TuscanyTile2 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 First some definitions: -I'm defining a decade as being from '00-'09 (as opposed to '01-'10, which some people do). So, for example, 1970-1979 is a decade (rather than 1971-1980). -Also, let's eliminate any confusion with post-season being played the following calendar year. So, for example, a game played in January 2010 counts toward the 2009 season (and, thus, the 2000's decade) because that season started in the 00's. The 1960's were clearly the top decade (we won the SB) and the 1970's were the worst (missed the playoffs the entire decade). I'll rank our decades as follows: 1960's 2000's 1980's 1990's 2010's 1970's https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/nyj/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetsFanatic Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 The 1970s were the worst. Not one winning season. Trust me, I lived through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nixhead Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 At least we have that one Super Bowl victory to hang our hats on. Its miserable enough being a Jets fan but if we didn't have that one Super Bowl victory life would be even that more miserable. Its amazing that in almost 60 seasons we only have 4 division titles. Its mind boggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lou Holtz and Charlie Winner were pretty bad, but didn't last long enough, nor did they inflict the long lasting, never ending, excruciating pain that Todd did. Hopefully, we'll never have another one like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnitedWhofans Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Seems to me the Jets are good in even decades (60s 80s 2000s) and bad in odd decades (70s 90s 2010s). Bodes well for 2020s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way the 2000s, would have 6 out of 10 playoff appearances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohio State NY Jets fan Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Good thread - from a decade perspective, I will provide a different viewpoint for discussion, my ranks are as follows: 1960's - started as the Titans, had horrible record, Namath draft and SuperBowl puts this on top - reason they play the game 1990's - Tuna rebuild and the best chance at winning the SuperBowl since Joe 1980's - New York Sack Exchange - gave the team identity after brutal 70's 2000's - Most wins in a decade and Rex was a blast but Circus and traitor BB lowers the decade rank, nice to celebrate playoffs but when rival is winning SB's it can't be the best... 2010's 1970's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally hear you on the 1990's because that truly was the Jets' best chance to win the SB (in my lifetime at least). Having a real shot to win it all should trump multiple playoff appearances (as happened in the 1980's). I think I would re-rank as: 1960's: We won a SB 1990's: Had an absolutely legit chance to win the Superbowl in 1998. If only we held onto that 10-0 2nd half lead in Denver (sigh!) That one season moves the entire decade up to 2nd in the rankings despite Kotite and plenty of SOJ moments 1980's: Even though there was a lot of pain attached to this decade, it actually was a lot of fun. We had the sack exchange. We had the 51-45 shootout against Miami. We had 4 interesting playoff seasons (all ending in painful playoff losses) where the team seemed legitimately good. We even had some fun playoff wins (Oakland, KC) and some memorable (though painful) playoff losses (the almost-comeback against Buffalo and the Gastineau late hit of Kosar). I actually really enjoyed watching Ken O'Brien for a couple of seasons. 2000's: We almost seemed like a "normal team" in this decade. We had ups and downs and some good playoff runs. 2010's: Awful so far (though, like the 1990's, this one has the potential to turn around quickly!) 1970's: Awful from top-to-bottom Looking back, it's interesting that we appeared in the conference championship game in the 1980's, 1990's, 2000's and 2010's. (1982, 1998, 2009, 2010). I wonder how many teams have done that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
