What does 13 years ago have to do with the present state of our teams? You should be talking about Philbin choking in the last 2 games with the playoffs on the line, or Ireland getting fired and the reports of the mess of the power structure. Those things are far more relevant to the future of this team than what happened in the past.
You aren't going on 13 years without a playoff win, but you are going on 13 years without a division title and 46 years without a Super Bowl appearance. Those are the things that really matter to me when talking about the past. Even with those accomplishments it is still irrelevant when it has been so long. What is relevant is recent history. And in the most recent history, the Jets and Dolphins have both stunk.
I hope that changes soon. Well, for my team at least. I wouldn't mind seeing the Jets stink for a few more years.
