Well my Jets came to play Football in our backyard and we taught them a Lesson! I mean WOW!! That Dorkfins have everything I wanted Zach Wilson to have in year 2 and they made their Rookie QB look good. Just imagine if Zach had that O Line and top 3 Vet WR! Im so proud of O Line and WR and RBs with Zach of course! If we only had whats needed for Zach to take the next step. While Im very happy to get a win, Im also disapointed in Zach progress because nothing fixed and same as last year. Zach is getting it but slower because we didnt get what needed for our QB. Thanks to Jets Players especially back ups Playing so hard. Zach keep it going man and show everyone you can zip the ball through an needle eye hole. Reminds me of Marino zip passes in tight coverage. Keep it going Zach! Now on to my Mets!!!

Well as I been saying on Mets board since dead line not getting an ACE lefty pitcher "Montgomery" from Yanks and 1 or 2 good bats not named Bell or Soto over priced average hitters guy. Benintendi and Martinez both better than those. DeGrom signing key. Barf. Now more than ever I need my Jets to have a good season

It really wasn't against all odds. It was against all opinions of people that didn't have all the facts.

We all know about Namath's prediction.
In preparation, Buddy Ryan told the team that if they hit everything that moves, they'll win.

Wearing on you
Well
I figured out I attended close to 500 home games
season tickets since 71
And never got to see the home champion ship game I wished for with me and dad
That kinda wore us out
Sadly we can no longer attend and have them up last year after covid

Never mind we saw a ton of shit football ( 70s decade was the worst)

But it cost us $$$$$$$$$
But we did have a lot of fun
Imagine if we had a few winners in there!!!!!

Do you remember the game where the hapless Jets were keeping the game close. And then at halftime, the Colts pre-empted the halftime show by taking over the field at Shea to do warm up exercises?

I was there
I think it was a marching band
And they just came out while they were still playing
Correct ?
The halftime shows at Shea consisted mostly of:
Marching bands
Flying lawnmowers ( deadly )
Frisbee catching dogs
Seats were the portable metal bleachers in the closed end of Shea
Set up by home plate when the Mets finished

Me too. I sat over by right field in the top level.

Was this the game?

I was at the flying lawnmower game also.

The flying lawnmower game at Shea was going to be my very first. I was just a kid, and shortly before the game, I had to go into the hospital for a tonsillectomy.

First ST year was '76 (after 10 yrs of wait list) in those metal temp seats to the 3B side of homeplate. Hated them. Couldn't see a thing past the nearest 40 yd line. They had room for one less butt than the numbers painted in the benches. Last one to arrive ususally sat on the steps in the aisle. A huge guy sat right in front of me so I was always leaning over my friend next to me. He had a humungo bag of peanuts that he brought every game and handed out to everyone. Still had some left by the end of the season. Bad seats, bad season.

Jets office was on Madison back then (you could get road game tix there too) so I went often to ask for seat changes and the guy told me that I was being a pain and here, move to the Mezz reserve (covered at about the closed end 20). Now THAT worked out nice.

Funny what comes ot mind when you think about those days. First was the "Ain'ts" game and everyone laughing when it started to snow

Other than that, there was the one playoff game that we got to see whch they lost but was a great game. Also (same year) the Barkum TD at the end of the Dolphin game.

Weirdest? That '83 special home game against the Colts(?) at the old Giants Stadium

Saddest? After all the '76 games watching Namath hobble around so badly, that awful last game in '83
