If anyone asks why you need a good o-line in the NFL, show them this video and remind them that the Jets made the AFC Championship twice with Sanchez

Think about this...Sanchez beat Carson Palmer, Philip Rivers, Peyton Manning and Tom Brady in the playoffs.

The Rex Ryan years were the best years as a Jet fan

Sanchez was cold in the playoffs 💯💯

As a Jets fan, this shit legit brought tears to my eyes. Can't believe we didn't win a sb with that squad. God those teams were special

The Jets didn’t *suck* in 2001-2008 either, they often went toe to toe with the Patriots in that era too. But when Rex Ryan became the coach the Jets became a completely different team, after Rex said he wasn’t there to “kiss belichick’s rings”

Brings back awesome memories. That 2011 divisional game beating Brady in foxborough was special. Should’ve gotten LT to a super bowl but I’m glad he was a jet. So many good players from back in the day wore the green and white

D'Brickashaw, Faneca, Mangold, Woody; that is an INSANE O-Line

The key for this team was the fact that they had 4 pro bowl offensive linemen, a thing the Jets haven't had since Mangold retired.

Rex Ryan thanks and Shonn Greene, T Jones, Cotchery, Braylon, Keller, Ferguson, Mangold.

By far the best jets team i ever saw, greene and LT, holmes cotch keller and edwards, that badass line, and our defense was insane

To be fair they were pretty good in 2015

When the Jets would celebrate with their arms out as a plane that was the greatest feeling at the time. Just watching that was awesome to see. They gotta bring that back.

Those 2 seasons were absolutely amazing for me as a young jets fan. I remember all these guys. I went to the last game at giants stadium against the bengals in January , it was so fucking cold

The jets were dangerous in the playoffs at that time. Made you proud of the team

That ‘10 season where LT, Holmes, and Sanchez absolutely dominated those playoffs games was a sight to see

Fun fact: mark Sanchez has a better playoff winning percentage than Joe Namath

The steeler game always breaks my heart cause we scored 19 unanswered points and would have went down as one of the greatest playoff games in history had we completed the comeback and went to the super bowl

I remember being 10-6 in 2015

You will never talk me out of thinking that if Brett Favre stood on the Jets for the 2009 season, they would have won the Super Bowl that year.

0:56 RIP Cedric Benson🙏

Playoff Sanchez was a different kind of special lol. Those were the days back then. Hard to believe it’s been 10 years since...

Anyone coming here after we signed bell #JETUP

9:00: Jets were up 17-6 and they blew it!!! vs Colts in the 2009 AFC title game this was their best chance to go to the SB

Good times. I long for those days.

These days are coming back soon....we got Darnold and it will all fall in place.

Ryan's crazy, blitzing defense worked so well because of Derelle Revis. You can take crazy chances when you have the best one on one cornerback in the league.

brings back so many memories lol smh shoulda put the "cant wait" moment from bart scott right after the NE game lol. classic moment in nfl history

Some great memories here. Thanks for posting. I was at the San Diego game and remember commenting that there were 50,000 'really nervous' southern Californians late in the 4th. The Indy game (1st championship), Indy was just a better team that year. The Pittsburgh game is the one that will bother me for the rest of my life. It seemed like Pittsburgh was up three scores in the blink of an eye and the Jets just kept on fighting back. No good reason that they started to flat. Rex and Sanchez worked very well together.

I remember that Steelers game, if we stop them on that 4th down we go down the field and score I was so fucking upset but we had a chance we can establish both lines and with Sam we can make a push

Dustin Keller had so much potential. He suffered one of the worse leg injury that automatically ended a promising career.😊

Why did this come up on my feed lmao thanks for reminding me of the good times

Don’t Forget 2015!! We were 10-6. The reason we didn’t advance was the Steelers beat us that year , and their record was the same as ours. It was an interception in the end zone with less then two minutes left against the Bills that prevented us winning our 11th game.

Best football of Sanchez's career in those two playoffs, good times

I was in middle school on top of the world thinking mark Sanchez was the next franchise savior 🤣 We had a hell of a run

Just seeing the energy within that team brings back great memories. Thanks for the video. Can’t wait to see these young jets build an empire.

