WizeGuy Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 If Saleh shows to be a good coach, then the Jets are in a really good position because I believe Douglas is at least a respectable GM. Wilson has potential to be good, too. I'm not giving up on that kid. There's a slight reason for optimism in Jets land. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanedorf Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Are the Bills not located in NY ? Why can't they be the Kings of NY ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The BILLievers Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Buffalo is technically the king of the state of New York, but the New Jersey Jets and Giants are the "kings" of New York City. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biggie. Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 (edited) In all honesty, the Giants will always be the A team of the boroughs and Jersey with the Jets being the clear B team. The rest of the state are mainly Bills fans. Edited January 14, 2022 by biggie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of the state are mainly Bills fans. It's more nuanced than that. Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the Bronx are going to lean Giants, but Queens, Staten Island, and Long Island are going to be more Jets. Met fans tend to be Jets fans too since Shea Stadium and all. I'd guess the lower NY state counties that border NYC and Jersey have almost no Bills fans - hell you might find more Pats fans than anything. You have to get farther into the state to get to the Bills Mafia. North Jersey, I'd confidently say their are more Giants than Jets. The Giants have a greater history than the Jets by far, and their recent success helps a bunch too. South Jersey is all Eagles if that matters at all.

Metlife is 20 minutes outside of Manhattan. The name isn't for the state, it's for the city. Many NFL teams don't play in the city they are named for - like the Bills who play in Orchard Park. And if NYC wanted the taxes they should've let the Jets build their stadium. They didn't so why cry about it? Theyre still in New Jersey though, its not like the Bills are playing in Canada and claiming NY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The city is New York, New York. Buffalo is a New York state team, and obviously not a New York City team. The NYG and NYJ are New York, NY teams - and while they play in NJ they are no farther from NYC than Orchard Park is from Buffalo. But unlike all these other "major" cities, adding a new stadium in Manhattan (or one of the other boroughs) is practically impossible and ridiculously expensive (the Jets tried and failed). The current Metlife location is convenient: it's a short throw from Secaucus Junction and a straight shot out the Lincoln. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is when you play in a different state, you open yourself to ridicule when you name yourself after the state next door. Why didnt they go north? Its not like the state is one giant city. Plenty of land from what it looks like outsode city limits in NY. Then youd never get ish talk again about it. my assumption is its a tax thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr A W Niloc Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 This is an interesting question. Before and after the draft I took the Jets over Jacksonville. Zach Wilson has been such an unmitigated disaster, though. As inept as the Jets front office is, Jacksonville's is orders of magnitude worse. Neither team is going to contend for the playoffs any time soon but I still think the Jets will be marginally less awful over the next decade.
