What would you say is the most memorable Jets play that you watched happen? That one great play that made you explode in celebration? This should be a fun discussion given that we all started as Jets fans in different time periods.
this one immediately comes to mind: Was watching it with the jet meetup group we have here in boston. place was packed and erupted when that kick went through the uprights. cant remember a louder and crazier atmosphere watching a jets game be it at a bar or at the stadium. there is acutally a video out there of us watching it and the reaction, ill try and find it and also this one: patriots were nobodies at the time... and the dolphins were the team i hated most during that period. coming back, on monday night, in that fashion was unreal
Sunday, September 21, 1986 - Ken O'Brien hits the bomb to Wesley Walker to win the game in overtime. Final Score: New York Jets 51 - Miami Dolphins 45 It's the fourth Walker Touchdown in this video:
I was at that gave and walked out late in the fourth to beat traffic..what a mistake. Oh, and let junc tell you how much O'Brien stunk again.
I hate to say one of my most memorable was also a negative one only because it was my first Jets playoff game live. I was in the closed end of Shea, lower level for the Jets Bills Wildcard game in '81. Down 31-13 with about 10 minutes left Todd rallied the Jets, helped by the Sack Exchange, got them back to 31-27, Todd drives the team down to the 10 yard line on the open end of Shea with 10 seconds left, crowd is on their feet, Todd drops back to pass, sees Gaffney in the end zone, fires the ball and throws an interception at the goal line.
3 plays immediately came to mind.. 1) Calvin Pace rocking Br*dy in the 2010 playoffs.. the fear in Br*dy's eyes on the replay was icing on the cake 2) Chad Morton's kick return TD in OT against the Bills. opening day 2002 3) Curtis Martin's game winning TD pass to Chrebet vs Tampa in 2000, as Meshawn sulked on the sideline after talking so much shite there are probably better plays, but these 3 were just pure bliss for me, and stand out as great moments..
I'm pretty young so the first one that came to mind for me was the back corner fade from Sanchez to Holmes in the 2010 divisional win over the Pats.
Geez guys! The question clearly states that it needs to be a GOOD play that elicited celebration. I can't believe so many of you can only bring up the "bummers" we all can't help but remember. Leave those for another thread. Damn.
Just to be a little different I nominate this underrated but still extremely memorable play, Testaverde hitting Dedric Ward DEEP late in the 3rd quarter in blistery Rich Stadium December 20, 1998 to clinch this organization's 1st division title as a member of the NFL: (1:12 mark) Also who can forget the Testaverde phantom TD run to cap off an amazing game just 2 weeks prior.. The REASON the NFL reinstated instant replay: By the way, that 1998 team, 1 of only 2 teams in NFL history to beat 7 playoff teams in a season. That buffalo win was 1 of them and Seattle would've been 8, the NFL record if we didn't knock them out!
Barkum scoring to beat the Dolphin in the final seconds at Shea in '81. Wesley Walker tying the Dolphins on the last play in regulation in the 51-45 game. The Shonn Greene "sleep" TD that iced the NE playoff game. These were all wild celebration moments for me. I might have picked the first two because it was against the hated Dolphins, AND I was lucky to be at the game, so the effect of the crowd enhanced the experience. I'll throw in one more goody for the old timers: Lance Mehl's 2nd interception that iced the playoff game in LA against the Raiders. We ran around outside bumper hitching rides on cars on the ice covered Cranford NJ streets. That was fun.
Def. the Jumbo Elliott Monday Night Miracle TD catch. 2nd. - Curtis Martin RB pass to Wayne Chrebet to beat the Bucs and Keyshawn\ 3rd. - Mo Lewis ending Drew Bledsoe Honorable Mention - Shonn Greene trucking Weddle in the playoffs & Shonn Greene putting the Pats out of the playoffs
Folk's GWFG against the Colts will forever be memorable because it was on my dad's birthday and we went absolute apeshit. Really loved the blown lead/came back to win anyway game against the Texans.
One play that comes to mind is Kerry Rhodes' interception vs Pittsburgh back in 07. Idk why but it does
We did this over a year ago and I think I was the first one to mention this play back then , but it was about three pages into the thread, so I am glad that you mentioned it first now. Here's a link to the NBC broadcast, with the silent crowd at Indy pierced by Folk's yell as the kick goes through the uprights I'm a fan since '64, and I can think of a lot of plays, but I love this one because of the silent crowd and Folk's reaction Some others I love that haven't been mentioned Namath's 3 play drive and the TD to Maynard to regain the lead for good in the '68 championship game Todd to Walker 3& 1 bomb to the Raiders 1 in '82 AFC semi-final O'Brien to Toon to Beat Giants in '88
