This is probably the most extensive poll i think that has been done for nyjetsfan.com so I would be really appreciative for answers haha. I also believe that this will spawn a lot of interesting answers as well.

Due to most of the people, like myself, freaking out at this entire year of the Jets, I decided to make a poll on the some of the worst situations to transpire with this organization of all time.

If anyone answers Other of course, please feel free to post what that was in the comments section. And since there are sooooo many wonderful moments in the history of this organization, feel free to pick more than one moment, but please make it 3 moments at most. Thank you, and let the debate begin!

Hard not to pick 2012 just because its been blunder after blunder and the season isn't even over yet.

Injuries bad personnel decisions bad coaching decisions lack of talent. The PR being handled like a joke

[jet-man]

you also have the afc championships where the team fell short against the broncos in denver when they were leading by 10.

and the steelers where herm kept going to the kicker doug brien and he missed 3 kicks.

I do agree that the championship games were hard to swallow for a lot of Jets fans, but they were definitely not frustrating for the fact that the team was considered a "very good" team, and weren't embarrassing from start to finish. However I did mention the Doug Brien missing the two potential GW FG's in the divisional playoff.

How is this season even close to the worst situation in Jets history? They lack talent and have a losing record, what is so crazy about that? The only dumb thing was extending Sanchez and being stuck with him next season.

Refer to Season Summary post.

I said moving into Giants stadium and passing on Marino. Also passing on Rodgers could be on the list. Moving into Giants stadium was the first move of Leon Hess saying we are a 2nd class team and we still have not shaken that image. Missing QB prospects year after year is right behind it. You could make this list for any team but ours has some interesting twists.

[Mr_Jet]

I thought you could only vote once so I voted for passing on Marino. That not only hurt us because we missed out on one of the best QBs of all time but also because he went to a division rival and played his entire career there. Marino, Al Toon and the Sack Exchange. That would have made the team Super Bowl contenders during the mid 80s.

first thought i had in my mind was that damm Doug Brien field goal debacle,shit still stings...

great list! tough to pick 1

I voted for this year because I wasn't around for some of the really old ones, but also because of the weight of mistakes. Some of the other things were big mistakes, but the franchise couldn't get out of it's own way this year.

How could anyone not vote for belichick leaving as the worst. In one move, the pats turned into a dynasty and we turned mostly into a laughing stock. Also, Gastineau vs. Browns was in 1986 playoffs. That was the year we started 10-1 the lost our last 5 games.

Thanks for the point out, forgot which year it was.

It's surely hard to compare a lot of those situations, given that some encompass whole seasons, others individual decisions and games and some just individual plays. But there's no doubting this team has had one painful history since Super Bowl III.

Certainly during the years I've been a Jets fan (since the early 2000s) this year has been the most depressing. Previous years have had their fair share of miserable moments that you'd wish never happened. This year though, it just seems that the wounds have been more self inflicted than at other times. We've done less with more talent before, but I don't think we've ever had a team, especially the offense, built with such deliberate complacency. Under Edwards and Mangini we had down years, but then they were largely caused by having a brittle QB; this year we've been horrific for the vast majority of the season with Sanchez under center. The injury to Revis (and that suffered by Holmes) didn't help but it's easier to make up for the loss of a corner than it is your signal caller on offense. I don't think we've had as many losses as horrible to watch as this year either (Tennessee, Seattle, New England, San Francisco and Miami), while there was the most unconvincing victory I think any team has recorded against Arizona.
The good news it will be over in a fortnight. But then comes an uncertain offseason...

I voted for the Vinny T injury.
that was our year we were loaded with talent , made teh AFc champ game the year before and in the opening game no contact Vinny T goes on IR ending the season

[nejets2820]

I must point out again, that since there are a ton of terrible moments, please feel free to click on more than one moment.

[MikeGangGreenFan2]

Doug brien miss FGs almost made me cry. I thought we were going to get killed b4 that game and to lose like that just f***ing sucked. I remember everyone on this site (the old site)that night logged off right after that game.

[nejets2820]

I had to find this just to say that it's starting to become obvious that the whole year of 2012 now has to rank as one of the worst jets situations of all time thanks to the welcoming comments Rex Ryan just said about an hour or two ago.

[ganggreen2003]

The 2012 season is probably one of the worst situations, but there are a lot of situations on the list that could of gotten my vote...but as a situation the 2012 would be the one who took the cake, and the rest of those listed on the survey would be more incidents than situations...but the 2012 New York Jets aka The ButtFumble of 2012 would be the worst situation in the entire JETS history...

[a1elbow2.0]

I think we're all going to look back and wonder why 2013 wasn't on the list.
