Thor99 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I am such an a$$hole. In 1999, I was a freshman in college in New England, finally following the NFL closely (the Pats doing well in the Bledsoe era when I was in high school got me started, but I didn't really watch every Sunday until college). I remember cheering when Vinny when out with an injury, Mirer threw an INT, and Adam kicked the winning FG. I didn't realize until years later how much of a sh*tbag it made me for being happy that another human being was significantly injured. I just wanted to apologize for 18 year old me. I hope we break Tom Brady's leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klecko73isGod Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 spoiler alert shut it off at halftime I would like to watch the first half of the 2009 or 1998 AFC Championship Game with the second half of the 2010 AFC Championship Game.

nyjunc Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 it never got to meggett I think it hit a wedge guy. the ball came down around the 30 Meggett needed to be more aggressive, he waited for it to come down. The conditions seemed to affect us more than Denver w/ that play and the missed chip shot by hall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larz Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Meggett needed to be more aggressive, he waited for it to come down. The conditions seemed to affect us more than Denver w/ that play and the missed chip shot by hall. I can't find any video, but I have never seen a kickoff like that in my life, you can't pin it on one guy imho. Another strange Mile High moment occurred on the ensuing Elam kickoff. The ball got caught up in the wind and landed about 20 yards short of the return man. After a mad scramble the Broncos’ Keith Burns emerged from the pile with the football. It was essentially a really long onside kick, and the Broncos were back in business. A few plays later, Elam booted a 44-yard field goal that tied the score at 10. weird stat I found while looking for the video. that jets team was one of only 4 in NFL history to beat 7 teams that wound up in the playoffs that season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will see if someone puts it back up. the AFC east sent 4 teams to the playoffs that yeara nd the Jets went 6-0 against the other 3 AFC east teams to make the playoffs. amazingly enough our lone AFC East loss that year was to 3-13 Indy. 3 of our 4 losses were to bad teams(Bal, SL and Ind).

JOJOTOWNSELL Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 i remember that Vinny was being treated as an afterthought before the season started just like Fitzy is now when its all said and done, who will have had a better Jets career?? Geno or Glenn foley?? Yes I'm that guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgb Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 All I can really focus on is how they overachieved big time. All I can think of is how Vinny tore his Achilles week one the following year. Thus, re-signing Fitz huge mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuscanyTile2 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I agree. I have never felt as deflated and had the optimism of a season sucked out of me as brutally quick as I did on opening day of the 99 season. I truly felt that was our year (along with many other Jets fans and even neutral analysts). What could have been........still pisses me off to this day thinking about Vinny blowing his ACL/MCL/PCL/whateverCL it was that caused him to miss the season. Sent from my SM-N915T using Tapatalk I was at that game that Vinny blew out his ACL. It was typical Jets misfortune.

BowlesMovement Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Thinking of that Broncos game still pisses me off. Up 10-0 and then all the turnovers killed us. Sigh not just up 10-0, Atlanta waiting to get crushed in the SB! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackout Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 We get past Denver and their horse-faced quarterback, we beat Atlanta in the SB. Second half was the most painful 30 minutes in recent Jet's history. yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
