jgb Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Thanks for the heads up. I remember watching this game in college and thinking the whole time we had a chance. Maybe the last time I had an optimistic prediction about the jets come true. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stadium emptied, we started moving out at 30-7 but sat own on the first deck when Coles caught the pass to make it 30-13. Never saw a stadium allow fans to re enter a stadium, some of the most fun I ever had at a regular season game. Seems like a lifetime ago when you rarely if ever lost all hope of winning a game 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post AFJF Posted July 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 9, 2022 That will always be a "remember where you were" game. I was stationed in Turkey which made it "Tuesday Morning football". Had to leave for work just after the Jets scored but it was still a blowout. Walked in to work to see Chrebet scoring a TD and realizing they were back in it. Was glued to the TV until the final whistle. Crazy. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Werblin Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Crazy game. I was so jacked I couldn’t go to sleep for a couple of hours after it was over. And what a great season. The flashlight game, Abraham and Ellis rookie seasons, losing to the eventual SB champ Ravens in a final week win and your in game because of a punt return TD and pick 6 outplaying the Ravens everywhere but on the scoreboard. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was on a first date with this very attractive young lady in college at a sports bar. She asked me to go back to her place in the 3rd quarter when it was looking bleak. I declined and she left in a huff. Never talked to her again. It was worth it. But apparently I’m not a Real Jets Fan™ because I don’t believe in our current starting QB’s future. ? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dcat Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Useless usenet memory: @More Cowbell,there was this bet involving this game that you were involved in, I recall, and a long running argument with some dude over it named CMan, I think.

Supposedly because I left the game before the end (Jets were being trashed for 3 qrts so I figured I woukd beat the traffic but about 20,000 fans all had the same idea) he said my actions triggered some Italian curse that he would invoke each game.

Popular Post Jet_Engine1 Posted July 10, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 10, 2022 Watched the game amongst about 20 Dolphin fans in a guys back yard on a projector TV. Took a beating for a solid 2.5 hours or so....and all of a sudden all of those ****s got real quiet. I was in ALL of their faces by the end. Couldn't sleep, drank till sunrise amped up like crazy. I miss being 29.... ? 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet Nut Posted July 10, 2022 Author Share Posted July 10, 2022 Best part were the videos of Jason Taylor giving the fans shlt because his fins were finally going to beat the Jets. I think his fish teams had lost something like 10 straight times to the Jets. By the end of the game when the Jets turned it around to catch the fins and ultimately won the game the videos shows Taylor crying while leaving the Meadowlands a loser once again.

My son and I bailed out at the half. 15 minute walk to car + 42 mile drive home and we get home and game still in progress. We watch the rest on TV.

JetsFanatic Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 I saw the whole game from my seats. From the beginning, the night had a eerie feeling. It started out with two guys getting out of a van in front of the Neptune Diner asking if my name was Tony, I said yes they said get in. I was supposed to meet my friend there he was running late and sent two co workers to pick me up. It felt like one of those Middle Eastern kidnappings. ? There we’re other things that happened but would need too much of an explanation. It was just a night I will never forget. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never understood the rationale for leaving early. After investing all that time already, why try to "beat the traffic " to get home 1-2 hours early and risk missing out on a memory of a lifetime. I had tickets for 41 years and I never missed a kickoff and never left early. If you plan on spending the day/night at the game, spend the day/night there. That game was a top 5 Jets game to attend. I will never forget that game. Just incredible. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FootballLove Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 So my best friend was a Fin fan and sent me a "hahahahahaha" type email around the middle of the 3rd qtr, then he went to bed a happy Fin fan. He shoulda waited just a bit longer before hitting the send button! I had just installed a small hot tub on my back deck the day before and hung a small TV out the kitchen window to watch the game while getting my soak on. Needless to say my neighbors were NOT impressed with all the screaming and yelling coming from my hot tub at 1am in the morning! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Additionally, I think Parcells-GM would have stayed on and been a mentor to Groh and helped oversee practice and game-planning. I think that combo would have been better than Herm and Bradway thats for sure, and that roster was damn good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raffyD Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Took my (now) wife to this game, her first ever Jets game. Got there at the start of the 2nd quarter because of work and traffic and people were leaving the stadium. Great night, went to Noodle town on Bowery after the game and got home around 3 am! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangerous Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 it never gets old. the best thing was watching jason taylor all similes and happy when the cameras were on him and the doltfins were winning and then showing him at the end. another interesting point is groh had the courage to pull vinny out for a series when things weren't going so. good to see a coach not afraid to pull a starter when he's not playing well. he got vinny's head back into the game.

FootballLove Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 I re-watch this every couple of years. Question: Are there any posters on here who was at the game? Did you leave early, and if so, are you still kicking yourself? So here's the YouTube version I like to watch...come in at the 3rd qtr. Really fun! What a throw back to some of our beloved players we haven't talked about in years. The CRAZIEST Monday Night Comeback! (Dolphins vs. Jets 2000, Week ? - YouTube Edit: How do I embed YouTube vids?
