Jets fan confidence is high despite loss to Buccaneers

It is time to bring you the results of our weekly SB Nation Reacts surveys. The Jets lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 3 to fall to 0-3 on the season. A game that looked like it was headed for a lopsided result got tight in the fourth quarter. The Jets rallied from 20 points down to take the lead with 1:47 left on a Will McDonald blocked field goal he returned for a touchdown. The Bucs, however, were able to drive into field goal range and connect on a game-winner as time expired.

How did this impact fan confidence?

That is actually a slight uptick from last week’s 45 percent. You usually don’t see fan confidence increase after a game where the team falls to 0-3. I’m guessing the comeback effort left a number of fans feeling good about the team.

How about head coach Aaron Glenn. Glenn has become a bit of a lightning rod during the team’s rough start. This week we asked whether Glenn will be the next coach to lead the Jets to the Playoffs. That struck me as a good way to gauge confidence after a difficult start.

The 0-3 start clearly hasn’t dampened long-term confidence in Glenn for most of the fanbase.
