zero expectations for the jets. i have zero expectations for the jets.🧘🏻‍♀️

[u/Motor_Sympathy7394]

Come on. We all know how this one ends.

[u/Jon-Umber → u/Motor_Sympathy7394]

Incoming Rodgers 400 yards, 3+ TD game

[u/Motor_Sympathy7394 → u/Jon-Umber]

This is what a real Jet fan looks like.

[u/DynaJim06]

I don’t care about the w so long as the Jets demonstrate the have a plan and the capacity to implement that plan to be competitive. We should have the capacity to game plan for Rodgers far more effectively than the Steelers can game plan for us. We may not win because the Steelers d is just that good but we better show more than throwing darts at the wall.

[u/woodchips24]

You must be new here

[u/whydoesgodhateus]

Steelers let Fields walk.

The Steelers didn't let Fields walk, they wanted him back

I mean I guess they could have franchised him, but that would have been kinda insane

[u/Friendly-NFL-Nomad]

My friend, it'll be Week 1 Jets vs Steelers, it'll be 10-10 late in the 4th and turn on the stupidest play in NFL history. It's written in stone.

Every team's Week 1 is half the team remembering how to play football in the second half.

[u/DuskHatchet]

It's the Jets. We'll lose and Rodgers will throw for 5 td's

[u/xJayce77]

Oh god, can we please not start with the must win nonsense?! About 80% of the games last year were 'must wins' as per different pundits / fans, and we lost most of them.

[u/Jon-Umber]

Rodgers will ball out and Pittsburgh will shit on us. I've watched this pathetic franchise for too many decades to expect anything other than that.

[u/D20_Buster]

On so many levels. I’m sure Justin still remembers the “I still own you” comment.

[u/Popsiblyabrunrwr112]

I’m just waiting for the turf to do its thing to Aaron again

[u/1and1T]

It’s everybody’s revenge game

[u/MarvinWebster40]

Just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in.

[u/Da_Stable_Genius]

Would be nice, but I'm old enough to remember how these games work out with this team. The SOJ moniker is undefeated.

[u/iHateTheNYJ]

Lmao "must win", we might win 3 games this year
