These last 12 years has been some of the worst in Dolphins history and the Jets only have 3 more playoff appearances and 7 more regular season wins. 2 of those playoff appearances came from a 9-7 record.
What do the Jets have to show for those playoff wins? In the last 12 very bad years, the Dolphins have the same amount of AFC East championships that the Jets have had in their entire history. I agree that the ride is more fun as a fan when you make the playoffs and win games, but when you come up short, no one else cares.
You can rationalize it any way you want but since your last playoff win(Dec. 2000) we have 6 playoff wins and 2 title game apps. Since your last title game app we have 3 of them, it sucks we haven't gotten to or won a SB but we have made it pretty far. Miami hasn't been close to a title game since 1994.
You know you want to see Miami make the playoffs and win some playoff games in the worst way.
