Misery Index · Uneasy
Jets fans shrugging at a 31-24 loss to Detroit because moral victories and a healthy Sadiq beat whatever last year was.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse. ● biggest swings
What happened
G.Smith drove them to the DET 1 with a shot to G.Wilson, then a J.Goff-to-I.TeSlaa 49-yarder and a J.Gibbs touchdown flipped it, with a C.Clark strip-sack sealing the door. K.Sadiq looked the part and the two-point conversion to S.Shepard briefly mattered, but an offensive line this expensive shouldn't be getting its quarterback sacked into fumbles in a one-score game. Fun to watch, ugly to explain.
What fans said
“I liked the fight. But it feels useless if Breece and GW5 are out for any time.”

“Being angry over a loss like this actually feels much better than the apathy we’ve felt in recent years.”

Before the usual boring 🤡’s start the tired ass FIRE Glenn narrative today.. Let’s look at what’s really happening 👇🏽 Geno has played 2 good games so far not turning the ball over + kept them in the game vs Lions (2nd half) went toe to toe with Goff in that stadium w/o his #2
