JOJOTOWNSELL Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I was walking into Heinz Field feeling great about my team being one win away from the Super Bowl. It was a crisp, cold day.....not a facemask in sight. I remember thinking that this was going to be the day that made up for the Fake Spikes, Rich Kotites, and all the other BS we Jets fans put up with. Its insane to think that literally nothing good has happened for this team since that day. Its actually all gone downhill and its sad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post PS17 Posted January 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 24, 2021 I had such a horrible, horrible feeling in my gut after that game. Like, not only did we blow our best chance at a Super Bowl, but that would be our last good team in a long time. Ten years later, here we are. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k-met57 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 i often reflect on sanchez. i really feel like if he had a bit more pocket feel, and if the jets didnt blow up the team around him...he could have been a decent NFL starter. ultimately i do feel like his lack of ability to do anything under pressure in the pocket was always going to doom him.

So did I, but it was because we lost to a team that we were better than. Full disclosure, I honestly felt we were on the way to being really good for 5-6 years. Also was convinced that Sanchez was the guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lasting memory that I have from that game was getting on the shuttle bus after the game to head back to our hotel on the other side of the river. My son and I. The only Jet fans on a bus full of Steeler fans. And they were so fvcking quiet. Going to the Super Bowl had become so routine for Steeler fans, that it was just another win. It was expected. Steeler fans have won enough. They deserve nothing. We have suffered with our team for 50+ years and remained loyal. We deserve the chance to experience that joy. Hopefully it happens some day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because this one would have gotten us to the SB. Still had another hurdle to go after the Doug Brien game. Both sucked, but this one was worse for me. This one. And the Mud Bowl. Those were the two worst for me. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recency bias. (See: 3-0 vs. Broncos at the half, Gastineau/Kosar, Mud Bowl, etc.) Time starts to deaden the senses... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother is a Giants fan. He came to my place last Saturday to watch the divisional games. I was so excited to watch a great weekend of playoff football, and I turned to him and said “could you imagine me right now if the Jets were playing? Don’t I deserve a good team some day?” And he said yes, you do. We all deserve it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shula was the cheating model that Belichick adopted when he assumed control of the NE club, IMHO. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difference for me with the Denver game is I didn't think we were the better team. That loss was comaprable to the Indy loss after the 2009 season. Jumped out to a lead, but I always felt the better team would win. The Mud Bowl and Pitt, I thought we were the better team. How pathetic is this? Sitting here on Championship Sunday revisiting the most devastating losses in our history. Maybe it is like group therapy for us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good news is that as we torture each other with this stuff, at least we still have our memory. I think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
