I moved to London on Jan 1, 1999 for 6 months. I remember watching the AFC Championship game like it was yesterday. Megget let that kick off fall in front of him, Chrebet slipping on a short post and the ball landing in the safeties arms, Byars . . . damn it Byars. You simply cannot blow a 10 point lead on the road with 1/2 hr left to get to the show. I beat up every bus stop sign between the pub and my flat that night. To top it off, my father has been a season ticket holder since they were the Titans and I had found out earlier that day that we had won two tickets in the lottery for tickets to the Super Bowl.

Jason Taylor and Zack Thomas?? What are you on ludes….the Jets have destroyed these guys…yeah, they are great players, but Jet killers…I think not. These guys cry when thinking about the Jets, just like we do when we think back on Shula not covering the Orange Bowl field in ’83.

I still can’t think about 1998- that Broncos game was the only time I have teared up over over a sporting event. Granted I was completely bombed by the time the game ended but still those were legit tears.

ummmmmm,, herm edwards anyone? i dont actually believe he did such a terrible job, but the fact that almost any conversation having to do with our latest personnel moves has something to do with edwards making a mess of everything really kinda makes me wonder why you arent all ranting about our old coach, who mangini felt had to completely redo the roster because of his damage.

Also i have a plan for a top ten soon. either funniest jets momoents or craziest jets names. idk why i just wanna see what you come up with

Dave75,
Yes the Broncos beat us in that game, but Elway didn’t really play all that well. We lost the game due to 4 fumbles and 2 INTs in that game. Elway was 13-34 173 yds, 1 TD, 0 INT, 3 sacks given up (also 3 rushes for 13yds). That’s not exactly a Jets Killer.

Zorn pretty good?!? He pretty much sucked, unless he played the Jets. Here’s his lifetime stats, a 53% completion pct., 30 more INTs to TDs and a 67.3 QB rating and his Seahawks teams never cracked .500. He stunk and the Seahawks stunk; yet, he was 6-0 against the Jets. Now, I really need that walk.

Stabler was the QB on championship-calibre Raiders teams when he faced mediocre and, mostly bad, Jets teams. He’s like Jim Kelly…they were killers of most AFC teams during their eras.

Another obscure Jets killer: Don Hasselbeck, the Pats 2nd string TE who cheap shotted Joe Klecko and ruined his career. Klecko was on his back with his legs in the air and Hasselbeck went into his legs like he was up against the sled at practice. Just a vicious, cowardly hit on a defenseless player out of the play. I’m getting angry all over again. I better take a walk outside.

oh puh-leez.
nobody remembers steve grogan and stanley morgan carving them up?

have to admit zorn was a good one. that game was a shock, but that zorn turned out to be pretty good took away some of that sting.

i’ll take credit for Grogan, good call on Stabler, could add Cliff Branch as well
