    Preseason only, during the AFL days.

    They wore those in some 70s preseason games too I think.

    Right! How could I forget the '68 AFL Championship game!!!

    It is easily forgotten that two of the biggest Jet victories of all time were not shown on live TV in NYC.

    ( I did not attend either although I was there in '69 for the wind-bowl loss vs. KC)

    How about 51-45 in 1986 v.Doplhins?

    I'd have to put last year's playoff game at New England as #1. I wasn't even 2 when we won the Super Bowl. The New England game matches the deepest into the playoffs we've won since I've been watching, and the rivalry to me puts it ahead of the other three times we won that round (Raiders in Jan 83, Jaguars in Jan 99 and Chargers in Jan 10).

    The 2009 SD, 2010 Indy and 2010 NE victories are absolutely great memories also.

    Actually, any play-off win is memorable. There's only been 12 of them. Its just that every great win is followed by an equally memorable disappointing loss (except for AFL Champ.'68, SBIII and Jets-Giants I)

    Yes I was also there for the KC PO game in Dec 69 + the 51-45 game when KOB out shot pretty boy Danny M. Actually the 16-15 Miami game with Todd with the broken ribs was just as exciting :sad:

    Nah the losses I forget about immediately like the last 2 AFCCGs to the Colts & the Steelers :sad:

    So since I have been fan of the team I have forgotten about more games then I remember since our overall record since we started as the Titans is still under 500. Taking away the 68 season that is 51 years or so of watching losers play FB :sad:

    Nah if they are then followed up with losses then the win means nothing as they just are one of the 31 other teams that are losers in the NFL :sad:

    I will however agree that the week after the win until they will be playing the next game is exciting & hopeful that for once the team will again climb the highest mountain but alas so far all that is just a stinking dream :sad:

    Best win for me was 82 at LA Raiders. THat was really a team that had the horses to go all the way. All the other times the Jets have made the playoffs I felt they were pretty fortunate and opportunistic and I really thought anything they accomplished was gravy. Like the last two seasons.

    The 98 team was pretty special, but the Jaguars win wasn't so dominating.

    The 86 win vs. KC was pretty awesome too.

    Yes the '81 Dolphin comeback was also a great game.

    '81 team...first winning season since '69

    Of course in play-off game, Bruce Harper fumbles the opening kick-off and Bills score, putting us in a hole we can't climb out from
