We won! The 8th season game is in the books and what a game it was. Once again Mr. Justin Fields was given the ball. The Bengals looked like winners up to the last 8 minutes; 24 to 38 point winners. Then the Jets, the 7 straight losses in a row Jets, did the impossible. They not only came from behind;
they won! Two TD's with 2 points after in the first one. 39 to 38. To put the cherry atop the cupcake, the Jets defense took over with almost 2 minutes left in the game. They embarrassed the Bengal offense into a turn-over on downs. There was no joy in Bengal land.

If ever a team earned a week off, the Jets certainly did in winning over the 3 and 4 Bengal's. The next time we see the Green & White on a field is November 9th at 1 PM EST. We'll be playing at home. We fans have a reason to make it a warm homecoming. The visiting team? The Cleveland Browns, 2 and 6. 2 and 6? Hmmm . . .

The history of the New York Jets is linked to the late Mr. Leon Hess of Hess Oil. He was one of the original group buying the Titans in 1963 and re-naming the team the New York Jets. By the time 1984 rolled around the team was fully his. I worked for Mr. Hess when he first bought into the franchise. A fine businessman, he know that nothing succeeds like success. The first year that the Jets were the Jets, he'd give a number of us stacks of Jets tickets to hand out to friends and family. A real stack. Inches of tickets. Free tickets. We happily filled the stands for him. Next year the Jets had caught on. The stands filled without our help. No more free tickets. That didn't stop me from being a Jets fan for life, though, and it's been a long life.

Hi, Butterscotch!

Parking was a problem even way back then. I drove in from North Plainfield
where I was living to a Jets first season game. I arrived just on time. There
was no parking available for blocks and blocks. I eventually got tired of driving
around, gave my tickets to a policeman near the gates, and drove back to NJ.

Regards.

Go, Gang Green!

And it seemed like every year we got something special, like a Colonoscopy.
Later
True story princess Diana stopped her car in London years ago when she spotted Phil collins on the street. She asked him if he ever had one.......she said it was great you should get one

Probably 10k just for the “ right “ to buy more tickets
They should be held liable for falsehoods of an NFL team
Borderline Racketeering if you ask me.
That's why I let my tix go.
Just couldn't afford 20k to watch this team suck.
I should of done it years ago, as I learned just how much money I used to spend.
Preparing for the game, going to the game, not to mention all the money spent at the friggin stadium.
Amazing how much I saved.

Where did you sit ?
How many seasons ?
Sat in the Lodge at Shea with my uncle and Dad.
Section 325 in the Upper Tier at the Swamp.
I vaguely remember going to Titans games with My Dad, Uncle, and Cousin. I couldn't tell ya the section or row because it escapes me but I've been watching and going to games since the teams inception.
At the Meadowlands Section 325 was next to the visitor's Fan section. We used to have some fun with those Fans. I was never escorted out but I was close many times.
The guy who started the original Jets chant was seated in that section. I never knew if it was true but He always wore an old school Jersey with the #1 and DIEHARD on the name plate.
My last Season was 2008. Dad and my Uncle were gone and I could see the writing on the wall with PSL bullspit so I let them go. Couldn't afford it on top of everything else.
Blew the money on Directv Sunday Ticket.
This Season I let that go and Im finding I miss it less and less.
Sorry but I've invested too much time and money into this team to give up on them.
I watch them but I expect nothing from them.
Just don't embarrass yourselves on National TV and Im happy.
