All 100% true. There are also the ONLY team to do all of that and not make it to the Super Bowl.
Cinderella Team in 2012?

They were elite in the early-mid 80s
A good winning % with two trips to the last game before the Super Bowl. 100% admirable (no sarcasm).
Still not elite. An elite team would have gotten into and won the Super Bowl once or even twice in that scenario.

Now you're going to argue that my own favorite team was elite when they weren't? Can we at least agree that water is wet?
I have explained it numerous times and I am sure you have read but are choosing to ignore it. I said over the course of a decade you need to make a SB but we are discussing 3 years here, the rex years. In a 3-5 year window or so you don't need a SB, over the course of a decade I think you do.
Seattle was one of the best teams in the league and a SB contender many years making them elite.
the dolphins were elite much of the decade of the 70s although according to you the '73 team wasn't b/c they never won another playoff game that decade after the '73 SB win.

what fun is agreeing?
Why accuse me of ignoring what you're saying just b/c we differ on what elite means? I'm reading all of what you and others are saying.
Honestly I could care less if the Dolphins were elite before I was born. I don't hang on to the past nor do I really care how good they were 40 years ago. I don't think they were elite in the 80s, 90s, 2000s, or this whole decade.
Seattle was never elite either. Not winning a Super Bowl doesn't make you elite.

To keep us sane for 2 seconds? :brewskis:
And what do the Jets have to show for all that??? NOTHING!
I have a couple of really fun playoff runs to look back on. I enjoy the journey, someday when the Jets do reach and win a SB it will be much more fun b/c of all the times we got close and failed, all the awful seasons, everything I have been through as a fan.

Uh to answer the OPs question, I really don't think so. Hope I'm wrong though.

And what do we have to show for the last 10-15 years? NOTHING!
When you talk like that you make us sound even sadder. Like a short guy that can't dunk a basketball making fun of someone who misses a few.
Yeah but the difference is that Miami has only be irrelevant for 10 to 15 years, the Jets have been irrelevant for the life of the franchise.

Yea, just joking with you and making a little fun of nyjunx.
He has a 1/5th of the post in this thread and at least another 3/5ths are answers to his post.
The cheesest thing to do is to keep your own thread alive. I know of one guy who posts a lot here now that tends to have one out of every 5-6 post in his own threads.
That reality definitely makes us all arguing back and forth hilariously retarded but whatever
