Perfect for me.  Since my life sucks and I live in the past anyway.  My 80's childhood.  I didn't start watching football until the 1990 season when Marty made the Chiefs good again and got us back into the playoffs.  The season the Bills lost to the Giants on the Scott Norwood missed field goal.  That was the first season of football that I watched.  The 49ers were actually the best team in the league that year, but they lost in one of the most historic NFC Championship Games in history, when Joe Montana got knocked out and hit so hard that he didn't come back for 2 years (coming then to the Kansas City Chiefs to lead us to the AFC Championship Game in 93).

The great thing for me as an 80's kid about the 49ers is that you always remember being a kid you wanted to know... who is the best?   So you would ask your big brother, or ask the kids on the playground, but you always knew in those days... who is the best?  And the answers were so clear when you were a kid and accepted as if it was just the way life was and God had intended.  So these were our heroes when we were kids. 

Best in NBA?  Jordan
Best in College Basketball - Danny Manning
Heavyweight Champ Boxing - Mike Tyson
WWF Champ - Hogan
Best in Baseball - The Oakland A's
Best Baseball Player - Jose Canseco

Best Football Team - The San Francisco 49ers
Best Player in the NFL - Joe Montana

Marty got us to the playoffs pretty much every year of the 90's.  But the year we got Joe was the only year we made it all the way to the AFC Championship.  It was a great year.  Montana and Marcus Allen led us to victory against that great Oilers Buddy Ryan defense.

The Bills kicked our asses every year in the playoffs though.  Joe got literally knocked out of the game.  Before that he was fighting for us though.  He had us on the doorstep right before halftime and our receiver let the ball bounce off his chest in the endzone and the Bills picked it off for a touchback.

That's the closest we ever got with Marty.   Wasn't a Superbowl but going to the AFC championship game with great guys like Marty, Joe, and Marcus Allen is even more fun than winning 3 Superbowls with guys like Travis Kelce.

yeah its the same with the Jets in '98 we got to the championship game with Vinny Testaverde and Parcells coaching but lost in Denver to Elway

again in 2009 and 2010 we got there with Mark Sanchez and Rex Ryan coaching and lost to Peyton Manning and the Colts 1 year and Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers the other

those are the Jets highlights since I've been a fan lol

That's a miracle that you got to the AFC Championship with crazy ass Rex Ryan and that bumb Sanchez as your quarterback.  I'm a big Buddy Ryan fan, but I'm not so sure about Rex Ryan.  I do remember that year, because I was rooting for them because they were the underdog, almost like Cinderella story.

Parcells and Vinny was a great year too.  Parcells is an amazing coach, and Vinny a great competitor.  That was a cool team.

You guys also had that running back Thomas Jones.  He came over to the Chiefs for a year after he left the Jets

Rex was decent...he could definitely coach defense...Sanchez might be the worst QB to ever make 2 consecutive championship games

that '98 team was my favorite Jet team...I really thought they had a shot...I didnt feel that way the 2 teams in this decade

But all these Jets teams you are mentioning never really seemed that talented.  They seemed to be winning big games by luck or turnovers, or getting motivated by Rex Ryan or Parcells.  Which does make it more exciting when they play over their heads like that.

I loved Rex Ryan back when he was a coach.  It's more as a commentator that he started to seem like a moron to me.  But back when he was with the Jets he was one of my favorite coaches.

true we never had the most talent...in 2015 we had Ryan Fitzpatrick who had a great year for us with 31 td passes and Vinny had that great year in '98 but other than that you have to go back to the 80s to find a really talented team...2015 was also the last winning season we had so its been a drought to say the least

That's pretty bad when a New York team in a New York market can't seem to get it together.  In all my years as a Chiefs fan we have always expected to win against the Jets.  There was never a season that I watched (1990 was my first year, the Jets Ken O'Brien 8-8 6th seed year) there has never been a year that the Chiefs played the Jets when we didn't go in with confidence that it was a very winnable game.

Ken O Brien had a pretty good Jets career...unfortunately most of that came before I started watching football around 1988-89
