Gen X Jet Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 http://www.raiders.com/news/article-1/Raiders-vs-Jets-Through-the-Decades/f703364a-ae95-4dc5-bdd0-59f7556b9d13 Have to say the 30-10 loss in 2002 was the most memorable for me (born in '78). We had just come off the resounding win against Peyton and the Colts and the Raiders showed the world how to jump routes on Noodle-arm and it was never quite the same since. Ah being a Jets fan is the life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roscoeword Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Last time both those teams were really good, it was Namath throwing to Maynard and Sauer, and Darryl Lamonica throwing to Belitnokof and Warren Wells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QB had to be the toughest guy on the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor99 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 How about when they trotted out Tim Brown's entire extended family and his plumber for his 10,000th catch? They completely stopped the game for that shizz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lith Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 How about when they trotted out Tim Brown's entire extended family and his plumber for his 10,000th catch? They completely stopped the game for that shizz. Speaking of Tim Brown, how about the game where Rich Kotite thought a converted QB playing his first game at corner should match up against Brown.

I think I read that Vance Joseph is a DB coach somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roscoeword Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 the namath/ davidson stuff was when the NFL was a mans league, lol can you imagine those hits today ? QB had to be the toughest guy on the team It was brutal - no protecting the qb like they do today. I remember Ben Davidson smashing Otis Taylor of K.C. (those were also huge rivalries) while he was down, and a fight broke out. It was like watching WWF where Ben Davidson is the villian, and the Chiefs were the good guys. But it's weird, because as tough as the AFL was, they were huge underdogs to the NFL in the superbowl, as if they were pussy cats compared to the rough and tough NFL. And we know the end - Jets beat highly favored Colts, and the next year K.C. beat the big bad Vikings. So much for the AFL being soft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can put that one up there with 1990 NFC Championship game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much for the AFL being soft. agreed. there was nothing soft about the AFL. head slaps and clothesline hits were legal. you had to be crazy to go over the middle.
