I think the easiest non-reason you could give is that Thursday night football makes no sense.

No, it really doesn't. And there's a mixed view on if we should even have it. You made the comments earlier about how difficult it would be to play in it. But we've seen it throughout this season. We don't get the best football on Thursday night. And sometimes we get weird results. And there's no question, based on the results of the first 10 games of this season,

or nine games of this season for the Jets, the Patriots are far better.

They're far better in every aspect.

But football, footballs.

And we see it every week.

And so that's probably the best evidence you could come up with besides diving into football reasons,

because most football reasons would point to the

Patriots easily. Yeah, the only thing that would help you from a jet standpoint is, wait, who's out? Oh, Bouté's out in this game, right? Oh, okay, Austin Hooper's out in this game. So I guess we have it a little advantage, but then... Do they? They still have bad receivers. Stefan Diggs is still playing. I was going to say everybody else is

stepping up and playing great football.

You know what scares me the most in terms of that side of the ball is stopping the run? Because that is an area of this jet defense that I wonder if they're going to be able to do that tonight. And the Patriots are starting to run the football better. We saw it last week against Tampa. Yeah, but that was mostly a couple of big runs. Well, a couple of big runs can make a big difference. No, you're right. Just, you've got to be technically sound. I mean, he lost a lot of yards in this game, one yard runs, negative four yard runs, but he popped two, one for 30-something, one for 50-something. So that's how you make a huge no last one was 69 yards nice I mean

and they don't have the guy Vrabel's phone-in-love with this. Terrell Jennings looks like he's not going to play the game. Yeah, exactly. I realize that the kids like to move their hands like they're juggling and start laughing when they hear two numbers connected like 6-7, right? Yep. And we, as immature adults, like to just say the word nice when 6-9 is connected. I mean, we're both immature, even if the meetings are very, very, very, very different. Bill on Long Island, what's up, Bill? Hey, guys, great show. Appreciate it. I get three quick comments. Evan, I'm your psychiatrist. I have to ask you a question. If you think the Jets will win tonight, how long have you had these illusions of fantasy? Well, first of all, did I say the Jets are going to win tonight? I said they would make me proud if they want tonight. I'm answering Aaron Glenn's question. But as a jet fan, do I honestly think they're

going to win tonight? Do I honestly think they're going to win tonight? Kind of. Really?

So obviously they're covering. No, honestly, I think sometimes with a short week, I have a tough time

registering things in my brain. Every part of me as a fan

tells me that this will be embarrassing because that's what happens on prime time to the New York Jets.

But it's football and it's a weird sport. And I want to believe. That's the thing. As a fan,

you really, really want to believe. And even making this a game. Now, I'm not going to say this tomorrow afternoon. I

promise you this. Chet's Lose a Heartbreaker 2724. I think I've shown you. I'm not going to come on and say, well, we battled and we kept it close. I'm not going to do it. You're not taking the moral victory. No, I'm not. But I think right now at 238 in the afternoon, a couple of hours before kickoff, I can easily say,

hey, I would take that.

Because it would make me proud,

all right, we were in the afternoon, a couple of hours before a kickoff, I can easily say, hey, I would take that because it would make me proud, all right, we were in the game. But I know that at 1115, I'm going to mother bleep everybody if they don't win. So I think that's one of those easy things to say at 240. I cannot believe we're already back at a place here in New York where everything has stayed the same with our locals, and we're already back in the post Belichick Eradu.
