For much of Sunday afternoon, New York Jets fans were thinking (and, perhaps, saying aloud) two specific things:
- I can’t believe this is happening.
- I knew this would happen.
The Jets fell defeated to a winless team for the second time this season, this time coming at the hands of the Cincinnati Bengals.
The other shoe has officially dropped. The mirage has been lifted.
It’s the familiar story of an entire fanbase. Just when its beloved Gotham (formerly Gang) Green lifts spirits to the highest of heavens, emotions come plummeting down to Earth.
