I've been a Jets fan for almost 20 years, and that game was one of my all time favorites.

I had the attached back page hanging up in my office for weeks.

I saved a ton of newspaper back pages and stuff like that from around 2008 until 2012 when things went bad. I wish I still had them, would have been nice wall art for an eventual mancave.

That game ranks as the biggest win I've ever seen. We've won in the divisional round a few other times but given it was against New England up there this one has to be the biggest.

Same. Weird that almost no one in those pics are on the team anymore.

I don't think this picture is from that game. #50 looks like Eric Barton, not Vernon Gholston.

23's face is obscured so we can't tell if it's Shonn Greene. Revis is there so it can't be from before 2007. I think it's from the 2008 win in Foxboro.

I think you're right, because they appear to be reacting to a sudden win like Feely's 2008 kick. I was trying to figure out what moment in the playoff game they could have been reacting to, this would explain it. Good catch.

Edit: Moved the picture to the right game. Has to be 2008--2007 was in the rain during the day, 2009-2011 were losses and Revis was gone after that.

They swept us in 2007 so I knew it couldn't have been that year anyway. Too many smiling faces.

That Oakland game in 2003. I remember being at a bar with some degenerate friends from back in the day. Some Oakland fan chick kept cheering nonstop, after every Jet interception or Oakland score. We kept telling her to shut the freak up but she kept going. One of my friends at the time (who's now in prison not surprisingly) goes up to her boyfriend and tells him if she doesn't stop he'll kick the excrement out of him. He stood his ground. Wrong move. Dude got his derriere kicked, and it turned into a shitshow. Cops came and everything. It was pretty cool.

That's not cool.  That's retarded.  Your friend beat the excrement out of a guy because his girlfriend was cheering for a different team.  That's one of the dumbest things I've ever heard.

Also I added some video of the Denver AFC Championship Game. That had to be the most disappointing loss to me because that 1998 team was the most legit we've ever had. They were 12-4, got the bye, they were on a total roll, even hotter than Denver who had started 13-0. Most if not all of our other teams to get that far were underdogs, this team had they made it to the Super Bowl would certainly have won it and probably in a rout.
