    I've been a Jets fan since about '80 when I was 5 years old. Over the years I've only had the chance to go to games occassionally - once every other season or two - so I haven't been to all that many, but the Jets have lost every single game that I've ever been to. I've watched painful losses to the Raiders, the Pats a couple of times, the Colts a couple of times (back when they were division rivals), the Eagles, etc... maybe a dozen games or so.

    I'm starting to feel like I'm a bad luck charm or something. This year I had a chance to get tickets for the last game of the season vs. Chad and the Fins. I had a bad feeling about it so I turned them down. Phew! Glad I missed adding that one to the list.

    Anyway, just wondering if anyone else out there has a similar streak going. Maybe I just need to go to more games and better my odds, but what the hell...:sad:

    I'm 4-0 going to games.

    Perhaps we should be at the game at the same time and see who's powers are stronger.

    I challenge you sir :lol:

    I'm hit and miss.

    1-0 in 2002. (GB clincher)
    2-0 in 2003.
    I can't remember what I went to in 2004. Maybe 0-1.
    0-3 in 2005.
    1-0 in 2006.
    3-0 in 2007. (what?!)
    0-3 in 2008.

    I went to some games from the mid-90s through 2001 but I don't remember them well.

    0-1 preseason (this year, vs. Washington)

    Jets won against Pittsburgh in the snow [forget year]
    Won against Cincinatti on a game winning two point conversion from Anthony Becht.
    Won against Houston a couple years back

    Jets lost against Cleveland last year
    Lost against New Orleans a few years back

    Then you sir should be banned from ever entering the stadium. Do us all a favor and shop for a nice HDTV to watch the games on. :wink:

    I'm 0-5 since our last home playoff win against Indy. My first game was the clincher versus Green Bay and then I went to the Colts game right afterwards. Two of the best Jets games ever.

    I want to know what it's like to walk out of the stadium a winner again!!

    I love when everyone on the escalator does the J-E-T-S chant.

    So far the only game I've been able to go to was the preseason game vs the Vikings in 2007, which was unforunately the Jets only loss of the pre-season. So I'm 0-1 basically. Definitely hope to go to another game (regular season and playoff hint hint especially)

    Living next to Green Bay, I can only go go Packer games.

    I've been to roughly 5 or 6 games in my life and the packers won every single one with the exception of one which was sweet, but the one game I wanted them to lose they lost. Why did I want them to lose? They were playing my new york jets :) So I'm basically still undefeated going to games. I'm sure that streak will end one day though. I try to pick competitive games where I'm confident my team will win.

    Lol. Maybe our combined negative powers could combine to propel the Jets to the playoffs.

    i meant that our powers combined would offset since i'm undefeated and you always lose.

    the 4-0 was the WL not 4 for 0.... I should have said i'm perfect when seeing games live, my bad. :beer:

    Badger is right either way. Perhaps a black hole would form.

    well im 2-0. But those are two games from Buffalo. including the 02' opener where Morton returned the kickoff in OT for a touchdown. He was running right towards me it was rediculously sweet.

    Since the NYJs have a under 500 records since there inception as the NYTs means all attendees to the games have seen more losing games then winning games

    I feel your pain. I am also a fan of Newcastle United and Englad football teams so you can imagine how my sporting fandom has been one long catalogue of fail.

    No team I support has ever won anything that I have been alive to see :(
