Sal has officially heard enough relentless optimism from Jets fans after Monday night’s win over the Bills.
His co-host BT went off on an epic rant about the team still being on track for a playoff berth, while even the long suffering Joe Benigno expressed belief that Gang Green could even still win the division.
Sal can’t believe what he is hearing, and he wants it to stop.
“It’s over! Joe, you know it! BT, you know it!” Sal said. “The season is over! It went down, sadly, with Aaron Rodgers.
“Now you guys, you delusional Jets fans, are relying on Zach Wilson, who has accomplished squat in this league, to take you to the postseason? What is going on here? Come back down to earth!”
To be clear, Sal isn’t saying the Jets are doomed for a losing season. The rest of the roster is more than playoff caliber, but the problem is, the quarterback is not.
“I think they can make the postseason…I’ll give you an answer after Sunday afternoon,” Sal said after BT asked if the Jets will make the playoffs. “We saw one week of football. I know what the Jets are gonna be. They’ll be OK. I like Zach Wilson, but I don’t believe in Zach Wilson…I think the defense will be good enough to keep them in the mix. But I think them making the playoffs will depend on the rest of the AFC.”
