I just remember when I was young that the only team Ken O'Brien could ever consistently beat was the Dolphins. That made me happy.
For me, I forgot his name but it was the first year that Bill took over the Jets. Was it Vinny Testaverde ?
Parcells first year was 1997, Neil O'Donnell started the season and Glenn Foley also played a few games. Foley was the starter for the beginning of 1998 and Vinny took over for good in October.
Same. I remember 86 cause people were talking about Jets & Giants in playoffs. My father was into (no homo) Parcells so he used to follow the teams that he was on but the Jets were making headlines too. O'Brien was mentioned a lot. The other name that sticks out in my head is Browning Nagle. God those were terrible years. I'd rather sit through another 10 years of Herm coaching than go back to that Coslett/Kotite shit. Thank goodness I've only been a fan since 85/86. I couldn't image the heartbreak from being a fan since the 60's.
Who was the QB when you first realized you had a major learning disability? Who is your favorite QB? Do you even know what a QB is?
At least those people saw us win a Super Bowl. I've been a fan since 1974, saw a broken down old Joe Namath rally us to 7-7, then a bunch of crap for the next however many years with a few good ones sprinkled in. The last 14 years, since 1997, we've been good but New England has been better most of that time so we've still been a Wild Card level team. We need to fix that beginning Monday.
Richard Todd - I'm from the sack exchange era. Didn't like the Jets for Todd though. Sure did like Kenny O before he got shell shocked from all the hits.
Vinny Testaverde, midway thru 98 Then in 99 I went through Tom Tupa (LOL), Rick Mirer (lmaoomg), and Ray Lucas.
Yeah Richard Todd/Ken O'Brien, NY Sack Exchange. I was 11. Been a lot of bad losses, with some good ones mixed in.
