The day Idzik and Woody went down to the locker room to announce they were bringing Rex back after they went 8-8. They all pogo’d. Devastation

I’d say the game against the Steelers in the afcc has to be there with yesterday and Vinny 99’

Blair Thomas fumble, Gastineau Roughing the passer, Mud Bowl , color blind Vinny on Xmas eve against Ravens ........

[David Harris]

Every single day since 2015.

This is brutal but we're still 5 - 2.  Hopefully Fant comes back soon.  We'll see what JD does about RB.

Again, brutal - but the NFL doesn't stop and every team is going to have significant injuries to key players.  Next man up.

Yeah those are a little before my time, I’m a younging 

[dbatesman]

We lost back to back winnable AFCCGs. Come on, man.

[Bronx]

Hiring Rich Kotite. 

[jeremy2020]

Well, at least we beat the *checks notes* Broncos. 

[JTJet]

Buttfumble. End of story. This isnt up for debate. 

It depends on what you qualify as "worst day". Do you include just injuries? Moments? Etc?

That ******* game went down in the NFL zeitgeist instantly and became a forever meme that we have just barely started to recover from a decade later.

I resign as the HC of the NYJ

[NIGHT STALKER]

Without a doubt, the Byrd injury...AVT and Hall will be back.

Exactly.  That team was stacked and many of the so called experts had the Jets “Super Bowl bound”.

These right now are the “baby Jets”, this year was always a “learning” year, and most of all to really see who Zach Wilson is.

No one would have bought into you telling them “virtually EVERY Joe Douglas 2022 draft pick is not only going to give off vibes of being a star in the league, but they’re going to play like it, right out of the gate, almost every week”…….that’s why this hurts SO much……but Vinny going down like that almost immediately, 1st game of the season, beyond brutal.  I was in a car going to watch the game with friends was a little late, I heard that coming out of the radio…”Wait?  What?!?!?, this has to be a joke, GTFOH, I must be still sleeping, just a bad dream”.

These young Jets who are down now will be back.  Also, maybe just my opinion, but I think this team has a Great GM….they’re in good hands.

Mark Gastineau roughing the passer on Bernie Kosar or the day The Jets Hired Adam Gase or Rich Kotite. This is just a bump in the road. They were not supposed to be a playoff team this year. Meaningful games in December was the goal Douglas set.  They will get to the goal and still possibly make the playoffs. All up to Coaching and Zach.

[More Cowbell]

I think we  would have overcome Hall but losing him and AVT, this is just cruel.

Especially in 1998 - up10-0 at halftime in the AFC championship game.  Some of us remember "the fumble" in the 3rd quarter as the Jets were driving to go up by at least 2 touchdowns on John Elway. WAY WORSE.

For me this should be number 10,000 on the list, an insignificant play in a blowout game having no bearing on the outcome Why Jets fans want to own this as a coat of arms is beyond me.

Wow, not a lot of replies to this thread but some absolute FIRE answers

- Vinny's achilles
- Belichick resigning on the napkin
- Woody buying the team
- Dennis Byrd's paralysis
- AJ Duhe Bowl
- 1998-99 AFCCG
- The exact moment Roethlisberger converted that 3rd down to Antonio Brown in the '10-'11 AFCCG
- Trading for Tebow
- Gastineau late hitting Kosar
- The Butt Fumble / Thanksgiving massacre

Ya man.  That one hurt. 

And the kicker with the AFCC loses is the pain / regret lasts for weeks,  all the way through the superbowl and following day parades!

[bergenjets]

Y'all are soft like a bunch of hen pecked husbands. If Zach doesn't get it together, they were never going anywhere. If he does, this team has playoff potential. This defense is special, but not like the one that took the Bucs to the SB. They need a functional offense.

 

Sit down and enjoy the ride.

Yea, so what are you about 19 years old? We were heavy SB favorites. This sucks, but doesn’t even come close. 

[prime21]

That damn mud bowl always hurts me. 

[jayrad01]

When Dennis Byrd broke his neck that was definitely worse. Not even close to me.

This isn't what happened though.

The day after Super Bowl III and every day since is a tie. ?

I wish that were true. 

The difference here I'm viewing it from? You can talk to a good amount of casual NFL fans, and half of them dont know anything about our team. 

You can ask them about the Buttfumble...and even non football fans know about it. It's a visual representation of our ineptitude for the last 10 years. 

So that's about as terrible as it gets.
