Stop Being Babies About Crowd Cheering To Alio The Fool, I've been a season ticket holder for longer than I've been alive and I turn 37 this year so that's a TON of game's I've gone to. 1. There needed to be something to cheer about on the field to make some noice. When you let teams pass and walk all over you, it really don't give you much to cheer about. 2. Defense suffered cause they SUCK...not because of crowd noice ! 3. There is something called Crowd Ettiquite. There are times to stand and cheer and times to sit. Third Down is mostly stand time when you are on defense plus the end of the game. There is no reason to stand up the opposition has 2nd and 3 ! 4. The crowd is not blue collar. Giants games are white collar people. Most of the Jets fans are blue collar so it's far from corporate. You want to see corporate, wait until the PSLs and ticket prices are unaffordable with the new stadium. Then, you have corporate seats, not true fans. 5. If you are such a fan, get your ass off the couch, scalp a ticket, and get inside the Stadium. 6. Fireman Ed not being there doesn't help but Jets have him on payroll and they are not looking to create a new "Cheerleader" to lead them in this chant which is why they came up with Chant Cam this past week and it really didn't work. 7. When it was appropriate to cheer, the place was loud. You don't get to hear that on TV. 8. We were 0-2 entering the game and had a big lead. What's there to cheer about? 9. The season is young...as the season goes on, if we remain competitive, it will get louder as the games get more important. 10. I still don't believe we cheered for Chad's injury and I think no one understands that we were cheering that he got up off his ass which you do ANY time someone gets injured that you cheer for them when they come off the field. Even opponents get cheered for after an injury when they are able to make it off the field. And, there were cheers for Kellen which is fine cause the backup QB always gets cheers when entering the game to see what they can do. SO, people need to get over this. The only thing that pisses me off is that fans leave early. I was there for the Monday Night Miracle and if that's not a lesson to people not to leave early, I don't know what is. This was such an irritating chain from basically people being babies that they don't have tickets to see it live. Oh well...enjoy the game on TV in 2 weeks ! I'll be there cheering for you since you are unfortunately unable to attend.
Gotta disagree with this point...people were cheering him getting hurt. I heard people sitting around me say as much. Was everyone cheering he got hurt? Of course not, but there were many who were.
I have read this several times in this thread and it is such a bullshit statement. 1) Not everyone is lucky enough to get to have season tickets for so long, the waiting list is 10,000 the last I checked, 2) Not everyone is comfortable buying scalped (often illegally) tickets, 3) Some people live far away, 4) Some people can not afford to buy tickets and go the game. They might not make as much money as you, or could have other financial responsibilities, like families. I can understand the argument of "I bought the tickets I can do what I want." But this argument of "I am more of fan than you because I can go, and you can't criticize me because you aren't really a fan because you're not there" is utter crap. Those of use who don't have season tickets and can't afford to go to every game, have every right to watch it on TV and make observations about what we see. Just like if you buy tickets you can sit on your ass. And the fact of the matter is you look at other fans like those of the Colts, and their stadium is deafening. Spin it anyway you like, but the crowd last week was a joke. That might change this week, but that doesn't change what we and the announcers saw and heard last week.
The Saints are 0-3, their fans are pretty loud. The Chargers are 1-2, their fans are pretty loud. The Lions are just breaking out of being utterly awful for years. The Raiders still haven't broken out. Their fans are loud. You can actually hear quite well on tv. When a crowd is even remotely loud, you can't clearly hear the opposing QB barking under center. I heard Trent Green all day. Plus, when the commentators of a game take the time to point it out, repeatedly, then there's something to the story. I don't know why you're discussing the blue collar/corporate thing with me. I never brought it up. The season ticket holders were, in order to defend their points. Personally, I think it's bullshit. It will get louder as the games get more important? Seriously? So early season divisional games, you know, the ones that help determine tiebreakers for playoff teams, aren't, well, important? You know, I was really trying to leave this thread behind, but every time someone tries to defend the crowd, it only gets back on my nerves again. You're right, I don't go to games. Simply put, as dabrowsk1 pointed out, I don't scalp tickets. That's a decision I make with my conscience, and it's got nothing to do with my level of fandom. I make it to a game or two a year though. And I'm loud as hell when I'm there. Of course, I have to deal with morons who tell me sit down and shut up, like I don't have a right to cheer, but whatever. This has to be the only franchise in the entire sport that feels entitled to be dismal every single game, even before it starts.
