New York Jets

In 1999 I broke a lamp while watching John Elway complete a 50 yard pass to Ed McCaffery to essentially end the Jets season. In 2005 Doug Brien ripped out my heart when he missed both 47 and 42 yard field goals which would have sent the Jets to the AFC Championship game against the heavily favored Steelers. I've dealt with Vinny Testaverde, Ray Lucas, Glenn Foley, Chad Pennington, and Brett Favre, just to name a few quarterbacks who have tried and failed to deliver a Super Bowl to the Jets. The only way to top the incompetence of the quarterbacks is to look at the head coaches. Al Groh, Herman Edwards, and Eric Mangini have ruined the early part of the 2000's.

With the start of 2009 we have the start of a new season and many new chances for the Jets to disappoint. However, Rex Ryan and Mark Sanchez provide some sense stability for generations of fans who haven't even been close to a Super Bowl. I will document these disappointments (with some successes mixed in) along with news that will be added as I find it.
