After six weeks the New York Jets are 3-3 which is the record many predicted they would have had even with Aaron Rodger’s at quarterback but not Zach Wilson.
Zach Wilson does not have to lead the New York Jets to victory on Sunday afternoon against the defending NFC Champion Philadelphia Eagles to have a successful game. Wilson just can't be the obvious reason that Gang Green loses.
New York Jets owner Woody Johnson Jr. purchased the NFL franchise in 1999. In the first 10 seasons as CEO of New York's AFC organization, Johnson's teams went to the playoffs 6 times. Fast forward and they haven't been back in a dozen years.
Third year New York Jets quarterback is preparing for a much different Week 2 of the 2023 NFL season than anyone ever expected. That goes for head coach Robert Saleh and about 5 million Gang Green fans, as well.
New York Jets fans went into the 2023 season with the hopes and dreams of, if not possibly going to the Super Bowl for the first time in 54 years, at least going to the playoffs for the first time in 13 years. Some of the older Gang Green fans went into the 1999 season with similar 'Super' aspirations.