So you don't buy tickets, but somehow make to some games every year. That means you're invited, right? Bet you ain't telling whomever invites you that "Season Ticket Holders suck"
Guys random question... how is the satellite parking. Like all systems I doubt its smooth, but is it bearable?
Getting there wasn't a problem for me. Leaving, on the other hand, was a bitch. They don't even let you off or pick you up even remotely close to the stadium.
Parking passes can be scalped on gameday easy for 20 bucks! I would love to tell the secret, but I would not want to have a crackdown to end it. I have one parking pass, and my cousin got one on gameday at the stadium twice.
maybe our defense can make a big stop and the team can win a big game......the fans have had nothing really to cheer for.
I'm sorry bro, but if people are going to complain, except for a few special instances, they should get their ass up and go.... I'm in college, poor as hell (rent's due this week, $1,275, I've got $1,400 in my bank account right now).... only part-time work, and no season tickets, but I managed to buy tickets to all but one home game this year.... Last year, I was in the same situation, but living in Indiana, and I flew in for 2 games.... So unless you're further than 12 hours away, or you make less than $8 an hour at 20-25 hours a week, those aren't legit excuses.... I can totally understand not spending all your dough on a game when you can watch it on TV, but if you're not going to drop that money down to suppot your team, don't rip on those of us who do...
Normally I would just go in with my friend and his father who has a pass, but I found out at 11:30 that morning that I had to drive myself. Didn't leave me a lot of time to look around for someone scalping a pass
Now I know why the fans suck. They are mostly Met fans. Nice job last night boys. Way to rock the house. LETS GO PHILLIES!!!!!!!!!
That's easy when you have no responsibility other than school and a part-time job. I remember college, free enough to do what you want, when you want. But there are some who have familes, financial reponsibilities that do not allow them to use the extra cash they have on football. Some people work all week, have young children, and rather spend time with them rather than travel to a game. The list goes on and on. I myself made it to one game last year, but this year my mother got had a heart attack, so I am going to have to help out my parents financially and go over there on the weekends while she rehabs to give my dad a break. So unfortunately I have neither the time or money to go to even one game this year. People have other responsibilities and might not be as lucky as you to be able to go. But that doesn't make them less of fans, and doesn't mean they can't make obervations (observations made initially by the annoucers BTW) about the crowd. It is extremely naive and immature to think that everyone's life gives them the luxury of going to Jets games and shelling out money so they can be "real" jets fans.
Fans are just like players they get excited when they are watching something exciting. I wasn't at the game but honestly watching at home the game looked very much like two bad teams playing with all the intensity of a preseason game. The crowd feeds off of the intensity of the game. What makes crowds loud are big plays on O and a D that is aggresively attacking and making plays. The Jets on D play with no intensity and I'm sure the crowd in the stands feels it because I can feel it at home.
I agree. As a season ticketholder I've never considered non-ticketholders or people who can't make it to games "less of a Jets fan." Even as a ticketholder (had them since 1985), there were many years in which I could not (would not) go to games and just wound up giving them away to friends and family so they could use them. I had business obligations, raising a family, activities and sports my children were involved in... Boy Scout camping trips, soccer games, later, college, other family obligations, etc., etc. So, it's wrong to call someone out for not going to games. But it's also wrong for someone to sit at home and critisize the behavior of those who go. When I go, which I try to do very often, I'll sit when I want, stand when I want, yell when I want, etc., and I don't need somebody sitting on the couch with a bag of chips telling me what I should and shouldn't be doing.
I went ahead and highlighted all your bullshit statements for you Cheer etiquite? what the fuck is that?! You have an obligation as a fan to support this team. What kind of supporter are you to say that there was nothing to cheer about? WE WERE FUCKING WINNING!!! And the lead was slipping away because the team was unmotivated. You are going to sit there and tell me with a straight face that a loud rocking stadium doesnt motivate the Defense. OR CAUSE PENALTIES?! Come on man. no one is singling you out but to come out and say that there are moments to cheer and moments not to makes you sound like some sort of football snob. "i don't want to cheer now cause it would be inappropriate" Please. #8 is hilarious though. 0-2 WITH A BIG LEAD Yet theres nothing to cheer about. dude what the fuck do you cheer for, when we are 2-0 AND LOSING?!
Jets are playing in Buffalo this weekend... The papers are loaded with quotes about how LOUD it is there and how intense the FANS are.... That never happens when teams talk about playing the Jets. I've been to at least 6 Bills games in the past 10 years.... it's L O U D!!!!!
