Jets86 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Well technically eight years ago yesterday. The Jets beat the Patriots in a shocking playoff upset. Bart Scott said "Can't wait" in response to a question about the Steelers being next. Unfortunately that would be the last major highlight for the Jets. They came out flat in Pittsburgh. They never recovered. I believe Darnold will lead us to ultimate glory!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The defense stopped giving points to Pitt before the offense stopped giving points to Pitt. That opening drive they allowed was no doubt brutal, but no valid argument can be made that the offense wasn't the primary culprit of that failure when they scored 17 points for their own team, and 7 for the other team. But yeah, that Pats game was friggin' awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, that Pats game was friggin' awesome. Stop it. The D was dominated all first half and the tone was set with an opening drive that lasted 15 plays, 9 minutes and resulted in a TD. The O quickly got us back in it with a FG drive to end the first half and a TD less than 3 minutes into the second half. Then with 3 minutes left and all three TOs all the D needed was to not show Pitt to get 2 1st downs to give our O a chance- they allowed 2 1st downs and allowed Pitt to run out the clock. This was a team failure but the unit most responsible was our D. If we had the NYG Day if 07/11 we make make SBs in 09 & 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jets723 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 That was a great night. Probably the best game plan by Rex. Even Francesa who hated the Jets and Rex during those days had to give him his due. I really thought we had a chance after finally beating the Pats but that first half against Pitt was the beginning of the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they didn't it's 4th down deep in our territory and we are punting with a struggling punter and Pitt gets the ball in great FP with plenty of time to at least kick a FG so instead of being down 24-3(21 pts) they would have been down at least 20-0(20 pts). The fumble didn't cost us the game. What cost us the game was not being able to get a stop with 3 minutes left like a big time D should be able to. The most important possession of the second half and the D folded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jets86 Posted January 17, 2019 Author Share Posted January 17, 2019 I may have to look back. But was there anybody who picked the Jets to win that day?

They had faced off just a little over a month earlier, in the same stadium, and the Pats had routed the Jets 45-3. After one close win against Indy (notorious for their poor playoff record), people were not particularly convinced this game would go any better for the Jets. That's part of what made that game even more enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but that 98 team was about offense, not defense. They were a good defense, but far from a great defense and I don't think they were ever purported to be a great defense. We lost that game because of turnovers. When the blocked punt and subsequent pitch to Martin put us up 10-0, we really should have been up 20 or 24 to nothing. Now, having said all of that, the game completely turned on Elway's dime to McCaffrey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
