munchmemory Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Hi everybody. This is my first thread starter so sorry if this issue has already come up. Personally, I find the sounding the air raid siren during games a bit lame, especially when we're getting killed. Also, historically, hearing that meant to take cover or hide. Why promote that mentality? Wouldn't we want them to be aggressive, not passive? Since we are the "Jets", I thought it would be more appropriate to blast the roar of a jet taking off. It's only pre-season so we can waste a little time discussing (if you're into it) frivolous topics such as this. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetlife33 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I could see them start to incorporate some other things as the siren is starting to get worn out. Then again, maybe if we won some football games and played really well the siren would pump the fan base and team up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECURB Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 The siren is awesome in the right moment.. Just a lack of moments lately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeC36 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 The siren is awesome in the right moment.. Just a lack of moments lately Yup, I agree. When the defense is coming in and needs a big stop in the 4th quarter to close out the game, or they take over after an INT at their own 40, that's the right time for the siren. The fact they play it every the defense takes the field waters it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munchmemory Posted August 23, 2015 Author Share Posted August 23, 2015 I think the other team is supposed to take cover and hide not us lol I know, but for idiots like me, it's still a bit confusing. It also bothers me that we are down by two TDs and that siren is supposed to instill fear in the other team.

Larz Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 they should save it for when the offense completes a long pass, like as in "look out here comes the bomb" but who cares, the team is named after commercial passenger jets, so lets just be happy about the flight crew when they wear knee high 60's style white boots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I paid for a whole ticket, not 85% of one For me, this was back in the late 80s/early 90s when I split a season ticket. ($35/ticket (lol) in the mezzanine at about the 15.) I just loved Sunday morning prep before going out to the Meadowlands. We looked forward to it all week. We'd always wind up talking to the same people even the game ended. Didn't hurt that we had smuggled in booze. I look back on those days nostalgically.

Back in the 60s, going to Bat Day at the old stadium for me was the equivalent of a pilgrimage to Mecca. The few times I went to Shea, my head nearly popped off from the excitement.

Once he splinters a chair/coffee table, I'll know he's fully fledged. You're absolutely right about the immediacy of the football season. You only get so many shots.
