MSGold12 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Think yesterday was odd? Think again. These two team have played some of the weirdest fiishing games in football history...most going agnst the jets! 1970- Jets and Browns open ianugural MNF game. Jets commit 17 penalties but are only down by 7 with 4 minutes to play. Namath throws a bad, low ball that is picked off by a diving Browns LB, wh kays on the ground untouched for 2 or 3 seconds, gets up and returns it for a TD to put the game away. 1978- Wiht an 8-6 record going into week 15 and a playoff spot on the line, the jets score twice in the last 4 minutes to take a 34-27 lead in Cle wiht just 1 minute to play. On a forzen field, Sipe hits Calvin Hill on 4th down with :05 to go in the game for a 25 yard TD to tie and then Cle wins the toss and gets a FG in OT to win it and knock the jets out of the playoff hunt. 1979- Opening day at Shea. With matt Robinson at the healm, the Jets take a 22-19 lead on Cle with just over 1 minute to play. With the game seemingly over, Robinson removes the tape from his injured throwing thumb. Cle has the ball on their own 30 wiht 14 seconds left and no TOs. Sipe hits a WR on the sideline (after it bounced off a Jet DBs helmet!) for a 33 yard gain to the jets 37. But wiht only 8 seconds left it seemed harmless. BUt THEN, the official tacks on 15 more as rookie Gastineau is hit wiht a roughing the passer penalty (ironic huh?). Cle hits a FG to tie 22-22. Team go back and forth in OT. jets have the ball on their own 15 wiht 1 mnute to go in OT and a tie seems imminent. But Robinson, now wiht abadly swollen thumb, throws a duck that is picked off, returned to the jet 10 and Cle kicks a FG to win 25-22 wiht 5 seocnds left in OT. 1985- Week 16. The Jets need a win to make the playoffs. With the score tied at 10, Ken O'Brien over throws Kurt Sohn and the ball is picked off by Don Rogers. But Sohn rund into Rogers, rips the ball away, and runs 25 yards for a go ahead td. Jets win 25-10. 1986- Playoffs. Double OT. Up to wiht 4 to go. Gastineau. Kosar. Sluaghter. Mosley. We all know the story. 2006- Baker tying TD nullified by a bad call. *** The Hermy Error is OVER...Let the Tangini Era begin!!!! *** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugg Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Thought the same thing. Add 2002- Hermie's Jets at home blow a 21-0 halftime lead to lose 24-21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ten Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Thought the same thing. Add 2002- Hermie's Jets at home blow a 21-0 halftime lead to lose 24-21. They also scored that crazy TD where Tim Couch threw up a rainbow as he was falling backwards,the Browns WR outjumped two jets for the ball.
