New York Jets Edit Meaning

1.

Formed in 1960 as a member of the AFL, the originally called themselves the Titans and were stuck being NY's 2nd rate team (behind the Giants). They turned it around in the late 1960s, with Joe Namath at quarterback. In 1968, they shocked the world (and the Colts) with an amazing win in Super Bowl III to capture their only title and to give the AFL credibility in its waning moments. Were a medicore franchise for many years afterward, with no playoff berths in the 1970s and just 5 from 1980-1997. In 1998, they assembled a Super Bowl worthy team, but were unable to win in the playoffs. The following 2 years, they were in the playoff hunt, but collapsed in December to miss the postseason. Have been a decent frachise recently, with 3 playoff berths in the last 5 years, but struggled with injury and were dismal in 2005.

"And Joe Namath lives up to his guarantee, the New York Jets have stunned everyone with a 17-6 victory to capture the world championship."

2.

a team in the AFC East that will in a couple years be serious contenders. for those who say they suck, check the facts: under a first year coach(mangini) they made the playoffs when every1 thought they would suck, leon washington is a young, solid RB, jerricho cotchery is also a good, young WR, chad pennington is back to being good and not injurey prone, kellen clemens is the future for them, and the other teams r on the decline. the pats havent won the super bowl since 2004, they didnt make it to the super bowl in 05 or 06, they dont have WR's, and their just losing their dominance of the league now. the bills r gonna be good in a couple years but not as good as the jets will because their in re-building mode pretty much, same with dolphins. plus their could possibly not even be a super bowl if it werent for the Jets and their super bowl III victory
