Such a great memory. I don’t know why, maybe because I always felt Sanchez was a pick six away from disaster, but that playoff run was phenomenal, edge of your seat stuff. Lots of great memories rekindled in this thread. I’m starting to think @The Crimson King Is a brother from another mother, lol. Every time he posts about something from the past, I feel like we’re living in a parallel universe. He’s done it quite a few times, not just this thread.

I still get emotional to this day just thinking about it. A stadium of 80,000 people going crazy, all with tears streaming down our cheeks. Those of you who were there know exactly what I'm talking about. 1993 vs Denver, an amazing moment. I remember watching the cart take Byrd off the field vs KC the season before. The next play started before he was off the field but I couldn't take me eyes off him as i hadn't seen him move and ever since Mike Utley in 1991 I always watched for movement in injured players.

Lith Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Wild Card playoff in Indy in 2010. Drove down to Indy for that one with my son. Went out to local BWW near Lucas Oil Stadium before the game. 2 of us seated at a table for 6 or 8. Hostess asked if we minded if they sat other Jet fans with us. Pretty soon we had a couple dozen Jet fans at and around our table. Had a blast. And then once we got inside the stadium it was even better. Defense with a stop to force the FG with a minute left. Cromartie's kick return. Caldwell calling the timeout. Sanchez hitting Braylon to get into the red zone. Folk kicking the game winner, being on the road for a dramatic playoff win, and spending the weekend with my son. Could not have been much better. We tried to do it all over again two weeks later for the Championship Game in Pittsburgh. That memory is not quite as good as the one from Indy.

Damndest thing I've ever seen in NFL football on a kickoff. Changed the complexion of the game. So weird. The kickoff wasn't the opening KO of the second half. It was the KO after Denver scored to cut our lead to 10-7 in the 3rd. We held them to a fg. The turning point in that game was right after we scored to make it 10-0 in the 3rd, the second play from scrimmage elway hit McCaffrey on a bomb and the game changed from there.

nyjunc Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 The two greatest games I have ever attended were the 2002 finale vs GB. What a crazy rollercoaster of emotions needing Cleveland or Miami to lose and looking like Cleveland could lost but they won then looking like Miami would win then seeing the vinatieri kick beat Miami and the Jets dominate the Packers from there. The other was at NE in the 2010 playoffs. No explanation really needed, this was the greatest win in team history that didn't take place in the 1968 season. But my favorite game of all time was when I was around 8 years old and my dad took me to my first game vs buffalo at Shea in 1983. I have vivid memories and they have grown more special since I lost my Dad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His taking me to the games as a boy is why I am a Jets fan and why I am here. He meant well. Don't blame him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me offer some KRL type observations, because that was my era of watching football, and I loved the jets and 49ers too.. 1. We see how their superbowl defense (they had won the superbowl a few years earlier) was still intact, and still quite good, and we still had the great Emerson Boozer, and Riggins who was the new Matt Snell,only faster plus Caster, Maynard, Bell -- so how did we not come close to repeating if we had a superbowl caliber defense and great offensive players? Because Namath kept getting hurt, and we dept trotting out BobDavis and Al Woodall, who stunk. It was a tremendous waste of potentially great seasons 2. Riggins is in his first year here- can't you see what a force he is? Look how big and strong, he was also fast. The greatest memory for me was watching him turn upfield after catching a screen pass or flair. he was the best. This memory of Riggins turning up field is my favorite JET memory, to answer this thread. 3. The 49ers had two very cool corners in Bruce Taylor and Jimmy Johnson. Bruce Taylor was the brother of Net guard Brian Taylor, who was traded for Nate ARchibald... How's that for a cool family. Bruce was getting burned here, but he was an impact guy, also returned punts. 4. 49ers had Vic Washington and receiver Gene Washington. There was also a receiver named Gene Washington on the Minnesota Vikings at the time, and they were both very good. How confusing. 5. Notice the humility of players when Richard Caster scored his touchdown 6 Notice how Cedric Hardman (he was a beast) didn't get a roughing the passer on Namath. Was a different era Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I recall my initial thought was it was some kind of mis-hit or pooch kick. I might have been distracted by the putz behind me throwing peanuts at me periodically during the game because I was sporting a Chrebet jersey. After the game, I returned to the frat house to find my room waste deep in orange and blue balloons. I attended Colorado State University. I actually attended two Jet games at Old Mile High. The other was Neil O'Donnell's first game with Kotite on opening day 1996. Broncos 31- Jets 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostOfGlennFoley Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 I was in 6th grade in 1998 when my parents brought me to Ralph Wilson Stadium in Buffalo to watch the Vinny-led Jets beat the Flutie-led Bills, 17-10. I still have the Chrebet Jersey I wore that day somewhere... Oh, and wildcard choice? The first two games of 2009. The home opener was great, but watching the Jets smack the Texans in the mouth seemed like a statement for years to come.

That was a great day especially after all the years of losing. I was also at miami 6 days earlier for that huge Sunday night game when we beat the dolphins to clinch a playoff berth. Miami fans were not known for being loud but that night they were and it may have been the loudest crowd I have ever experienced even though there are at least 30% Jet fans there.

dcJet Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Supe III. Joe is the reason I became a fan. Close second. My first game at Shea Stadium. I was 22 and sitting in the lower level. The upper deck end zones did the dueling Jets chant and I got chills. I cheered as hard as I could. The next day I was on the waiting list for season tickets. We were a passionate fan base before Woody priced us out. I only had to wait one year - the Jets were finishing up 3 consecutive 3 win seasons. I got 'em in '78 and the team got good real quick.

Jets won behind Vinny T & the feeling at the Meadowlands was electric!!!! For the time being we thought for sure we were going all the way......until....well...Elway got in the way. That was a fun ride!!! That's mine but I wasn't lucky enough to be there The double fumble play allowed the Jets to have the ball for 10 minutes on one drive and leaving the jags 30 seconds before the half.....
