Again? Really?
Yes, again. It’s happened yet again for the New York Jets and their diehard fans who flocked to Carolina this past weekend.
Again, in that their team couldn’t match the hype, ultimately falling by a 19-14 final to the Carolina Panthers. Again, in the sense that the injuries are instantly and infuriatingly piling up. Again, in that another former quarterback sought and capitalized on sweet revenge (see Ryan Fitzpatrick in 2017 and Chad Pennington in 2008).
The once jubilant mood that celebrated Joe Douglas’s executive prowess and Robert Saleh’s sideline enthusiasm has turned quicker than a New York minute—faster than a dinner party atmosphere after a faux pas involving Borat and a bag.
