I wouldnt go that far
It was a toss-up last year...both were awful

I think that both of them were awful due to the fact that your O-line was horrible. Under a good o-line, then either of them would have done ok.TerryTate said:I wouldnt go that far

I beg to differ..... refer to Buffalo Bills 1990 - 1993.....
Or maybe they weren't an elite team after all? Lets see you squirm you way out of this one....
FinfanInBuffalo said:What does this say about Dolphin and/or Jets fans?
Jet fans like Edwards, Dolphin fans hated Wanny......
nyjunc said:First off Herm is not as beloved as you might think, I am a big fan and think he's done a very good job but that is not what alot of Jet fans think, Secondly, the Jets have made 3 PO appearances in Herm's 4 years while Miami made 2 in Wanny's 4 1/2 years and the Jets are a team that has been on the rise while the past few years Miami was on the decline. That is the reason Herm is viewed positively and Wannstedt negatively. Also, dolphin fans like to think all their problems were coaching related. They think they had this incredibly talented team that should have won a SB when in reality they have had good, not great, talent and the coaching was not ther only reason they were horrible last year.

The playoff misses in 2002 & 2003 were by tie breakers.
The sad part is that the Fin's record in 2003 equalled the best record that the Jets have had in the Edwards era.
Take a look at Herm's first three years in NY:
2001 - 10-6
2002 - 9-7
2003 - 6-10
Dolphins fans would have been rioting in the streets.....
:
In 2003 they were the first team in a decade to miss the playoffs at 10-6. The sad part is that the Fin's record in 2003 equalled the best record that the Jets have had in the Edwards era. It was equal to or better than any year the Jets have had in their history except three (1998, 1985, and 1968).
nyjunc said:That's great but our '02 and '04 teams were both better than the '03 Miami team.
nyjunc said:Last I checked you guys haven't even been to the postseason since 2001(good for you b/c of all the embarrassing defeats you were getting handed to you annually).
nyjunc said:So let me get this straight, the dolphin fans who haven't seen the postseason since 2001 and were 4-12 last year would be upset w/ those 3 years 2 of which we made the playoffs and once a division Champion?
nyjunc said:Not really b/c you didn't even make the playoffs. By the way in '68 we went 11-3 and then won the Super Bowl- was your non-playoff 10-6 season betetr than that?
nyjunc said:In '69 we were 10-4 and made the playoffs, in '85 we were 11-5 and made the playoffs, in '86 we were 10-6 and lost in 2 OTs in the div rd, in '98 we went 12-4, in '01 and '04 we went 10-6. Those were all playoff seasons and all better than going 10-6 and missing the playoffs.
nyjunc said:Are you trying to tell me the Jets haven't been very god most of our existence? Tell me something I don't know but what I do know is we've been as good or better(in most years better) than Miami for almost a decade now.
?????
2003: Miami - 10-6
2002: Jets - 9-7
2003: Jets - 10-6
Like I tell the Bills fans, it is arbitrary to draw the line at making the playoffs but not winning it all. You cannot discount a solid 10-6 season just because they didn't make the playoffs.
!YES!!!!!!!!!!!!
The same Dolphin fans were calling for Wanny's head after 2003. That was after 2 trips to the playoffs out of three and a division crown and no losing records. BTW, this was my point in this whole post. You seemed to have missed that.
Did you miss the fact that I pointed out that 1968 was one of the years where the Jets exceeded the 10-6 record?
10-6 is 10-6..... In fact, if a team goes 10-6 and doesn't make the playoffs, the competion must have been tougher that year and that makes the 10-6 record even more impressive.
By my math, the Fins have had the better record 6 times in the last 10, the Jets had the better record twice, and twice they were tied.
nyjunc said:Record alone doesn't make a team better, our 9-7 team in '[02 was only 9-7 b/c of early injuries. This team was the LAST team to go into Foxboro and win a game and that was on a Sun Night w/ the division on the line for the Pats and we beatq them up. Then we mauled 12-3 GB playing for homefiled and Indy in the playoffs before losing a tough game at Oak(I know it was a 30-10 score but it got away late, it wasn't like a 62-7 game or anything like that).
Miami was eliminated w/ 2 weeks left, had they still been in it who knows of they win 1 or both of those last 2 games. When they were alive they blew it and by the way they barely squeaked by a 6-10 Jets team at home in the final game(thanks in large part to a blown 2 pt conversion call and a horrible offensive PI call).
That's b/c you MISSED the playoffs in '03 and '02 and from '97-'01 you were embarrassed in the playoffs every year.
Well you missed '69 when we were 10-4.
Not necessarily, the fact you were 10-6 was due in large part to the AFC East having 2 bad teams(something it hadn't had in years). The Jets in '02 that went 9-7 was more impressive than the dolphins 10-6, in '02 all 4 teams were w/in a game of each other while in '03 the Pats ran away w/ it and the Jets and Bills were bad.
I said almost a decade, since Parcells came here in '97
-'97, it was close but since the Phins swept the Jets the Phins get the egde. MIA
-'98, the Jets were by far better. NYJ
-'99, I give the edge to the Jets. We battled through a ton of injuries to come back and pull w/in a game of Miami and we swept them. NYJ
-'00, Jets sweep again but Mia wins division. MIA
-'01, teams were even but Jets swept yet again so edge Jets. NYJ
-'02, same record, split games but Jets win division. NYJ
-'03, Miami was better, MIA
-'04, huge edge Jets. NYJ
NYJ-5 MIA- 3
Your team in '02 was only 9-7 because of injuries. Didn't the Fins lose their starting QB and both starting WRs in the same game?
Your qualifying blowout losses in the playoffs? 30-10 is a blowout....
You are taking wins away from the Fins because they were out of the playoff race? You can't be serious.
You "give" 1999 to the Jets???? Come on, give me a break.
In 2001, the Fins had the better record but you give the nod to the Jets? You're killing me.... You give the nod to the Jets twice when the Fins had a better record? Reverse those two and you get:
MIA-5, NYJ-3..... Nice try.
nyjunc said:We finished 1 game behind, we swept you and you needed us to beat Seattle in Wk 17 to get in then you got in and were thrashed by Jax. We were definitely better in '99.
They were better records by a game and we SWEPT you in both years plus in '01 you git tharshed at home by Bal in the playoffs while we played a tough game AT Oak.
It's the other way around.
