It's been awhile since I've been to a game and I want to experience the a frenzied crowd and I want Ed to be doing the chant. Time has healed the wounds for me. I understand why it hasn't for some, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I miss the shirtless fat guys with the bull horns in each end zone that led the chant in the 80's like many here miss Ed. It will morph in to something great again.... naturally and organically.

Maxman Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Okay so the chant hasn't died. JetMan and Scott are doing a really good job with it. Fireman Ed still goes to every single game. He cheers his ass off, I can see him from where I sit. He signs autographs for people, he takes pictures and he is great with everyone that approaches him. His patience amazes me, just a really humble dude. Oh and back to the chant, it is definitely not dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not dead, but no one feels obligated to do it any more now that Ed isn't up on the big screen with his "you're disappointing me" face. I am proud that my kneel-down two seasons ago has led directly to this. Like the Wave, the Maccarena, and the Dab, the Chant is way past prime and dying a nice slow death. It makes me happy to see how pathetic and weak it has become. It would have been less satisfying had it just stopped. SAR I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't make the first preseason game and I was in China for the Foxboro debacle. The Chant is over. Combination of fewer old time Giants Stadium fans who quit on us in 2011, the popularity of fantasy football, endless Snapchat streaks, and the Jets obnoxious PA guy have taken it out. It was overdue. It never actually worked. Never led to anything on the field. Just a bunch of drunks taking a simpleton's spelling bee.

Started to think I was the only one who didn't think so lol The chant was alive and kicking last season thanks to Jetman and company. Much more alive than the 2 years prior to them.

I actually know JetMan, we lived in the same town in New Hampshire of all things, he'd see me in my Jets hat at the kids soccer and football games and we'd talk about our crazy 10 hour round trip commutes to see Herman Edwards blow game after game.

They're doing a really nice job. I went to one game last year. Brought my son to his first Jets home game. I went in thinking it was going to be weak, but was pleasantly surprised when I heard it for the first time. I watched my son's excitement as he participated in it for the first time and it was awesome. not quite the like it was when I had season tix in 311 for 6 straight years in the old stadium, but certainly not anywhere near dead.
