Smashmouth Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I cant say I have a favorite memory right now but I have the ability to predict the future. When I have dementia at the ripe old age of 105 I will forget Im or ever was a Jets fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waller and Toon My little kid brain interpreted that win as my win against this intruder in my house. Most of my family are Giants fans, and I followed them to the Yankees so fair chance I wouldve landed there. The fact that the Giants won the SB that very year should've been a sign, but I was hooked Funny thing my Dad was a Mets fan and I escaped that potential duel disaster because I was amazed at the Yankee's past players and the incredible stats they put up.

I had extra juice cause my parents had gotten divorced the year before and my moms new douche boyfriend was a Dolphins fan. We watched the game together The up's and downs in that game were Epic when Miami took the lead late you had to be miserable. Then good ole Kenny O hit Wesley in the front of the endzone with a rocket to send the game into OT with like 5 seconds left. That was one of the hardest throws Ive ever seen he just rifled that ball in to Walker. The hardest thing to deal with that year was I felt we were the best team in football until all the injuries hit and there was a rash of injuries that put us on that 5 game losing streak. Then the Idiot Gastineau penalty in the playoffs ugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great overtime win, with Wesley Walker catching the bomb and into the end zone. Definitely one of the best Jet games ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Crimson King Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Mrs. Crimson was reading this over my shoulder and wanted to add her $0.02. Since she was my season ticket partner for over 3 decades, I figure she earned her say Back in the Shea days we were surrounding by a lot of great folks in the Mezz. Same people came year after year as there was still a waiting list and no one ever moved seats. One of our favorites was a pair of brothers who brought their wives to every game. The wives sat together while the brothers sat on their respective flanks having apoplexy yelling at often mediocre teams. The ladies had little to no interest in football but dutifully came weekly and provided nice words and (more importantly) sandwiches to "their boys" in front of them. The first game that I brought the future Mrs, C they drilled her for while before declaring their approval. It actually pleased me and produced a measure of relief. The ladies spent the game having all sorts of conversation, knitting (really) and discussing family and children while seemingly totally oblivious regarding the action on the field or how close their respective husbands were to bursting veins in their heads over the play by our beloved Green and White. I don't remember the year or details but I do remember the event. It was late in a close game and Todd went back to pass. The brothers were screaming, the crowd was electric. Walker got open deep, the fans roared as one and Todd … overthrew him. The loudness of the stadium dissolved into some groans and then the dead silence that follows such an event, At that brief moment of silence, all you heard was one of our ladies, both actually knitting at the time, saying " … and you add three pats of butter then bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, then …" Doesn't sound like much in print but it was like experiencing a living Norman Rockwell painting at the time.

Nixhead Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Richard Todd to Jerome Barkum TD against Miami with 7 seconds left in n game and Jets were down 6. Miami had a chance to close it out with a field goal on 4th and 1 with about 1:30 seconds left but Shula decided to go for it and Klecko shot the gap and got the runner behind the line so Jets ball down 6. Bruce Harper made some big plays then Todd to Barkum game winner. I was right in that end zone. Loudest I ever heard Shea Stadium. Them bleachers were shaking big time.

Oct. 17, 1988 — Bills 37, Jets 14 The “Pumpkin Game” featured 41 incidents of improper behavior in the stands, 15 arrests and 56 ejections. Fans burned complimentary paper hats in the stands and batted around an inflated pumpkin. This game led to the stadium halting beer sales after halftime during night games. It was 21-0 halfway through the first quarter and it was the angriest crowd I have ever seen. I remember a brawl in the stands in the lower lever behind the Bills bench (where Fireman Ed in later years would lead the chant). It was the only time I ever saw the players on the field stop and watch what was happening in the crowd. It was insane. The "paper hats" were Jets painters caps. They were the cheesiest things ever. Green but with gigantic red "Chunky Soup" logos on the side. They made better kindling than headwear. I counted several fires in the upper deck. "We want the pumpkin! We want the Pumpkin!" PS: This recap is wrong. The game led to the outright banning of all alcohol sales during any night game at any time (Jets or Giants) period.

The gastineaus penalty was a killer but the D still could have stopped Cleveland. We had a million opportunities in OT but not with Kenny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenwichjetfan Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Going up to Foxboro after the 45-3 game and destroying the 14-2 #1 seed in front of their scumbag fans. Week 1 this year is definitely my favorite non-playoff-weighted memory. Sam comes in as our new hope...and delivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munchmemory Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Blair Thomas fumbling against the Bears and then his career going into the toilet. Oh, wait. This is a positive memory. There are a few like Joe gesturing "#1" after Supe III. Or all the bombs Ken O'Brien threw to Walker and Toon. Guy was a piece of wood mobility wise. But wow could he throw the deep ball on a dime. With today's rules protecting the QB, O'Brien would have been incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He caught a TD, ran one in, reconnected a fumble and I think had an int on a hail Mary. That Jax TD before the half gave the stadium an eery "same old Jets" feel but they got a stop and scored a TD to start the 3rd and regained control. I remember Matt Millen kept referring to the Jags as "the thing that wouldn't die". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was such a hard fought game and we prevailed. I loved when Shonn Greene ran over Eric Weddle for a long TD run. But beating Jax and facing Denver in the AFC title game was probably the best because I had the most hope we'd win a Superbowl that year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
