I'm a 50 year old Patriot fan, but man there was something about those 80's Jets I couldn't dislike. I'm sure it was the players/uniforms that hooked me at ages 8-16
That’s because the jets had only two identity defining eras. The 60s and the 80s. The 90s 2000s and 2010s they only had a short identity moment with players and then unfortunately suffered from losses. In my opinion the 80s jets were the closest team to winning a super bowl other then 1968.
@@je9212 they got to the playoffs as a wild card all of those years. The Jets with all of that firepower couldn't even win 1 division title in what was a fairly weak AFC east division.
Ken Obrien is one of the most underrated QB in history. jets had a great offense these years. Two great WR walker and toon. RB freeman McNeil And mickey Shuler at TE. The problem was their offensive line was not great
@@conlanding O'brien was a flawed quarterback. When his receivers were covered he would just stand in the pocket until he was sacked. A good quarterback would either run with the ball or throw the ball away to avoid getting sacked when his receives were not open.
If his line would have been a little more tougher they could’ve went to the pinnacle. In 85 and 86 O’Brien had a killer passer rating. Injuries took him down. Damn shame. I am a southern boy Jets fan. I hope this year they can make some noise
The Jets had a great team that year..They beat themselves in a bad game against the Gaytriots..they had a good chance at the Superbowl...haven't been the same since except for 1998 and 2002..

@@corybernstein3872 The result still would ve been the same if they met in Super Bowl 20 here's the 64 million dollar question could ken o brien and the jets offense be able to slow down that historic bears defense which didn't give a single point in their 2 playoff games at home
How come no one ever applies that standard to the owners? These guys are annihilating their bodies "for the love of the game" while the owner makes billions and keeps every cent he can...
J. E. I’m a Jets fan and loved Toon, didn’t mean to disparage him. Injuries, especially concussions ruined his career and he retire after 8 years but he was never JR level elite.
The Jets had talent on both sides of the ball and yet they underachieved.
Dave Jennings was an excellent New York Punter for both giants and jets RIP Dave

Wesley Walker and Al toon were the best jets tandem receivers ever
Because it's true
You got that right don't forget Mickey Schuler at tight end
@@je9212 the Jets had alot of weapons and yet they accomplished nothing.
@@joedimaggio3687 they went to playoffs 85,86,91 but I agree joe .

Pat leahy was an excellent kicker for the jets from 1974-1991
He was jets kicker in the 70's 80's and early 90's
RIP Joe Walton
Thanks for uploading the 1985 New York jets I enjoyed it
I love it can you upload 1978 New York giants and 79 New York giants
Can you upload 1985 new york giants
Mickey shuler was also great as well

@thecarolinashreds196 Obrien held on to the ball too long and thus took too many sacks.

In 2001 they had a good team too. They played the Raiders tough in the playoff loss.
What a squad we should have won the Super Bowl that year.
3:56 Marty Lyons was a grown ass man amongst men out there. Underrated
7-9 in 84 to 11-5 in 85
Yeah it was a Big improvement from 83-84
CORY BERNSTEIN-27 COMMENTS, OVERKILL?
Way overkill
Joe Namath In the 1985 Hall of fame and jersey retired by weeb ewbank
I thought it could of been a better season
Lance mehl was great
If Giants stadium has today's turf, the Jets go to the Super Bowl during the '80's. It always seemed every year they get the injury bug.
Injuries have always been the excuse used by the Jets. Every team gets Injuries. The Giants won 2 super bowls playing on that same astro turf.
Al toon rookie year
I was at that playoff game
Ken O'Brien Freeman McNeil Wesley walker Al toon Mark gastineau Joe klecko Marty Lyons Lance mehl Jerry Holmes Harry Hamilton Tony Paige Johnny Hector Kurt sohn Mickey shuler Rocky klever Joe Walton Kyle Clifton
If we had protection for O'Brien who knows we could of played Chicago in the super bowl
Instead of the cheaters from New England
Because those cheaters got ran over by the fridge and DA bears in the super bowl
Cory Bernstein the jets lost to the bears that year at home.
@@VolumedMusicMan I know that

In green bay, it's Milwaukee
Kurt sohn grab and score against Cleveland
Yeah that was a great play
No multi-million dollar contracts just love for the game
If you think athletes played "Just For the love of the game"... EVER, I have a bridge to sell you.....
Stevep8445 you obviously are a fake fan
How come no one ever applies that standard to the owners? These guys are annihilating their bodies "for the love of the game" while the owner makes billions and keeps every cent he can...
That's why 2 years later, in 1987, the players went on strike.
Toooooooooooooooooooooon
We should of won that game down in Miami
Shoulda..coulda...woulda..Didn't
@@stevep8445 you took the words right out of my mouth. Would've, could've, should've, but didn't perfectly describes the history of the Jets.
Stevep8445 when was the last time the dolphins were a relevant team…1972 since then nothing but trash
But you didnt
The 85 Jets could have won the division if they had won that game in Miami.
Jets 62 point game against Tampa bay
One of the best jets games ever
LFG
Freeman 🎉 too hard in Miami.
IVE PAID MY DUES WITH THE JETS SINCE 1983 !!! LETS GO JETS !!!!! THIS IS OUR YEAR!!!! 2023 🤬🤬🤬😝😝😝🔥🔥🔥💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾🏈🏈🏈🏈
I don't think so
It's NAWLINS. Not new oar leans who dat
At one point Al toon was better than Jerry Rice
STOP, you on drugs?
Al toon was top 5 wide receiver in nfl during 5 year span but he was never better than jerry rice
J. E. I’m a Jets fan and loved Toon, didn’t mean to disparage him. Injuries, especially concussions ruined his career and he retire after 8 years but he was never JR level elite.
Nope.
Al Toon was a very good player but to say that he was better than Rice is just wrong.
What a waste of talent! Joe Walton was a failure as coach!
