Jets1958 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Me too. Has it really been that long? As a 10 year old I expected it to happen every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those three teams all had one thing in common (that the current Jets don't have): character. Same for the '86 Mets. I always thought Savage+69+avatar pic was all one message.

I always thought Savage+69+avatar pic was all one message. Sad story about the 86 Met team.. I had a good friend since we were kids who was a huge Red Sox fan and we were watching the series together in CT. When the Sox were 1 out away in game 6 I said Congrats it been a long time for you.. He said they will blow it I just feel it..And then it started a single here the Mookie Wilson Buckner snafu..He said that's it no way will they win game 7 I'm done.. Sadly he died 3 days before they won in 2004.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuidoYastrzemski Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 ....I remember watching as a kid. Me too. Back then my Patriots sucked so bad and had such a weak following that many games were blacked out and instead, we watched Jets games on Sundays. The AFL was looked down upon from the NFL and so it was easy for us all to root for the Jets that Superbowl. Add Joe Namath's charisma and celebrity and it was a game for the ages and the win truly changed the future of football forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuidoYastrzemski Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Namath and the Jets won for the whole AFL that year.. It was the defining impetus for the two leagues to merge. If the AFL Jets had gotten trounced, the 2 leagues may have never merged and one of them might have gone the way of the USFL or XFL. Winning that championship in such a surprising fashion totally legitamized the AFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
