And the Oilers went in the opposite direction, losing 7 of 9 after a 4-2 start. They wouldn't have another winning season until 1987. They were idiots for firing Bum Phillips, and that bad ownership is what ended up causing them to move from Houston.
@@johnmanier7968 Bum was an average coach and a terrible GM. Just look at his career after Houston. Oh yeah, one job, 0 playoffs and never a winning season.
@@whataboutrob442 4 & 3 in the playoffs with all 3 losses to eventual SB champions and the Pittsburgh Steelers themselves think your comment shows you have no idea of what you speak but you're definitely entitled to your opinion.
JOE KLECKO , M.GASTINEAU , M. LYONS & ABDUL SALAAM TRULY WERE AN ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE FORCE DURING THAT SEASON BECAUSE NO OPPOSING OFFENSE KNEW WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THESE FOUR IMMOVABLE BLOCKS OF GRANITE WHO BY THE WAY PLAYED THE RUN JUST AS WELL AS RUSHING THE QB......... --- THOSE GUYS REALLY WENT ON TO HAVE A CHAMPIONSHIP CALIBER DEFENSE WITH THEIR LB's ALSO - BUTTLE WAS MONSTER WHO TRIED TO DESTROY ANYTHING HE HIT , MAN IF THEY HAD A FEW MORE WEAPONS ON OFFENSE WHO KNOWS ? ?
Early season game at Shea without extra seats in lower bowl by the end zone near where home plate is. Pressure from Leon Hess got Mets and City to allow September games for Jets at Shea.
The Jets played September home games in 1964-1966, but not again until 1978. At that point it was a necessity, because the NFL had just gone to a 16-game schedule, and giving the Mets exclusivity during baseball season would've forced the Jets to play their first 4-5 games of every season on the road (or play at the Meadowlands, as they did against the Colts in September 1977). The Jets opened with 5 straight road games in 1969 and 6 straight in 1973, the years the Mets made the World Series. In both years, earlier home games against division opponents were flipped to later in the season, and the 1973 Jets had to move a home game against the Steelers to Pittsburgh, giving them a 6-8 home-road split.
as soon as we moved to jersey in 1984, what happened to the giants? answer: they started to win! why? we were an example of how not to do it? giants benefitted greatly!
I was 7 in 1980 and that was the first season I followed the NFL. 1981 season really disconcerted me. I couldn't comprehend how Houston was good in 1980 but sucked in 81. For whatever reason I connected with the Oilers in 80 and rooted fro them. I remember seeing the score of this game on TV and couldn't believe the Jets smoked them.
At 4:50, Jim Turner says the Jets are "overrated" and are "not a playoff team." The Jets went 10-5-1, made the playoffs and finished one game out of first place in the AFC East.
Actually he says it about about 30 seconds beforehand. That was clearly an arrogant statement for him to make -- particularly about his former team. Then he made an unnecessarily snide remark about head coach Walt Michaels. Sounds like sour grapes to me. With that kind of unprofessional bias, it's no wonder he didn't last long in the broadcast booth.
Turner was proven quite wrong but reflecting the attitudes of many about the Jets' ineptitude at making the post-season. He knew firsthand that the last time the Jets got into a playoff game, it had been a dozen years ago and they scored a measly six points, Jim having scored them himself. And Walt Michaels, while terrific at game management and defensive strategy, was not a communicative head coach, even for that time. See Joe Klecko and Joe Fields' book "Nose To Nose."
How about the strange 2PM EDT start times at 2:34:35 ? Anyone recall when that was smoothed out to the 1 and 4 PM ET kickoff windows? Was it '84? It made sense for Central and even Mountain time zone teams, but I also seem to remember Baltimore (Colts) home games beginning at 2PM ET.
And that, clearly, is a good thing. All those genius fans were saying fire Walt Michals, when the jets would go 20-7-1 in there next twenty eight games...Talking to fans during a game is not a bright idea
Joe Klecko should finally be getting enshrined into the pro football hall of fame soon. He is a senior selection and needs eighty percent approval from the voters. He barely finished second behind the late Cliff Branch last year. Branch rightfully got in. It should be Klecko, the late Ken Riley of the Bengals, and finally, Chuck Howley. The great Dallas Cowboy linebacker who was only player on losing squad in history to be named mvp in super bowl. Klecko was only player in his career to be voted all-pro at two different positions. Defense end in 1981 and nose tackle in 1985. Every great lineman who played against Klecko said without exception that he should be in the hall of fame. Among those being John Hannah, Anthony Munoz, Joe Delammure.

At 40:20 or so....kenny stabler is not going to take a chance and give the ball back to the jets and have them score a cheap td on his team he wrote the 📖 on cool after earl c carries the ball...next play int...then flea f for jet td.😂😂😂😁
Since this is the game where they had been demonizing stabler for mob gambling ties its also the gane where stabler was dragged from a bar hed been in all night well after sunrise like around 10 am when thet dragged him out of the bar still coninuating an all nighter and he was seen staggering out of a taxi cab arriving at the stadium for the game then displayed the 1st 3/4 of performance youve seen here its a well known story he went back to the locker room at halftime and puked then declared "i'm ready to play"then almost won the game in the 4th qaurter i assumrd that story was from a houstan homegame with the jets but since this was the gambling rumor game this must be the game where it all happened other than richard todd being so sharp if stabler had barely drank enough to survive the night b4(say 3 cases or only one personal keg? And just slept under the keg instead of all over town and 10 cases)houstan should had beaten jets by 3 scorea by halftime 3 foot tall recievers for stablers penchant for grounded throws might have helped as it was all stabler could do was hand it to earl 2of3 plays (with 11 jets fixating keying on an already crippled earl) mark gastaneau and joe kleck (whole jets d)hadnt has as much brew combined all year as stabler had the night b4 this game)
Jesus... After all of that, the scenario you're pontificating about took place the season before in Week 12. 👌 After a horrid 3 quarters of play, Stabler fired 4 4th quarter TD passes (nearly 400 yards total) in leading Houston to a furious 28-28 tie at Shea Stadium. The Jets eventually won on a FG in the OT.
RU-vid blocks random things which at times includes highlights or intros, to make it where the game can be shared have to make cuts to whatever is being blocked if possible without taking out chunks of the game.
He was too banged up physically by that point in his career to play at the level he did during his Pro Bowl years. It also didn't help that he was a party animal off the field. That kind of lifestyle can take a heavy toll on you in a relatively short period of time. By the time he was in his late 30s he already looked like he was well into his 50s.
Let me tell you something, that son of the bitch coach of the dolphins cheated meaning he did not want the orange bowl ground crew to covered the field so the jets offense can play on which absolutely disgrace!
