Another Fan Posted November 8, 2018 Posted November 8, 2018 Bills won 16-13 in OT. It wasn't as bad as the Browns game that year but it was pretty brutal to watch. Lindell kicked a field goal with no time left in OT to win. I think it was Lindell? Rex's and Sanchez's first year with the Jets. Sanchez threw 5 INT's, including one at the end to I believe Poz which set up the winning FG. Was as Dick J a coached game as I can remember (ultra conservative to the max). I guess I'm flashing back to that game now because the Jets have a rookie QB and the Bills have another conservative coach with an extremely weak offense. Only reason Bills won that day was because of Sanchez's 5 picks. I think the Jets field goal holder even dropped the snap when they were attempting to win in overtime. I just see a very similar game playing out Sunday.

History could very well repeat itself - the parallels are certainly there, but the final score would have to be 9-6 because I think our offense forgot what double digits are.

KD in CA Posted November 8, 2018 Posted November 8, 2018 IIRC it was raining hard that day. I was coming back from Newark or somewhere and drove right past the Meadowlands during OT while listening to the game on radio.
fridge Posted November 8, 2018 Posted November 8, 2018 Here's the boxscore for anyone interested. The funny thing is, this was the week following the infamous 6-3 Browns game. Everyone remembers Trent running out of bounds as the end of his time here, but he actually started the Jets game the OP is referring to, and Fitzpatrick came off the bench and took over for the rest of the year. I always remember the 09 Bills as the weird TO season, but looking back it was really just such a mess of a year... Jauron went 3-6 before finally getting canned. Fitzpatrick came in and won some games and Fred made his debut as our best RB despite it being his third year with us. Byrd had 9 INTs in 11 games. We canned our OC and went with Alex Van Pelt right as the season began. Crazy year. God we were terrible, but somehow still better than we are today. 1
Steptide Posted November 8, 2018 Posted November 8, 2018 (edited) If I remember this game right, the jets got in fg range in ot, tried to kick the fg and botched it, tried to throw the ball in a panic if I remember right. I vaguely remember this game ending close to 5:30 at night Edited November 8, 2018 by Steptide

I honestly believe that team could have been so much more that year. If Fitz started from the beginning and Jauron wasn’t around. TO and the young Freddie and Stevie were apart of that team as well

One of my favorite Jets games of all times was in the 90's when Jet fans were so frustrated about losing that they were starting fires in the stands..

I was coming back from Newark or somewhere and drove right past the Meadowlands during OT while listening to the game on radio. I was at the game with a friend who is a big Jets fan, my brother-in-law (another freaking Jets fan) gave us his season tickets a few rows from the top of the stadium in the end zone. A day before the forecast was for a miserable windy, cold, rainy day. I was dressed for the worst and ended up sweating my ass off. I don't think it rained heavily during the game. 33 minutes ago, Steptide said: If I remember this game right, the jets got in fg range in ot, tried to kick the fg and botched it, tried to throw the ball in a panic if I remember right. I vaguely remember this game ending close to 5:30 at night Midway through the 2nd quarter a guy and his gf come up to the top of the stadium and offer us his field level end zone tix. Said he wanted to hang with his friends up top. With nothing to lose we head down at half-time and end up maybe 15-20 rows from the field. Absolutely correct on the botched FG, happened right in front of us. It ended up being the 6th interception of the day for the Jets. An ugly ugly game for sure but I have fond memories of it. http://www.espn.com/nfl/playbyplay?gameId=291018020

We had a ton of injuries that year also. I believe we had like 12 guys on ir. I remember fans were screaming for jauron to be fired. The team was so ultra conservative and awful. Everyone had enough of jauron by then. It's amazing he lasted 3 and a half seasons 1

A 98 or 99 yard TD pass comes to mind.

This isn't your good old fashioned variety of Bills suck we are talking about. This is something special going on this year. 1
Bing Bong Posted November 8, 2018 Posted November 8, 2018 Uh didn't that team play the AFC championship? They were stacked, despite their QB.

lacoy38 Posted November 8, 2018 Posted November 8, 2018 Remember that was Fitz debut as a Bill. On side note how did Mark Sanchez get to 2 AFC title games!!

I actually thought what Rex accomplished in the league his first two years was nothing to sneeze at. I admittely even liked when they said he was the new coach here. Obviously he wore out his welcome type thing everywhere
