On Friday morning, residents of New York and New Jersey received an earth-shaking surprise. No, that wasn’t the sound of Breece Hall crashing through defenders or Aaron Rodgers entering the field at MetLife Stadium.
A 4.8 magnitude earthquake happened roughly five miles north of Whitehouse Station, New Jersey, about 10:23 a.m. ET. According to reports, earthquakes were reported in Maine and Virginia.
Although it was modest in comparison, an incident like this is naturally unfamiliar territory for many northeasterners who are not accustomed to the ground shaking beneath their feet. However, as typically, the internet reacted quickly with jokes.
New York Jets fans on social media were no exception. Jets fans responded to Friday’s earthquake with some amusing speculations about what caused the natural calamity to occur. Here are some of the better explanations:
New York Jets are expecting for a seismic leap in club fortunes in 2024.
The Jets restructured their roster this summer, signing Tyron Smith, Mike Williams, and Haason Reddick, among others, with the intention of participating in the Super Bowl in 2024.
The impact of Aaron Rodgers’ torn Achilles last season is still felt across the club, but the hope is that Rodgers will be able to return healthy in 2024 and lead the Jets to the promised land.
Rodgers will be teamed with a new-look offensive line, a rejuvenated receiver corps, and possibly an even better defense. It’s difficult to express how much the Jets have improved this offseason.
Smith, Morgan Moses, and John Simpson help rebuild an offensive line that was responsible for many of the Jets’ problems last season. The aim now is that the problematic line has been repaired.
Of course, reaching the pinnacle of the Super Bowl would be a seismic leap after 13 seasons of playoff-free football. Nonetheless, Jets fans are confident that Florham Park will be the epicenter of a new era of Jets football in 2024.
As the dust settles on both the earthquake and the Jets’ offseason successes, one thing is certain: this team is leaving a seismic wake in the NFL landscape, leaving supporters trembling with excitement. Stay safe out there, everyone.
