Jets Miami at shea 1981

[butterscotch]

It is on you tube. I had forgotten this one but I watched it commercials & all..

You must watch it...why?

1) great game
2 many players you could root for.
3 well coached (walt) not joe Walton.
4 shea was rocking
5 you felt the jets belonged
I was more excited watching this then any game since 2000.
Yes I was on the edge of my seat like it was live.
Some really great players

A must watch for younger fans

Also announcers & refs were good.

One of my favorite games. After 11 straight seasons without post season or a winning record, they start 0-3 before going 6-1-1. Younger Jets fans can't imagine going that long without a post season game ... uh wait ... never mind

When they were driving for that Barkum TD, my friend next to me said, "now we'll see if we have a team or not". TD gave them the lead for the first time late in the game. Makes me sad because there were 3 of us under my tix for many years. The other two guys were there that day, but both passed in the last two years

Playoff game that year was great too even though they lost

I miss Shea

Yea I spent 10 years traveling to Shea from jersey with my Dad season tickets

We were happy when they moved

3back to back to back
3-11 seasons but we still made the trek to the very last game

The winning vibe in the mid 80s was fun also

For me living in Hartsdale & Harrison ny. Shea was best. NJ was tough for us but we did.

My dad belonged to a golf club so for some time we had a full charter bus loaded with booze take us down to Yankee & them giant stadium . Great in bad weather. jets games I had a wagon & grill & we tailgated
Both were fun. Football in the parking lot

I mean what I said I enjoyed watching this game

 

[cheaterhater]

I stayed home and watched games on tv for free.

we lost the free games too

nice and warm in my house and it never rained or snowed in my living room

too young for beer then

I should have said with dad it was the Giants games.

One day I stayed at shea until Johnny Lynn int a pass with a few minutes left ...then ran to my car to get out early & drive to NJ to see the second half of the cards & Giants. Fun day lol two games two stadiums

Both ways are great but imo living close to a stadium is huge. When my son & I would go after 2009 the night games were tough. Getting home at 230 & going to work was no picnic
