The 2004 divisional round still makes me question everything

For me as a Jets fan, it’s the 2004 divisional round game at Pittsburgh against the 15-1 Steelers. That loss still keeps me up at night because we had that game won twice and somehow found a way to blow it both times. It was a close game the whole way through, and we had two legitimate chances to win at the end of regulation but completely screwed it up. Our first field goal attempt from 47 yards hit the crossbar, then Pittsburgh turns the ball over and gives us another shot. Instead of trying to get closer, our coaches decide to kick it from 43 yards out, and we missed again. We outplayed the 15-1 Steelers for sixty minutes and had nothing to show for it. That was our year, and we let it slip away on two missed kicks. #NFL #NFLPain #NewYorkJets

those were the days...15-1 winning a playoff game...now mediocre Mike Tomlin is only worried about .500 and his underachieving legacy
