night games


Recommended Posts

TNF can be kinda fun if you can afford to take Friday off and roll it into a 3 day weekend. 

MNF and SNF are... not as great. Rough way to start the week. Though, to be fair, the stiff drinks at the home bar have their own way of derailing my week after the misery of an average Jets game

Especially in the humid September weather! My hip replacements will swell up and I will have trouble walking. I hope MetLife has used all of this primetime money to invest in motorized scooters. I only have so many years left

I wish I lived in an area to have season tickets, but I would love night games!

Gives you more time to tailgate, more time to focus on the other games throughout the day, and much cooler and pleasant weather to attend. Also makes the atmosphere for the game much better both in person and even on TV.

Being a fan of this team is more than sucking it up  as it stands.  Listen if someone wants to make light of it I can’t argue, it’s not cancer after all.  But as a season ticket holder who spends a lot of money on these games this is extremely unfriendly to the customer.   Nothing else to say.  A Thurs Mon or Sun night game is simply not as marketable as a Sunday afternoon game.   Imagine buying a new car and yours comes in pea green with yellow seats and you are expected to pay the same as the guy who got black on black.

There s zero chance the NFL didn’t go out of their way to make the Jets schedule a story line.  I guarantee if you go back 30 years you will not find a schedule as blatantly unfair to a team and their fans.  Three games in 10 games to start,   Europe trip two weeks later with no bye to follow, and a second Thursday night game to top it off.   One Sunday afternoon home game though week 11 has to be some kind of record.   Really mind boggling.  

Every schedule has its advantages and disadvantages.

I am absolutely thrilled that 4 of the first 5 QBs the Jets will face are Levis, Maye, Nix (or Zach), McCarthy (or Darnold).  Saleh better be salehvating over this opportunity.  The Jets D should be able to rattle Purdy as well.

If you look at the schedule with an unbiased eye, you will see good as well as bad.

What's wrong with the night games though?

Nothing.  If you are retired or independently wealthy and can leave Long Island at 4 pm and get home at 2 am with no concerns about earning a living they are great.    Come to think of it if that’s the case than almost everything is pretty great.  😂

Lol - Long Island travel would suck. I'm with ya on that. 

But 2AM? Meh, it's one night. You'll be fine.

I’ve only gone to a handful of night games, but in general, I enjoy them

Last year, I went to the jets/browns game, and despite how miserable the football was, the atmosphere was incredible. 
 

night games always feel more important and always have that extra energy I crave

There's no crying in baseball. But there is a ton of crying in this thread!  

I prefer 1 pm Sundays but damn I'm excited about this schedule.   Looking forward to the Houston game w/Stroud again.

 Maybe, but I think it's more about money then storyline.

30 years ago you didn’t have 17 games on your schedule, just erase the London road game and it evens out. 
These aren’t records, good teams get these kinds of schedules

Oh please. You do realize that the Jets turned down the bye after the London game? If not they did. And we are home for 4 of the 6 night games. It is not unfair. And quite honestly it's not unfair to fans, just to STHs that think they have a right to all 1pm games.

Not a fan of night games but will admit once you are there the atmosphere is pretty electric

last years opener was the most energetic and absolutely nuts I have seen a jets game since the finale against gb in 02 when we were rooting for the pats in ot

then of course came 4 plays but prior to that it was special

thats why i watch the games at home. i see the game better and when its over my bed is 10 feet away. 

Me: wow what a great pass by Zach. that WR sucks for not catching it.

Guy watching it on TV: it was a horrible pass, he threw it at his feet.

Me: looked like a perfect spiral from up here

TV: and it wasnt even Zach, they took him out of the game a play before.

Me: how did i miss that? must have been when i was passing that beer down the aisle.

i know some of you guys really love going but for me im fine staying home.