I remember those good times 😢

how can you knock Sanchize, the guy played with heart, sure he wasnt the most talented, but in the past 10 yrs he's the only QB that has had any success for us. It wasnt all him with our wins in the playoffs, but he was a big part. Good memories. And when we got eliminated by Indy that one year, he played great our defense shit the bed. Even against Pitt we just ran out of time. Lets hope Sam can get things rolling this year or he'll be looking for a new team.

I remember them beating my Patriots in the playoffs in 2010

As a Jets fan born in 1979, the game against the Asterisks is my greatest football memory.

That Pitt loss still makes me sick

My best years as a Jet fan ..i loved those teams and before he lost his confidence Mark balled out with Braylon Edwards and company, Bring Back REX!

That 2011 divisional game against the pats was fucking amazing I really thought we could’ve made it to the super bowl the defense choked against the Steelers In the championship game the offense was not the problem in the playoffs

Bro I miss Thomas Jones 😢

Darnold and the jets in 2020

I am an Eagles fan and I really wish the Jets had won that AFC title game @ Pittsburgh. The 2010 super bowl was so stale and boring with Pittsburgh in it. Sanchez, LT and the Jets were a fun team to root for once Vick’s birds got eliminated.

Been alive 33 years aside from the 06 Mets: these were my favorite teams

Im a colts fan but yall were really good with Rex

Shoutout thomas jones, one of the legit most underated runners ever

I’ll never forget that Jets team and our playoff runs

They were so close to the super bowl

should never fired rex smh

God damm we were so close yet now were like centuries from experience this again 😭😭😭

The Jets had some damn good teams those two years. Although seeing Jason Taylor wearing a Jets uniform will forever make me ill lol

RIP Cedric Benson. At this point I would prefer Rex Ryan back as our coach. The reason Sanchez was so successful was because of the great offensive line, great running game & stout defense. Pay the hell attention Gase.

Jets are finally building towards this now i truly believe that but it will be longer term successes and younger players this time around but the talent we had on offense was nuts and then the defense was one of the best I’ve ever seen

This year we have a better roster than I’ve ever seen in my life, let’s hope we can make this happen again because I miss it

i cry when i think about this team. I literally loved every person on this team. So sad they never went or won the bowl. smh

Thanks for doing that video...iam an Australian fan ..i know it's not about winning..but they had the Steelers worried.... there is a couple in this town from usa... particularly Pennsylvania..both Steelers fans ..he always laughes at me when I say jets will be in the play offs this year

Wow. I miss the energy that Rex brought to the team! I'm 20, this is the best stretch of football that I've seen this team play in my life.

It's so refreshing to have something to root for again in 2022! J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets!

jets are slowly getting back there, but i hope it isn't too late. i really have high hopes for michael carter, AVT, wilson and moore. they could cement the offense core soon

I thought Sanchez was good but his defense helped him a lot to LOOK good

Actually the last year they were good was 2015 they would have made the playoffs if the Steelers would have lost and they went 10-6 that’s there first winning record since 2010 so actually it was 2015

Some really great handoffs from Sanchez

Those two teams were a quarterback away from back to back super bowls.

Brought tears to my eyes

Jets got rid of Coach Ryan and fell into a ten year low, illustrating that it wasn't Ryan, it was Woody Johnson and his mismanagement all along.

Jericho Cotchery is my dad

This Jets team was the last team to take Brady and the Patriots down before the AFC Championship and now they've signed a game changer with Le'Veon Bell. I was a junior and senior in high school during these four playoff games and they feel like such a long time ago to me

Dope vid bro

I was a junior in high school. A wife, a mortgage, 2 kids and a business later I'm still waiting to get back here. Here's to another decade of mediocrity.

0:00 I miss the Bengal head logo Sunday Night Football used for their scoreboard graphics when Cincinnati had an SNF game. I also miss the Viking horn logo they used for Minnesota.

Great video.....'till the butt fumble. C'mon man! One bad play over shadows what an underated offensive team that was. Yeah, the defense was the star. But if they could have kept that core together...Cotchery, Holmes, Edwards, Keller along with LT. Good team. Schotty was a decent play caller too. So much better than Gase.

