Funny. Even though the Jets have been better than the most current Super Bowl contestants these past three years, those teams could at least MAKE the Super Bowl.
An even a bigger slap in the face is the fact that the Giants went through playoffs the same way as the Jets, all road games, and managed to win two Super Bowls.

Actually the last SB they hosted a playoff game against the Mighty Falcons. The Jets played better teams for the most part in their title game runs(not counting the SB) than NYG playedin the NFC playoffs
If the Jests had even had the opportunity to lose a Super Bowl in the last 43 years, you wouldn't be touting their losses in the conference championships like some ditzy highschool girl flashing her $500 engagement ring at all her classmates. I bet Niner and Ravens fans aren't crowing about just missing going to the Super Bowl -- and both of those teams did a whole lot better in their conference championship losses than the Jests did in either of theirs.
Despite having lousy OT play that limited their playbook and despite having a wave of injuries beginning about mid season, the Bills had an offense ranked in the top half of the league. Their rushing game was ranked top five -- and they lost their best RB/offensive player with 5 or 6 games left. The Bills went out and did something about it: they hired the best QB coach available and they drafted 3 OLers and a WR.
The mighty Jets were ranked 25th, and nearly last in rushing. What did they do to address their offensive problems? They hired an OC who has no experience as an OC. They traded up in the 2nd round to draft a WR who had 9 receptions as a senior and 45 for his entire college career. Hill may turn out to be great, but it's unlikely he'll turn into a star in 2012.
True. He was a crappy HC who was originally hired because he was the GM's (Parcells) pal. Sparano was as unqualified to be a HC as it was possible to be. His credentials to be an OC aren't much better. Thinking he's going to turn the Jests' offense into an effective unit is wishful thinking, but then, among delusional Jests fans, you are among the leaders.
You were better than NONE of the playoff teams last season, sweetpea, and that's the one that counts until the start of this season. Last season existed and your team sucked just like the Bills and Fins despite your best efforts to pretend it didn't. Deal with it.
We are discussing recent, relevant history. In the 3 years under rex we have been one of the best teams in the league, haven't broje through for a SB yet but still have been one of the best teams in the league. It's comical that a jealous rival fan who hasn't seen a postseason game this Century can make fun of the jets for reaching 2 title games.
The injury excuses for the Bills who were mostly intact when they met the jets at 5-2 in Orchard Park then got smashed back to reality w/ another blowout loss to the jets.
what has that QB coach ever done that he is one of the best?
The jets hired a new OC, the Jets aquuired tebow, the jets drafted Hill and signed Schilens. The Jets didn't have as much room to improve as Buf did.
ranked 25th in yards but 13th in POINTS which was higher than Buf despite all the problems the Jets had.
We don't need Hill to be a star in 2012, we need him to be better than Plax btw the 20s and he will be.
he was a mediocre HC who took over a 1 win team and led them to a div title, how come the great Chan hasn't made the playoffs in Buffalo? or even competed for the playoffs?
I don't expect our O to be the Pats O but our O will be much better if the OL is better and the OL going into 2012 is in better position than it was going into 2011.
I said we were better than NE 2 of the last 3 years.
2009: we win 2 ROAD playoff games, NE loses at HOME in WC rd
2010: we win 2 ROAD playoff games including whipping NE in NE in the div rd, NE is one and done again.
We did suck last year, we sucked so bad it would have been Buf's best season since 2005.
