The New York Jets have been around for over 60 years, and during that time, they’ve had their ups and downs. Some seasons have been filled with playoff runs and Super Bowl victories, while others have left fans feeling disappointed and frustrated. In this article, we’ll take a look at a list of New York Jets seasons and their notable moments, both good and bad.

The early years: 1960-1969

The Jets’ inaugural season in 1960 was a forgettable one, with the team finishing 5-8-1. It wasn’t until the 1968 season that the Jets made their mark. Led by quarterback Joe Namath and their famous upset victory over the Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl III (which Namath famously guaranteed), the Jets won their first and only Super Bowl to date.

The Namath Era: 1970-1979

After their Super Bowl victory, the Jets struggled to maintain their success. However, quarterback Joe Namath played some of his best football during this stretch, including a 4,007 yard passing season in 1972. Namath’s heroics wouldn’t be enough to get the Jets back to the Super Bowl, however, and the team began a downward slide in the late 70s.

The Walton years: 1980-1989

The Jets had some success early in the decade, making the playoffs in 1981 and 1982. However, the team struggled in the latter half of the decade, with head coach Joe Walton leading a string of mediocre teams.

The Parcells years: 1990-1999

Bill Parcells took over as head coach of the Jets in 1997, and his influence was felt immediately. The team made the playoffs in his first season, and in 1998, they had one of their best seasons in years, finishing with a 12-4 record and reaching the AFC Championship game before falling to the Denver Broncos.

The Testaverde/Martin years: 2000-2009

The Jets enjoyed some success in the early 2000s, led by quarterback Vinny Testaverde and running back Curtis Martin. The team reached the playoffs in 2001 and 2002, and in 2006, they made it all the way to the AFC Championship game before losing to the Indianapolis Colts.

The Rex Ryan years: 2010-2014

The Jets had some of their most memorable moments during the Rex Ryan era. Ryan, known for his brash personality, led the Jets to two AFC Championship games in his first two seasons with the team. However, the team never made it back to the playoffs during his tenure, and Ryan was fired after the 2014 season.

The Bowles years: 2015-2018

After Ryan was fired, the Jets hired Todd Bowles as head coach. The team struggled during his tenure, never making it to the playoffs and finishing with losing records in three of his four seasons.

The Gase years: 2019-present

Adam Gase took over as head coach in 2019, and he’s had a rocky start to his tenure. The team finished with a 7-9 record in his first season, and they currently have a record of 0-5 in the 2020 season.

In conclusion, the New York Jets have had a rollercoaster of a history, with some highs and lows along the way. Despite not winning a Super Bowl since 1969, the team has had some memorable moments and legendary players throughout their history, and their fans continue to support them through thick and thin.
