I happened to stop by the Gang Green (Jets fan chat site),,,,and they were listing the Top 10 worst Jets moments in History....how did they narrow it to just 10?
Anyway, the Jets fans are still crying about Don Shula and how we whupped them in the 1982 AFC Championship game.
:feedback:
6) 1982 AFC Championship game. Don Shula cheats and wets down Orange Bowl field with water cannons and a Voodoo summoned monsoon. Jets best player Freeman McNeil is negated by quagmire conditions. Richard Todd self-destructs in second half (5 picks in the game) and Jets lose AFC Championship game 14-0. Richard Todd never recovers from this game, and his Jet career ends after only one more season (aided by Sports Illustrated cover hex). Jets don't get back to Championship game until 1998. Worse still Walt Michaels – a good coach – is so depressed he gets in a mysterious alcohol fueled altercation on the plane ride home. Can you blame him for wanting to get pie-eyed after that game. Jets in ultimate wisdom can him, and turn the reigns over to Joe Walton. Terrific. Walton takes Jets to 7 – 9 record following year. I hope you are proud of yourself Don Shula. Ouch
