these people have been “Institutionalized” and are unable to live a normal football life where good things sometimes happen. I would say Green and Shakin, as well as Shakins multiple personalities, fall into this category. O In fairness to me, my institutionalized is different than Shakin's institutionalized which prolly involved Nurse Ratchett and scrambling orderlies. Admittedly, I do see the storm clouds gathering with our scrawny 40 year old QB and plug-in, ever-rotating OL. I keep picturing the team on its knees mid-game as a cart is driven off the field in a silent Metlife as Zach Wilson warms-up on the sideline. My brain is def. wired that way but that's only because of 50 years of buying the hype only to have Lucy yank the football at the last minute. It's sort of humiliating tbh. i like how the guy who goes from 'aaaargghhh send them to fucking alaska' to 'oh haaaaayy where do we buy superbowel tix' like a swinging door sees pragmatic football fans as "institutionalized"

i was worried about the OL weeks ago but am feeling a litle better...tippman looks like the real deal (i know its been two games against the 2nd unit but hearing the same thing about him in practices).....becton will start if he's not injured...he got beat once or twice the other night but i chalk that up to rust and his confidence in his knee...tuckers a beast...if Rodgers/OL's can keep our dee off the field longer this year that'll be key... A lot of reports today had him running for his life when he didn't get rid of the ball immediately. its called practice...

Wow, serious diss to Ron Middleton the TE coach, by Rodgers, basically calling him a moron. Wow. Hadn't seen the episode so was looking out for this. Dude, he was ribbing him over Kuntz's TD catch after running the wrong route, common. Lmao, realized this later. Was multi-tasking whilst watching (picking nose/scratching balls). Lolgfy

Of all the angst of being a Jets fan this past decade +...no more hoping the QB is going to be the guy or is going to take the 2nd year jump. Rodgers is going to kill the position. The only bullet to avoid is an injury. If he stays healthy, we are relevant.
Can we agree on this bitchez?

i predict you will have skid marks later I’ve seen that the fan base has split in 2 distinct paths since the Rodgers signing. Those who were usually pessimists but have decided to buy in because perhaps it’s different this time, it is our time to finally win it all with a loaded roster and HOF QB, and why not us for once after decades of disappointment. We are enjoying the high expectations, the hype, the excitement and are looking forward to the ride. I would say me, DDNY and Trades among other fall into this happy category. Then there are those who are so tied into the misery, the heartache and heartbreak that they can only see doom and gloom on the horizon, ending in a spectacular failure at some point sooner or later. They believe the jets will never ever win. Never no matter what. As Red said in Shawshank, these people have been “Institutionalized” and are unable to live a normal football life where good things sometimes happen. I would say Green and Shakin, as well as Shakins multiple personalities, fall into this category. On the one hand, it could end in despair in a lonely empty flophouse room with “Shakin wuz here” scrawled into the wall. But, maybe not. We shall see how it all goes, but I’m looking forward to the season and seeing how dominant this team can be. What is this "happy" you speak of?

I'm certainly ready and giddy with anticipation to see what this team can actually do with the starters in the game.