I remember that San Diego game like it was yesterday. Only it wasn't. That was a great season, and I believe the last one I felt genuinely excited about. It's been much too long.

You really had to add that last clip

I miss THIS team so much.

Said it a million times. If we made a stop late and gave Sanchez the ball we would of scored and gone to the super bowl. Just crazy how far we fell after that night.

As a Jets fan all my life these past nine years have been absolutely painful in everyway and its just a nightmare to watch (Ik people are saying 2015 which is true 10-6 isnt that bad but it doesnt make missing the playoffs for the past nine years any easier.) I have never seen a team lose like the New York Jets and they are in the top 3 most painful football teams to root for. Every year just wasted draft pick after pick (adams being the exception, and darnold give him time i guess) and horrible moves and AWFUL ownership from the Johnson's make this team a form of torture to watch. I love this team and i will never leave but damn do they make it hard. I was 11 when they were in the playoffs last and it was an AFC Championship game. I miss this team.

This was really only a few years into my experience as a Jets fan. Thomas Jones is who really hooked me a few years earlier, but man these were good times. Before Sanchez became the Butt-fumbler. Back when we still had a good O-line, and we knew that you need talent around your QB. I thought I was in for a fun ride as a Jets fan, but boy oh boy was I wrong about that.

Jericho Cothery was a great Jet. GREAT!

They didn’t suck in 2008 either. They would’ve been AFC Favorites if Brett Favre didn’t get injured late in the season

Sanchez first time facing the Patriots was a W. Felt good to torment everyone in the bar.

Cotchery!!! That dude was a dope ass player to watch for the jets... good times

Oh how I miss those good old days! Hopefully we have a winning record this upcoming SZN.

Colts game breaks my heart. Was in Indy for that game and colts fans actually started to leave when they were down by 11 and wish us luck in the Super Bowl.

Brings a tear to my eye

Praying we can get back to this in the next few years

2015 wasn't that bad, we just lucked out of the playoffs. I have a really good feeling this is the last year the title of this video would be relevant.

IDC what anyone says ..Rex Ryan was a good coach. He gave that team an identity...

I'd put that 2008 season in there too. they were 8-3 and had just dominated 10-0 Titans before Favre tore a biceps tendon. same story: dominant defense and run game, poor QB play had they found a middle of the pack QB for this stretch they very well could've won a ring

It is amazing when you have a offensive line what that can do for your team.

Feels like it was just yesterday 😢 hopefully they can give us new memories

Our 2015 Jets team was good as well. We were 10-6 but just couldnt finish off the season with the win we needed to get to the playoffs. The beauty out that team is although we still had core players like Ferguson, Mangold, Harris, Pace, Cromartie, and Revis from the 09-11 years, we added quality young players and more importantly, solid free agents to fix holes. The team was a much different team in terms of scheme though. Where with Rex we were more run, run, run, run, play action...the 2015 Jets were more spread with Decker and Marshall as our two main receiving targets. Not to mention the bearded wonder Ryan Fitzpatrick who killed it at quarterback with 31 touchdowns and 15 interceptions and almost 4,000 yards passing. In my opinion, the 2015 team was a much more exciting team to watch play, though their defense wasnt as good as the 2009 team, they were comparable to 2010. If you havent seen highlights of the 2015 Jets, you need to.

Best years was when we had the best secondaries. That defense was insane

Was Mark Sanchez overrated or underrated? In retrospect I'm having a hard time deciding. My theory is that when all of these key pieces started going down around him, he suffered a confidence crisis and never recovered.

This gonna be us this year... but we’re not losing in conf championship

5:31...best part of Greene aping LT's stupid celebration.

That Steelers game will always be a thorn on my a**. All they needed was a touchdown in the first half. Sanchez was beat up in the first half but played the best two quarters of his entire career in the second.

2011 truly felt like "the year", especially if they were able to slay the AFC's last three Super Bowl contenders on the road to get there. 2 outta 3 ain't bad, but man... that one stung.
