This Jets team is my favorite football team of all time. I was only 8 but I still have vivid memories of their play off run. Richard Todd was my first sports hero, and I still hate AJ Duhe and that friggin' mud!
I hadn't quite turned 8 then but I was very upset with that playoff loss. I was mad like the incredible hulk and I threw a chair! I still hate Dolphins coach Don Shula as well as AJ Duhe and Bob Baumhower. Also hate those field conditions; game should have been moved to Shea Stadium because the field was not covered.

@@evandarragh4356 I read he had a fight with someone on the plane ride home. Mike Francesca on WFAN in NY told that story once, but he didn't elaborate. Always wanted to know the whole deal. He was a good coach.
Walt Michaels was really asked to resign by Mr. Hess because he was drunk from what I heard. I really believed that the Jets were going to win it all in 83. They were probably the most disappointing team. They had the talent but the off field issue of moving out of Shea may have been a huge distraction.
The 1982 New York Jets were the Road Warriors indeed, they played four home games at beloved Shea Stadium in the heart and soul of the Big Apple in New York City, however, the Kansas City Chiefs totally destroyed their chances to get home field advantage in that year, P.S. Two years later, the New York Jets moving from Shea Stadium to Giants Stadium was a giant mistake and that resulted in many losing seasons including a 1-15 record in 1996!!
@@Venom3254 I ❤️ those jet uniforms from the 80s whenever I play madden on my Playstation 2 as the jets I select those uniforms especially when they play the Miami dolphins
Walt Michaels firing was one of the top mistakes that Leon Hess did as the Jets Owner. Hiring Rich Kotite a few years later and stating he wants to win now was another bonehead move done by Leon Hess.
That is absolutely true, Shea Stadium was an excellent stadium to run the football and it had everything, in 1985, Freeman McNeil had over 1,500 rushing yards that year, however, if this was at Shea instead of Giants Stadium, Freeman could have gotten over 2,000 yards rushing and he might be in the NFL hall of fame, and yes, the Giants Stadium turf really did shorten his career, what a shame!!
One of the greatest missing Super Bowls - Jets vs. Giants in SBXXI If Gastineau doesn't get called for the hit on Kosar, they beat the Broncos whom they scraped on Monday night earlier in the season.
With the talent they had on both sides of the football, they should've went to 3 or 4 SBs, at least winning one. They'd win 9 games in a row then lose 5 outta 6 and end up getting a wild card, smdh
@@aarondigby5054 ill never forget as a kid in 1986 jets were 10-1 paul mgwire on nbc pre game show predicted they would lose rest of their games and he was right. then they beat kc in wild card and we all remember what happened against browns still bothers me to this day
This Jets team should've made the Superbowl that year. That Dolphins team had no right to be there and Todd had to mess up. After 82, the Jets' bad karma only got worse.
Matchups do matter and Miami owned the Jets in 1982. Beating them twice that season by double digits (45-28 and 14-0). They won also 20-19 and Miami’s kicker missed 2 FGs that day. Leahy only missed a PAT and FG. As for Jets -Redskins SB matchup….we will never know. But we do know the Skins beat the Jets in 1979 and 1987.

Bastard Miami Dolphins left the field uncovered so the Jets would lose. SOB's! Then Leon Hess fired Walt Michaels, the only winning coach since Weeb. Goddamn, they were so close!
The drainage system was designed not to need a tarp...just got more rain than it could handle. But when you've got a muddy field, always go with the team all in white.
I live in KY so at 19 yrs old me and few pals went to cincy to watch the Jets kill the Bengals in 1st round the playoffs that yr..Great win that day it was

If they had placed the tarp on that filed, There is no doubt the JETS destroy that Dolphins team !.. playing in that slop held them back, Hurt the running game and the pass rush as well.. With no running game to speak of, That made the Jets one dimensional and exposed Richard Todd as an average QB who couldn't protect the ball !
Funny, in the 2 games that year before the AFC game, miami beat them twice. Jets were a good team but their coaches were not that good. And Todd that year was HORRENDOUS vs miami in 3 games, 13 INTs in those 3 games. Jets in '86 I think were a better team but I think injuries started catching up to Freeman McNeil for the jets who had an underrated career as a jet. Over 10 years if I remember.
@@bdog1323 The name AJ Duhe still brings unpleasant memories. He picked off Richard Todd 3 times, one for a TD. Todd also threw 2 more that day for a total of 5 interceptions.
You do all know that the Miami Dolphins rented and were merely tenants in the Orange Bowl? Same as the University of Miami Hurricanes. Many area high school teams too used the stadium as their home field on Friday nights because they didn’t have a stadium on campus. Most games the Dolphins couldn’t get the city of Miami to spend the money to paint the Dolphins logos on the field for home games (they would only do it for prime time Monday Night Games). To think Shula could direct the city of Miami to do anything is absurd and moronic. It’s why the Dolphins owner finally built their own stadium to get out of Little Havana section of Miami and to stop sharing their field with a college and numerous high school teams. The city did the bare minimum for the Dolphins. Take it from someone who lived there. Your beef is with the city of Miami and the NFL. Why do you think the NFL never had a Super Bowl again in Miami after the 1978 season? It didn’t return the SB to Miami area (Miami Gardens - which isn’t Miami) until 1989.
0-3 vs Miami in 1982 season. Twice losing by double digits. Twice losing in sunshine. Yet Jet fans and media blame the AFC championship game loss on the field conditions. Losers lose and complain about how they got robbed. Winners win and move on.
Yeah I was at that playoff game in the Orange Bowl we were sitting right in front of when AJ Duhe intercepted the pass and ran in for a TD. The place erupted one of the loudest game I've ever been to.
This is when I became a Jets fan when I was around 9 years old.

The Jets are a tortured franchise
The Air Coryell chargers and the NY Sack Exchange Jets were arguably the best teams to never reach a super bowl
At least those air Coryell teams won division titles where the Jets didn't win any division titles.
