1st Place at Stake! (Jets vs. Patriots 2008, Week 11) 

11-5 and missing the playoffs Now that the playoffs are at 7 teams per conference, I highly doubt we see an 11-win team miss the postseason again

Man missing the playoffs with a 11-5 record is crazy to me. There's been teams that have had 1st round bye weeks with a 11-5 record

The time that Matt Cassel almost propelled the patriots into the playoffs. He played really well in this game!!

Man if Brett Favre didn't get hurt that Jets team was AFC Championship bound

"First place" and "jets vs patriots" doesn't sound right

Jets fighting for a playoff spot.....This is how we know we are in a new era.

I will NEVER forget that Cotchery catch that was classic

So many underrated ballers on that Jets offense. Thomas Jones, Leon Washington, Dustin Keller, Laverneus Coles. Loved watching those guys play

Jets started this season 8-3. Between that and the drubbing against the Cardinals earlier in the year, it looked like the best Jets team in years. Maybe even the best team since the days of Bill Parcells And then... they choked it away

Back when the Jets could actually win games.

And after the 54-13 beatdown in 2021, the Jets STILL haven't won a regular season game in Foxboro since this day.

I’m wish it was Brady vs Favre that season.

Sad we started out 8-3 then farve bicep went to hell had a true super bowl team that year and look at shefty on nfl network

This title is ironic, because none of them got first place in their division hahaha

This title caught me off guard

Man the current Jets uniforms make me miss these old Jets uniforms. And I used to think these old uniforms were a bit bland and generic.

I remember watching this game. That td to Moss with one second left was magical. So sad to lose in OT on a fg uff

Schefter as a sideline reporter... speaking of things that the world forgot.

All this does is show me that the Jets need Brett Farve again

The fact that they really did everything to take Randy Moss away,I don’t ever want to hear Randy wasn’t a good teammate cause he wasn’t even getting looked at from Cassel and he was still cheering his team on,blocking and being active

Kris Jenkins was really underrated, dude was ragdolling dudes all game in the run and pass game

Damn, kind of sucks that we didn't get to see Favre vs Brady here.

It's crazy how you get a QB you know can win and how it changes your whole teams confidence.

Crazy that every team in the AFC East was above .500 through 9 weeks

I watched this game live and it was so exciting

I remember watching this live fully expecting the Jets to go on to the Super Bowl at least.

Funny seeing ty law on the jets for the 2nd time in his career then the next year on mcdaniels broncos team

The last time pats and jets were winning. Remember those times

Kris Jenkins was a beast, him and nick Mangold must of had some legendary practice battles where Jenkins was as good against the run as any defensive tackle in the league and could rush the passer

Leon Washington was fast AF bruh Also Favre liked Jericho Cotchery 😆

i didnt know that the titan's head coach Mike Vrabel played for the pats

I can’t be the only one watching this instead of the game tonight playing right now

7:09 is one of the best catches I’ve ever seen. Cotchery caught it one-handed against his helmet and the CB got called for a PI. Glad to see this catch again in nice quality

I will forever love Matt Cassel for that 2008 season

Amazing accuracy by Cassel

Leon Washington is so underrated

7:34 so before Polomalu made that one handed grab, before Antonio Cromartie made a one handed and waaay before Beckham made that sicking TD catch in 2014, here is the underrated player for the Jets to make this sickening move.

The Patriots would have won the AFC East again if they won this game.

Oh yeah. Those days where Brett Favre was on the Jets, Brady was injured and Casell was the QB and of course, Adam Schefter was on NFL Network

Niners sounding like the 2008 patriots 😂

Randy Moss was wide open almost every play shown

Now, Mayo is the HC for the patriots. Time flies😮

Hi I love your videos

Until the last play of regulation I was thinking Cassell had issues with Moss. I mean, when you have the G.O.A.T. out there and you ain't even looking his for most of the game, something is wrong!!!

Really bugs me how the 2008 Patriots went 11-5 and still missed the playoffs

that amazing play by cassel and moss to send it to OT only to leave a man wide open on 3rd and 15

If that game has OT like the one today, Jets would not have won a game. Kicking a field on the first drive to start the OT would mean Patriots have a chance to extend the game or even win the game by scoring a touchdown. That will be crazy!

I been waiting for this one for awhile. I actually thought that with this one the Jets were going to win the Super Bowl. LOL.

We should've had Farve vs Brady that year.

After witnessing the single greatest QB performance of all time with Brady the season before, Cassel’s performance felt a lot more mediocre/average than it really was.. Which was truthfully a solid season all things considered. A lot of fans were really harsh on him, mainly because he wasn’t Tom Brady. Up until he was thrust into a starting role in week 2 of the 2008 season, Cassel hadn’t started a football game since his senior year of high school. Had we made the playoffs that season, he would’ve been a pretty big reason why.

