I have lower expectations than most Jet fans, I'm not one of those SB or else people. I just want to be able to watch the games without stupid stuff taking years off my life.
LOL. The Lions have won ONE playoff game since 1957 (pre-superbowl era) Also, the Cardinals have won ONE playoff game since 1947. The Jets have won 12 . . .
I don't think the rest is shit. The Jets have had some other good seasons and have made the playoffs like 12 times. So the rest isn't all shit. 1969 was a pretty good season (10-4). I'd also add 1981 (10-5-1); 1982 (6-3) (made it to AFC Championship Game); 1985 (11-5); 1986 (10-6); 2002 (9-7), 2004(10-6) and 2006 (10-6). There is no doubt that the Jets have not been as succesful as we would have liked but I think we have a good team and the future is bright with the new facilities and stadium.
I did not write that the Cardinals have a better history than the Jets. As for the Lions, they have won four NFL championships. The Jets have won zero NFL championships (they won an AFL title and Super Bowl, but technically have never been NFL champions). The Jets are pathetic. Again, though, since the Jets have come into existence they have fared better than the Lions.
