Yes, that 2000 loss was bad. Good effort by the team overall, but the special teams killed us. I was there in Baltimore. Reminds me of the 1997 Week 17 game in Detroit. A 13-10 loss. Another loss that cost the Jets a playoffs spot.
OK, thanks. As I told Academy, that's not the angle I remember seeing that play. When I watched the game, and all the subsequent replays I've seen have been from an end zone camera, and one clearly sees Marino faking the spike before the ball is snapped and he throws the pass. At that angle, it also clearly shows how completely fooled Aaron Glenn was. In this camera angle, he looks like his coverage isn't that bad as compared with the end zone angle. Not your fault you couldn't find a better camera angle of the play and the fake spike signal is completely cut off. I wonder why this is the angle that is on the internet, however, as it's not the angle shown during the game.
I wouldn't say this loss hurt me, but it really pissed me off: December 21, 2008: Jets at Seahawks It was cold and ugly, but that was no excuse for the PATHETIC effort Favre and the Jets gave that day in a 13-3 loss to a terrible Seahawks team. A win and the Jets would have been (10-5) and on their way to a showdown with the Dolphins at HOME for AFC East crown. Instead, they completely folded and phoned it in. Favre looked like he had no interest at all even being on the field. Just a pathetic performance.
Favre mailed it in... but Schottenheimer dropped back to pass an injured and uninterested QB 20 times in just the second half alone... in a snowstorm
And then Ellis got fined 10k for throwing a boulder of snow at mocking fans lol http://www.ebaumsworld.com/video/watch/81234422/
Not as horrific but how about the Eric Barton roughing the passer. Can't recall all the specifics except that I burst a blood vessel and cursed him to hell for eternity and it still pisses me off.
Yes, that was terrible too, but the Jets were able to win so it was quickly forgiven. If Kaeding would have made that FG, Barton's penalty would have never been forgotten/forgiven.
For me the AFCCG vs. the Steelers was really bad because I went into that game really expecting a win. The loss to the Giants was bad too, I was there and it was a party atmosphere and when Cruz made that 99 yard play everything was sucked out of me. Was a turning point moment in the Rex Ryan era.
Sowell put a ball on the ground that wasn't a fumble (his knee was down), but it was pre-challenge era. That play turned the whole game. And yes I remember that DET game too. John Hall shanked a chip shot and Bryan Cox flipped out.
Personally, it would be the 1998 Championship game against Denver. I think we would have won the Super Bowl if we had held onto that 10-point lead.
Yeah, I still don't think I have seen a game crash down so fast, as that one did. Jets were in control, then instantly done.
