How's this for a motivational speech?

Weeks away from the regular season, New York Jets head coach Todd Bowles was asked to deliver a message to the fan base. This is what he opted for:

"I would tell them that we're not going to be a terrible team," Bowles said to Mike Francesa of WFAN, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN.

"We're going to come out there and fight, and blood, sweat, and tears will go out to the city and our fans, and we're going to win more games than everybody ever expected."

The current over/under line on wins for the Jets during the 2017 season is set at 4.5, according to Bodog. That means five or more wins would definitely be characterized as a success.
