OT: Hey Al, the AFC Historical Kings are...

[ej797]

From the Sun Sentinel.com:

Sometimes, I cater to the audience.

"I knew you'd enjoy the results of this exercise.

The AFC East has existed since the 1970 AFL merger.

The Colts moved out of the division in 2002.

So, from 1970 through 2001 (including the two strike years), it was possible for the other four teams to finish anywhere from first to fifth. From 2002 to 2008, it was possible to finish from first to fourth. If the teams had the same records, I ranked them based on the tiebreakers.

Here's how it came out....

Miami Dolphins: 14 first-place finishes. Average finish of 2.16

New York Jets: 2 first-place finishes. Average finish of 3.38.

New England Patriots: 10 first-place finishes. Average finish of 2.79.

Buffalo Bills: 7 first-place finishes. Average finish of 3.08.

(The Baltimore/Indianapolis Colts, for the record, had six first-place finishes.)"


I had no idea that the Jets have only won the division twice. No wonder they are always so mad at us...

Yeah, what he said!!!!!!!!

 

[carlosngloria]

Yea Go Crowder. lmao. gotta love the offseason drama

 

[flfireman1]

No!! But the Jets drafted Mark Sanchez this year, and last year they got Brett Farve, so surely they have more than 2 first place finishes????

(this should get the masses riled up)

The Jets are one of the saddest organizations in professional sports IMO. They talk alot of ****, and suck out every year.. Big names or not.
HORRIBLE front office management..

WOW! Talk about short term memory.....what happened last year? A little thing called AFC East Division Champs, which the dolphins won by beating a team....I cant remember which one.....Oh yea, the Jets!!! The game that sent Farve back into retirement.

Dolphins made the playoffs, something the Jets havent sniffed in a while, and got another pretty little banner to hang in the stadium. Not to mention one of the quickest turn arounds in NFL history going from last place to making the playoffs.

But thats all that happened last year.

lol yea they only play twice every year! its been a long day lmao!

 

[illal]

and they got wiped out in the first round which means they did jack $!@%

i can admit they had a hell of a turn around as did the jets but as much as i hate NE do you really think NY or miami would have had a shot at the afc east title if brady wasnt injured? i think not but none the less it was a good season for both teams

 

[KromiX]

lol...... from doing nothing to good season for both teams... the usual sporadic confused jets fan I think Division champs is something... I think loosing the division championship game to the team ur talkn about is something.... one is good one is bad... its all how you spin it in and we all know how jets fans like to spin things
