Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- The Jets have made many, many mistakes over the years. This might be the most nonsensical of them all. Because during a week 10 game in 1989 between the New York Jets and the Miami Dolphins, Jets head coach Joe Walton decided to kick one of the dumbest field goals, considering the circumstances, that you're ever going to see in your entire life

The 'I'm sorry, WHAT!?!' just doesn't get old 😂
If anything it's become far more relevant in modern society as a whole and has become my default response to all the insanity certain people are supporting.
@@DolFan316 Pretty much.
The Jets and Dumb Decisions: name a more iconic duo...
You beat me to it!
The Chargers and Choking
@@gregorychimenti4422 Chargers, and, idiotic, ownership.
@@matthewdaley746 Yep, they really dont deserve Herbert
@@gregorychimenti4422 Fear, not, they'll, either, seriously, waste, his, career, or, just, guess, wrong.
6:43 Your own fans booing when you get 3 points from a field goal!! The most iconic JETS thing ever
Jets fans that season: “Joe Must Go.”
Jets mgmt: “OK, you win: we get it. We’ve had enough, too.”
It’s so amusing to see Joe Walton at his worst, and at the same time, with nearly every clip of him you see in this video, he’s walking past Rich Kotite, standing Gump-like as the proceedings play out.
It will get worse, Jets fans. Much worse.
Quite the coaching tree there 😂
Nice way to start the holiday weekend
Wait...is that Rich Kotite next to Walton on the sideline? If so that explains so much going forward
How is Kotite not a banned word on most websites? If someone says that word in my presence I have a physical reaction of sickness.
5:39 Even almost 35 years later, seeing the late '80s Fins D actually make a play blows my mind.
Jets-Just End The Season. Even Broadway Joe thinks this play call is foolish...
re: Jeopardy analogy, sometimes that category isn't for contestants. Ask the three who wouldn't even touch the category a few years ago, leaving the late Alex Trebek utterly perplxed.
Remember that NFC Championship Game a few years ago with the Packers trailing by 8 against the Bucs late in the game kicked a field goal instead of going for it on 4th down. The Packers never got the ball back after that. During the off-season Aaron Rodgers was a guest host on Jeopardy!, and during Final Jeopardy one of the contestants who didn't know the response wrote down that they shouldn't have tried the field goal.
Yeah, the Packers, were, as yellow as their helmets, the following year, the Rams realized that you have to take every chance when playing Tom Brady, and, thus, they pulled out the, victory, and, eventually, won, the, SB, it still makes me laugh that people, actually, thought that, Tampa Bay, were, the, "better," team.
JG9 made a Dumb Decisions video about it, and it's one of my favorite of the series
@@arizonawrestlinginterviews1040 Since, it's, totally, accurate.
Rodgers didn't help by throwing a no-chance incompletion instead of utilizing room to run. I don't know if he scores a TD if he takes off, but he definitely makes the 4th down more manageable and takes the decision out of LaFleur's hands. I don't think there's any way they kick on 4th & goal from like the 3.
@@pronkb000 Aaron Rodgers' fatal cowardice.
This is easily the funniest episode you ever made. You had me laughing out loud.
This unofficial Official Jaguar Gator 9 historian wonders if Walton didn’t want Pat Leahy to try a 43-yard field goal because he saw another team’s kicker miss a field goal from that distance earlier in the season…
As a Jets fan this is not the first video where Joe Walton made a dumb decision regarding a field goal
At 15:22, I found the problem: Rich Kotite! 😂😂
Yes, JG9 did make a video on Roger Vick and the OH NO! (Both of which are said within the first 2:30 of the video, though the OH NO is not about Roger Vick).
Cognac Time!
Someone like OJG9 has no idea how ridiculously well the Jets play VS my team compared to how they play VS every other team. Here's a few absurd examples.
In '78-79 the Jets were 4-0 VS the Fins and 12-16 VS everyone else, while the Fins were 21-7 VS everyone else.
In '80 the 4-12 Jets swept the 8-8 Fins. And gave the Saints their only win.
In '86 the Fins scored 45 in both games VS the Jets...and could only manage a split.
In '89 the Fins turned a 30-19 4th quarter lead VS a 4-12 Jets team into a 40-33 loss. This game simply evened things up.
