Borgoguy Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 After going 5-0 in preseason, wunderkind Browning Nagle fumbles, and loses, his opening snap of the regular season. It's not pretty after that and we go 4-12. Geez what a mush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthernJet Posted August 25, 2008 Author Share Posted August 25, 2008 These are from a old Smizzy post.... *Matt Robinson beat out Richard Todd as the starter before the 1979 season. The Jets were looking forward to the mustachioed Robinson's riverboat-gambler ways. He loved to throw long. But a few days before the opening game, Robinson was wrist-wrestling with teammate Bobby Jones -- and suffered a sprained right thumb. But Robinson hid the details of the injury from coach Walt Michaels, telling him he hurt the thumb "reaching for a doorknob." His weakened thumb prevented him from throwing long, and his underthrown pass was intercepted in overtime and the Jets lost to Cleveland. Michaels was furious when he learned what really had happened to Robinson. He never permitted Robinson to throw another pass for the Jets -- not even to come in and mop up for Todd.

SouthernJet Posted August 25, 2008 Author Share Posted August 25, 2008 *Joe Namath tore a hamstring while water-skiing in the Bahamas. While his contract prohibited sky-diving, it never imagined the more benign offseason activity of water-skiing. However, a tow-rope broke and so did his "hammy," as players call it. That injury, before the 1974 season, effectively heralded the beginning of the end of Joe's career. He wound up with a herniation "the size of a grapefruit," said the team trainer, and never approached even the limited mobility of his earlier years. In his final three Jets seasons, he tossed 66 interceptions to 39 touchdowns, and his 20 carries over the span netted all of 12 yards. Because of his more noted knee operations, fans just assumed they had taken their toll. After all, how many quarterbacks get sacked on water skis?

AVM Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Vinny blows out his achillies Yeah...that sucked. How about the Chad broken collar-bone(I think it was), in the pre-season? Same year Vick broke his leg in the pre-season. And while this wasn't a big season-changing moment(as we were pretty much almost dead anyways), but Wayne's last concussion against the Chargers. We're coming charging back from way down, and Wayne makes a great catch going to the left at the sideline, his last as a professional. And one thing I'll never forget--vintage Wayne, as he still held on to the ball. One of my saddest times as a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JETS11269 Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Doug Brien missing back-to-back FGs in Pittsburgh Barton's penalty in San Diego (even though we won, it felt like we were gonna lose) I'll even throw in the injury to Drew Bledsoe, propelling Tom Brady to the spotlight. Wasn't that bad when it happened, but we all know what happened afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife and I talk about that moment--and Chrebet in general--a lot during games. (Probably her favorite Jet of all time.) We are lucky to have seen such a clutch, unselfish and supremely talented player. Bless you, Wayne, wherever you are. Thanks for all the great grabs.

Bugg Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I'm convinced that 2001 and 2002 werea huge lost opportunities.Not saying we should've won it all, but there was a whole bunch of talent, utterly mismanaged. And the Pats weren't yet the Pats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the game where the Jets came back from like 24-0 down early and they were on the march for the winning score and Todd missed Gaffney in the end zone and Bill Simpson picked it off. Eventhough they lost it was a great comeback. They just didn't finish it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
