For me personally, this is the biggest win since I have been a fan (1977). There were big wins in '82, '98, and '02, but this one was so huge, I think the others don't match up. I remember thinking in the 4th quarter of the 2004 Divisional Playoff against the Steelers that if they pulled that out, it would have been the biggest win I'd witnessed....and we all know how that turned out. This was great, because the Jets played the game that they had to play to win. We forced SD to play our game and beat them. Today, I am very proud to be a Jet fan!!!
Hell yeah! Great times!!!!!!! Beating Jacksonville (at home) to go to the title game was great, but expected by many. THIS is the best win of my life..... for a week atleast.
I am 43. Too young (2.5) to remember SB III but I was watching it apparently. This is the greatest JETS win that I can recall in the past 40 Years.
I'd say, before this game, the '83 win over the (then) Los Angeles Raiders (prior to the loss in Miami in the "Mud Bowl") was the second biggest win in this team's history. But that team (the "Sack Exchange"-era Jets) was better regarded than this current group in terms of their chances in the playoffs, and if not for a Shula's crookedness (leaving the Orange Bowl field uncovered during a driving rain storm prior to the game), probably would have been in the Super Bowl. However, with this win today, I say it moves into second place because is their biggest and most important upset since Super Bowl III.
I have been a Jets fan since around '73-'74. I was too young to remember Super Bowl III. I agree this is one of the best/most important wins in the last 35 years.
It's the biggest win I can remember and I've been rooting since 88. This is a new era of Jets football.
So far this is the biggest win since I was a JET FAN(1998). The bigger win will be next week and the greatest win in JET history will be this yrs SB.
HUGE WIN!!!! The only one that I can compare to is the 41-0 pasting of the Colts in the playoffs several years ago...(Been a fan since late 80's)
Definitely the biggest win in my life time. It would have been the 04 game vs. the steelers, but we fucked that one up.
YESSS.. Beating jax was expected this wasnt expected by the "analyst". Im 19 years old and this is my best day as a jet fan.
I was two years old then, and as good as '98 was, my fandom simply wasn't as refined as it is right now, so I'll have to say that this is the biggest win I can think of as a Jets fan
This is the biggest win since '98. If we win the AFC Championship, it'll be the #2 biggest win. Nothing tops Super Bowl III until we win the big one.
41-0 over the Colts in 2002. That was the greatest win the Jets have had since SBIII because we were beating an ex-division rival who clearly was better than us at the time. I'd put this one second.
We took care of business in 98' to get to the AFC Champ game. We did the same today. It's all about how far you go. Biggest win in 10 years, hands down. If we win next week, then you can see biggest win since SBIII.
