nyjunc Posted February 25, 2020 Author Share Posted February 25, 2020 The game Dennis Byrd was paralyzed. I remember this moment vividly, it was only a year earlier Lions OL Mike Utley was paralyzed and from that moment on every time I saw a player down I always tried to see if they were moving. I didn't see Dennis moving. They drove him off the field while the next play was starting and I watched him the whole way. Just a sad day in Jets history. 1992 vs Kansas City 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyjunc Posted February 27, 2020 Author Share Posted February 27, 2020 The week after Byrd got hurt, one of the best games in Jets history (that meant nothing as far as the standings go). 1992 at Buffalo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means we've only had 1 home game in the divisional round of the playoffs since we won the Superbowl in 1969. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting in 02 WC teams couldn't host in the WC round and outside of 02 we were a WC team every other postseason since though we almost hosted the 2009 AFC championship game- if Baltimore would have beat the colts in the divisional round we would have hosted them the next week.

That's right. 3 of the 5 games we hosted were WC games. Otherwise it would have only been 2 home playoff games since 69 - with one div champion being a 9-7 team. Any way you want to slice it, it's pretty pathetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sat in the 5th row in the end zone Louis Aguiar had the ball snapped off his head. The wind was brutal and the metal bleacher seats were like ice. It was easily the worst played game I ever witnessed. The Jets won but anyone there that day lost. Despite coming off a brutal 9-6 loss at home to the putrid Colts the week before, with the win the Jets record was 8-5 and they were in control of their playoff destiny. Of course as typical of that era, the Jets went 0-3, finished the season 8-8 and missed the playoffs by one game. This includes the final week of the season vs Houston when the Oilers sat all the starters and we still got drubbed by Cody Freakin Carlson 24-0. A brutal time to be a Jets fan.

That was a frustrating year they finished 8-8, but blew games against the Eagles, Raiders and Colts. What really pissed me off also was that everything broke right for them to make the playoffs after they lost that heartbreaker to the Bills in the 2nd to last week of the season. Miami lost Monday night to the Chargers and then lost in OT to the Patriots on the final week of the regular season. This allowed the Jets to control their own destiny against an Oiler team on Sunday Night Football that had nothing to play for. They didn't even play Moon at QB. Embarrassingly, the Jets looked lost and unprepared for the game. I was so pissed off!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt Micheals did a hell of a job. He took over possibly the worst roster in the NFL in 1977 and patiently built it up through the draft reaching the AFC Title game in the 1982 season. He then gets fired for non-football related issues and the same team under Walton drops to 7-9 in 1983. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuscanyTile2 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Brutal MNF loss. The "fun" starts at 2:17:26 with Al Michaels' prophetic line. Interesting stat too: This game was crazier than I remembered. Cap Boso wearing some turf on his helmet (I don't want to give away the details of this play in case others have forgotten too).

Ken was not very good at that stage of his career, Coslet hated him and handed the job to nagle who wasn't ready and wasn't ever going to be ready. 1992 is the worst year I can ever remember, even worse than 3-13 '95 or 1-15 '96 because we had high hopes. -Year before they made the playoffs in year 2 of the Coslet era -the playoffs were the expectation in 1992 with a young QB that was supposed to lead the franchise back to prominence (I remember the TV commercial for the game on NBC that week- "Broadway Browning Nagle leads the Jets into Atlanta") -went 5-0 in preseason (played HOF game that year) -week 2 Lageman goes down for the year -season is over by week 4 -Al Toon is forced to retire -Dennis Byrd is paralyzed and never plays again. Just an awful, awful year but this particular game gave us hope. Even losing they came back from a big deficit on the road and had a chance with a young QB who put up big numbers. Unfortunately that was the height of the Nagle era 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