In '92 yet another 4-12 Jets team whipped the Fins the first time and almost beat them again.
In '95 one of the Jets' 3 wins was against the Fins...after losing the first game 52-14.
The 1-15 Jets team of '96 didn't beat the Fins (shockingly) but did hold a 14-0 lead in both games.
From '99-01 the Jets were 6-0 Vs the Fins and 21-21 VS everyone else. The Fins were 31-11 VS everyone else.
I could actually keep going but I'm sure you see my point.
A few things to point out about your hypothetical Jeopardy! scenario.
First, unless you're still in the red by the end of Double Jeopardy!, you can still play Final Jeopardy! if you have at least a score of $1. Yeah, your chances of winning are still astronomical, basically being that both of your opponents have to wager everything and get it wrong while you have to wager everything and get it right to win, but you still have a chance nonetheless.
Also, in the main game, the absolute minimum you can wager on a Daily Double is $5, not $1.
So, in order to completely miss Final Jeopardy!, you'd have to have a score anywhere between -$2,005 and -$3,999 before you get the Daily Doubles, because a player can wager as much as the highest value on the board ($2,000 in this case) if they have less than that.
Speaking of which, eliminating, the, winnings, cap, was, the, worst, thing that show could have, ever, done, the fact that their, Super-Champions, were, rarely, likeable, didn't help, that's the main reason why, historically, it would always finish, behind, Wheel Of Fortune in the ratings, despite, being an, objectively, better, show.
@@matthewdaley746 Are you kidding? Super-champions are great for ratings just like they are in sports. And they're not likable? Ken Jennings is likable--likable enough to be an excellent replacement host. James Holzhauer is likable. Amy Schneider is likable. Brad Rutter, who was before the era of super-champions but who clobbered Jennings in the Ultimate Tournament of Champions finals, is likable.
And to follow up: do you see ABC giving Wheel of Fortune a bunch of prime-time tournament specials for super-champions?
@@pronkb000 Yeah, no, it just gives insufferable know-it-alls a pulpit, longer, than, they should have had it, oh, and, Ken Jennings has the, most-punchable, face, ever, and, James Holzhauer's an egotistical jerk, likeable, Super-Champions, are, more, The, Law Of Averages, than, anything else, btw, he's, only, hosting the show, because, Mayim Bialik left to support a bunch of millionaire writers, who, in a country that's, likely, going into recession, are, striking out of, pathetically-indefensible, greed, like, Chris rock says, "You got a lot of intelligence, but, can you kick my a**."
@@pronkb000 No, brevity increases integrity.
He said "the mind of Joe Walton"....Ive never been a Jets fan but even I know thats a huge oxymoron...LMAO
LMAO also.
I have never heard so many analogies of how dumb a game turned out. I almost quit on your channel, however I am a fan of NFL as a whole. I'll still enjoy all your channels and your knowledge of sports history!
2:25 Only the 2nd receiving TD of Scott Schwedes' NFL career. He was a 2nd round pick who had a grand total of 19 catches in 4 years.
Well stupidity and the Jets are common occurrences.
One banner I saw during their infamous 1-15 season in 1996 was Horrible Every Single Season ;)
And a blunder like this aside, Joe Walton's overall record as Jets head coach was 53-57-1; which is a good winning % by Jets coaching standards.
I’d like to see a sequel video for cowardly field goals. I’m sure that will be just as entertaining.
This was the last season that Walton coached the Jets who ushered in the Bruce Coslet era after his departure.
J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets
And then brought back Rich Kotite 5 years later after having 1 playoff season in Philly.
@@natelitchy5923 he did ok in Philly leaving with a winning record and their only playoff win since 1980. They didn't win another playoff game until 2000.
If I had been the Jets' GM, he would have been gone after that game.
I see why the Jets and their fans had enough of him by that point. With no 2-point conversion, that FG was pointless. After the Jets (justifiably) ran him after the fiasco that was their '89 season, Chuck Noll hired him as his offensive coordinator for some reason. Pittsburgh's offense was ranked in the 20s in both 1990 and '91. After Noll stepped aside following the '91 campaign, which was a disaster for the Steelers, Bill Cowher knew better than to retain Walton.
