@@vincentr.6109 After actually winning the wild card game, something that still astounds and amazes me to this day. It was Chuck Noll's only playoff win in the final seven years of his career BTW.
I didn't know Pat Leahy was a student at Saint Louis. I can't believe this video is how I found out that he never played college football. As for Coslet's decision, I wonder if he had Leahy work on this play in practice. How did Coslet forget that Eric Metcalf never returned punts in the Bud Carson era?
Don’t forget about the very next week against the Bills on MNF. The Jets were trailing 23-7 with a 3nd and 20 at the Buffalo 33. There were about 13 minutes left in the game. “Brilliantly”, Coslet decided to run two conservative running plays giving the Bills the ball on downs.
The 1990 browns had a turnover differential of -24. In week 16, the browns turned the ball over NINE times at 3 rivers stadium. The steelers were up 35-0 at the half
@@celticprideisstillalive8766 The Browns bludgeoned the Steelers at Three Rivers Stadium the season before that one. The NFL works in funny ways sometimes.
Cleveland would have gotten the ball at the 33. The NFL didn't adopt the rule of the ball going to the spot of the hold instead of line of scrimmage until 1994
Man, my parents used to love and hate Metcalf. Love because he was amazing at returns, hate because he would sometimes celebrate with the ball too early and they were terrified he'd fumble.
My dad was the same way though in his case he would always complain about how Metcalf always ran backwards after catching punts. It was a style that aided his returns for TDs, but meant frequently if he didn't take it to the house, he ended up losing yards over if he'd just taken a fair catch. Drove my dad crazy. As a youngster though, I LOVED metcalf. Which makes sense since when I played video games back then I basically called a deep pass play on every down, very all or nothing in a similar way.
That's odd. I always leave a link to the vids I mention in the upper right corner in the description too, so if you want to watch it and it doesn't pop up, you can!
I had to make a quick side visit to Wikipedia to be sure that Senator Patrick Leahy wasn't a former football player. (He wouldn't be the first.) There are about a dozen Pat/Patrick Leahy's!
1. This is something Mike McCarthy did last year; victory in spite of a Dumb Decision. 2. In the Jets coaching pantheon, Bruce Coslet ranks down there; but not as bad as Adam Gase, Rich Kotite or Lou Holtz.
Coslet was bad.. though on this one.. if Leahy had done a slightly better job.. we wouldn't be talking about this.... Hey, the broncos had Elway punt a few times.. which is in the same vein...
Agreed, you could argue he overthought it a bit, but calling it a dumb decision feels like a bit of a stretch. The result wasn't even that bad, they got it almost at the 20 anyway. Given a better punt could have pinned them, I don't think the risk to reward was that unreasonable.
@@DolFan316 Tfw said Jet team still has more playoff wins despite that and their drought. Those games might as well be the Dolphins super bowl this century 😂
I made a new YT account for purpose of my podcast, I definately need to do a podcast with Jags. He knows his sh....t,,,Do recall these Jets even though I am a Giants fan. Pat Leahy I think is the Jets leading scorer of all time. I think. Oh my
Paul McGuire’s laugh at 2:46 says it all!
Of the 19 St. Louis Billikens who played in the NFL, Leahy was the only one who played after 1951.
The 1989 steelers lost 51-0 in week 1 and loss 41-10 in week
2 and still made the playoffs
Not only did they make the playoffs; they lost by 1 point in Denver.

8:55 The saying "teaching an old dog new tricks" goes well with pooch punts
How does this not have more likes than it does? 😂

Didn’t Metcalf return the kick off earlier? I was at this game. It was my first live game. I have the ticket stub still.
@@yankees29 He took a kickoff to the house. He's one of the best returners of all time.
@@marcus813 yep he was for sure
Paul McGuire’s horn sound effect…perfection.
If you are going to punt the ball... have the guy who actually gets paid to punt the ball be the one who actually punts the ball...

I know it was an honest mistake but reading 3nd and 20 made me think I was having a stroke...
@@SyndicateSupermanhaha!! Third down and 20 yards to go for a first down
At least it wasn't Joe Theismann punt-bad
How did this Buttfumble manage to last four years as the coach of this team?
Paul Maguire is my all time favorite color commentator
Classic dumb decisions are your best content.

What a difference a year makes
@@celticprideisstillalive8766 The Browns bludgeoned the Steelers at Three Rivers Stadium the season before that one. The NFL works in funny ways sometimes.
Considering the Jets won this game, this decision/choice made absolutely no difference.
Cleveland would have gotten the ball at the 33. The NFL didn't adopt the rule of the ball going to the spot of the hold instead of line of scrimmage until 1994
Man, my parents used to love and hate Metcalf. Love because he was amazing at returns, hate because he would sometimes celebrate with the ball too early and they were terrified he'd fumble.
The one thing I remember about Metcalf is, "Hey diddle diddle, Metcalf up the middle."
My dad was the same way though in his case he would always complain about how Metcalf always ran backwards after catching punts. It was a style that aided his returns for TDs, but meant frequently if he didn't take it to the house, he ended up losing yards over if he'd just taken a fair catch. Drove my dad crazy.

And you can learn more about that! By clicking the card in the right hand corner!!!!!!!

This was my first live NFL game. I grew up a Jets fan.
Pretty sure Metcalf returned a kick off.
I think Coslett was hoping the Browns would drop the ball. And considering how bad the Browns were that year they might have.
Bruce Coslet gets a ton of hate, but he did make the playoffs with a crappy team…
Bruce Coslet was always too clever by half.
Jg9 loves classic dumb decisions-his specialty is explaining how some teams made crappy decisions like the jets did with coslet! 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
He’s warming up for the upcoming season because I gather he’s going to be doing a lot of these.

The explanation afterwards is what propelled this into “I have to talk about how awful this was” territory
Desean Jackson doth protests
He was a time traveler and forgot what year he was in
Of course it's the jets
If they punt the ball and it goes out of the end zone it comes back to the 20. That would be only 2 yards better.
Ahhh yes...my beloved Jets.
Too late to change teams now right? 🤷♂️. 🤦♂️
Browns nearing the end of the Bud Carson regime as he would be fired before the season's end
This is why I'm not a fan of the logo returning to this one for the Jets. It's filled with many bumbling plays like this and ofc 1996.
The other one is filled with just as many
As a DolFan, I love it 😁
@@DolFan316 0 playoff wins in more than 20 years 😂
@@Venom3254 Outscored the Jets 64-13 last season though. In fact Tua is 5-0 VS the Jets. They literally can't beat the Dolphins when he plays.

In fact, Pat Leahy is the Jets scoring leader by a very large margin, nobody's replacing him as #1 for many years.
