    I’d say I’m an optimist, but I was one of the few souls complaining after the victory over Tennessee. I’m not really a pessimist either I suppose, because this last string of losses hasn’t gotten me too far down (though I was furious while they were happening).

    It is what it is, the veteran leadership just needs to step-up before this turns into a travesty (ala TN Titans). Even without Jenkins, the Jets still have the talent and the leadership to make it to the playoffs. Their backs are against the wall, It’s time for the big players to put up or shut up.

    I fear that we have been duped by another false messiah.

    I miss the days when we were losers, but dignified losers. We would get beat, try to look for the upside, and try harder next time. Now we have a roster full of big mouths who are more concerned with telling the world how great they are rather than demonstrating their worth.

    the only people I give credit to are those who say fire schotty….my sister knows his play calling…
    1st down – up the middle to Thomas “one-yard” Jones
    2nd down – up the middle to Thomas “one-yard” Jones
    3rd down – a 4 yard pass which is either knocked down or caught and tackled immediately
    OVER AND OVER AND OVER…

    SCHOTTY IS HORRRRRRRRRRIBBBBLLE..he is everything wrong with this team..and I don’t get how Woody doesnt see it…Tannenbaum is having gay sex with Schotty – thats the only way i can justify it