Chuck Noll only made, two, mistakes in his career, not, retiring, after, the 1981 season, and, not, drafting Dan Marino, unfortunately, Bill Cowher inherited John Madden's penchant, for, constantly playing down to the level of their competition, Mike Tomlin continued it, there's, truly, a reason why all, three, coaches, won, exactly, one, SB, period.
@@matthewdaley746And they needed a lot of help from the refs when they beat the Seahawks. The head ref admitted he blew several calls.
@@ryanjacobson2508 Packers had official protection.
@@matthewdaley746Chuck Noll won four super bowls
@@thatsmrtguy4935Overstayed his period, unquestionably.
Joe Walton picked his nose a lot😅
4:21 is the Mount Rushmore of horrible Jets head coaches
We almost heard JG9 say a swear!
Joe Walton broke him.
He was just ahead of his time
Don't ever get in the mind of Joe Walton. You'll be in a dark place full of skeletons and moth balls.
Didn't Cowher do this in the 2004 AFC Championship? I think he kicked a FG in the 4th quarter down 14 and explained he wanted to make it a two-score game.
Yeah, the Steelers were down 31-17 and settled for a field goal to make it 31-20
God, watching this makes me miss when the NFL still played football.
Actually on Jeopardy: no one can ever wager $1 on a Daily Double. The rules call for a minimum of a $5 wager.
17:15 the Surrender Index only applies to punts, not field goals
No wonder they was so bad...Richie Kotite was on the sidelines too!!
1989 was the year of dumb decisions by the New York Jets.
Just like my Vikings gonna Viking, the Jets gonna Jets.
I’ll never understand how Joe Walton made the playoffs in his tenure as Jets coach. Then he was an offensive coordinator in Noll’s final season in Pittsburgh. Then he was coaching Robert Morris football 😂 . What a bum
Said, before, bears repeating, Chuck Noll, was, "almost" perfect, but, he didn't retire, after, the 1981 season, and, he didn't draft Dan Marino, and, that's awful.
@@matthewdaley746There were rumors (who knows how accurate) that Marino was big into partying and couldn't be trusted. That may have been true up to a certain point, but as a pro he had zero issues with off the field behavior.
@ryanjacobson2508 Fiddlesticks, it's, poorly-disguised, backpedaling.
This unofficial Official JaguarGator9 historian would like to remind you that JG9 did a video on the career of Roger Vick back in April 2021, titled "OH NO! The Roger Vick Story (New York Jets)"
Put on your tweed jacket and pour yourself a Cognac!
6:23 You know you done messed up when Joe Freaking Namath is better at basic math than you.
He's guaranteed moronic coaching.
Joe Waltons offensive coordinator was Rich Kotite... what did you really expect?
Or option 3, punting it.
How often can you be third to last in some stat and only be better than the Steelers and Cowboys?
And the point in time sure matters. The Steelers ended up making the playoffs that year at 9-7 and even won a playoff game…
6:30 😎
Joe Must Go isn't anything new. Eagles fans would fly planes over Franklin Field with a Joe Must Go banner behind it for Joe Kuharich.
Richie Kotite?
Jets = (J)ust (E)nd (T)he (S)eason
To quote Jay-Z "moral victories are for minor league coaches"
The Eagles would have gotten a moral, victory, in, SB 52, if Tom Brady hadn't been too pigheaded to take the sack, and, I would have been physically ill, especially, because, he certainly would have acted like it, was, "all part of the plan" and, exactly as I had predicted, earlier, for, the, third, time, he, "forgot" to shake the winning QB's hand, after, the Game, "Competitive Fire" my a**.
I think you're a little too into football, dude.
@@pronkb000 Nothing I mentioned's inaccurate.
@@matthewdaley746 I just watched that play again and I'm not sure what Brady could have done differently. He was so swarmed that even trying to throw the ball away risks an interception.
@@pronkb000 Living to fight, another, down means he, probably, scores the clinching, TD, with, not, enough time left, for, the Eagles to counter, instead, he, effectively, ended, the Game, with, the, TO, as a result, he only had a chance to, tie, I can't prove this, but, I suspect he believed the, officials, and/or, dumb luck, would bail him out, I can't disprove it, either.
