The Jets weren't supposed to be good. Actually, the preseason talk was just how bad the 2017 season would be? One win? Two? None? This had the makings of potentially the worst season in franchise history.
And maybe that's why they play the game?
While the Jets weren't good (a final record of 5-11), they were far from the inept dysfunctional mess so many thought they'd be. They gave it their all each game, fought until the final whistle. Had it not been for a few questionable calls and bad bounces, they might have had a chance to snap their now seven year playoff drought.