Mangini was very underrated with the Jets.He built an isnane roster via draft. Unfortunately in 07 Pennington got hurt and they went 4-12 08 Favre tore his bicep and they after starting 8-3 ended up 9-7 06 made playoffs after going 10-6

Next should be 2016 Wk 8 Bears vs Vikings

Classic matchup. Favre vs the Patriots. So which one of them ended up winning the division? *Miami*

Man that Jets defense had so many holes

Great game Patroits went 11-5 and still missed the playoffs their division was good in 08.

Wait, how did the jets kick a field goal to win the game, because the pats never got a drive in OT

this jets team reminds me a lot of aarons jets team this year like bro so many similarties

The last time Ty Law played in New England & against his old Patriots team

Does it feel like Cassel and Moss were trying to impersonate Eli Manning and David Tyree at the end of regulation?

Cassel got PAID

MOSSED IT 🔥

just makes me miss old #4

4363 days since my jets one in Foxbough Massachusetts

Mangini was hella underrated with the Jets.He drafted and built a ridiculously talented roster which Rex Ryan used later to have success. 06 with Mangini hey go 10-6 and make playoffs to play Patriots 07 they 4-12 but after game 7 Chad Pennington gets hurt 08 They start 8-3 with a pro bowl level Favre and then he tears his right bicep and they end up 9-7 Mangini did a solid job with the Jets in my opinion

Didn't the dolphins win the divison that year

If only Favre didn't get hurt...he might've retired a Jet. Jets might even win a ring or two

Ah yes, 2008. The 2nd of only 2 seasons where the Patriots did not win the AFC East because Tom Brady went down with a torn ACL week one. That 2008 Patriots team was something else though. Going 11-5 with Cassel wasn't an easy feat, but it showed that the Patriots were at least capable of surviving without Tom Brady. Even without him at QB, that offense was still absolutely loaded. It just feels like one of those 'What could have been?' type of seasons. New England might have gone undefeated again had Brady not gotten hurt. Same team as 2007 with an even weaker schedule. Oh well.

Two rivals are going to play tonight

If only Favre didn't get hurt the Jets could have made a deep playoff run.

Patriots went 11-5 this season and somehow still missed the playoffs After this season Matt Cassell got big money from the Chiefs to be their starting quarterback. Wasn't as good as Alex Smith or Patrick Mahomes.

THIS WAS INTERESTING........

Jets last regular season win at foxboro

Even if Pats would've made the playoffs they would have gotten crushed by the that legendary 08 Steelers defense

All that for the fins to win the division anyways

this game hurts because if the pats win this game they get into the playoffs because 11 wins wasnt enough because of the stinking 8-8 chargers

Monday’s game for NFL week 9 2020 was “battle for last place”

Patriots all day!

When tom brady was injured

Even though Cassel made a pro bowl with the chiefs, I still can’t believe Kansas City gave up a second round pick for him. Especially since Todd Haley hated him too

2002, 2008 and 2020 were the rare moments that the patriots ever had a bad season with belichick.

The Jets signed cj Mosley away from Ravens after 2018 season so that means he's their second player with that name because Ravens drafted cj Mosley in 2014

2008 AFC East: Greatest Division Ever. Brett Favre's Jets go to overtime against Matt Cassel's Patriots for a shot at the division, only for Mr Comeback Player Of The Year himself Chad Pennington to seize it with the "wildcat" Dolphins. Oh, and Ty Law is a Jet (again), because why not?

if jets get 0-16 the brown and lions be like: "welcome to the club"

Kevin Faulk is one of the best receiving backs of all-time............ pause

I forgot Favre played for ny

Post the 2010 11 divisional round between the Jets and the pats that was the Bart Scott can’t wait game

The year Bob Papa succeeded Bryant Gumbel on NFL Network games

It’s funny cuz the Dolphins ended up winning that division that year

Brett Favre had a good game against the New England Patriots!!! Let's go Jets!!! J e t s Jets Jets Jets!!! I love the New York Jets!!! I 🖤 #4!!! I love Brett Favre!!!

The last time the Jets beat the pats in Foxboro

The AFC east that year looked like the NFC west of 2020

As a bears fan you should put are 2013 match-up against the vikings. Week 2

That moment you hear the name CJ Mosley 😳. You’re confused. It’s ok. I was too..

The equal to the season of the 08 patriots is when you have a game that you play and you have an op account and then you give your phone to your little brother so he can ply and he has all your op people now In this season Brady is the older brother The patriots QB is the little brother The game or the account is the whole other team which is basically the 07 patriots

Jets vs Patriots battle for first place when neither of these teams finished in first in 2008

I think Jets and first place doesn't belong in the same sentence, like ever

Jaguars vs texans 2009 please

Lmaoo it was our last regular season win in new England smh loll 😂

Back when Brett Favre was playing for the Jets and Matt Cassel was playing for the injured Tom Brady

The funny thing is neither the jets or patriots won the division that year the dolphins did
