The 1976 Patriots should of ran the table. They where so underrated & got so screwed playing the Raiders. 25yrs later pay back is a bitch..The tuck rule game. Last game played at Foxboro stadium AKA Scheffer.
And Lou Holtz was the head coach...resigned with one game left. “Perhaps the best thing to say about the 1976 New York Jets season is that it’s over”.- John Facenda on the highlight film of their season
The Jets were to the AFC in those days what the Saints were to the NFC. I think one can safely assume that one of the primary reasons for this was that Leon Hess wouldn't pay high-quality players what they were worth. A related cause, no doubt, was *bad recruiting decisions.* Among the many future Hall of Famers the jets passed over in the NFL draft that decade are Ray Guy, Joe DeLamielleure and Dan Fouts, in 1973; Jack Lambert, John Stallworth and Mike Webster, in '74; Fred Dean, in '75; Jackie Slater and Harry Carson, in '76; James Lofton, in '78; and Joe Montana and Kellen Winslow, in '79. And then, on top of that all that, there are the numerous Pro-Bowlers they passed over.

Patriots 58 Jets 31 Patriots since 1976 lead the series, Jets once led 22 wins to 9 wins
The score of that game was 41-7 Patriots, Pro Football Reference says so
A favorite of mine Marinaro. Stingly at WR. I didn't realize John Smith was a lefty. Sam bam and Calhoun is a good duo.

Lou Holtz was an incompetent coach that season. 3-10 and no production
