It is a run of football futility rarely seen around here, a collective era of mediocrity from the Jets and Giants that reminds us just how good things used to be.
Newsday colleague Neil Best, who has been busy chronicling the resurgent Islanders during their playoff run, provided the reminder in a tweet Tuesday morning while prepping for Tuesday night’s Islanders-Lightning Game 5 of the Stanley Cup semifinals:
"Since Giants won SB46 after 2011 season, #NYGiants and #NYJets have combined to appear in one playoff game. That is nuts."
Yes, it is.
In fact, the last time things were so bad with both teams simultaneously, there was no such thing as a hashtag or Twitter or Facebook or TikTok.
