    so we all know about the game and some of the views people have.but what about the other aspect of the game experience ,the tailgating.

    we had philly cheese steak,tacos,grilled chicken sausage ,kielbasa ,pork shoulder and lots and lots of alcohol.

    I had a bunch of TGG.comers stop by the tailgate.royaltee,typeOnegative ,jetophile ,mistermoss ,mantana soss,dressen,and vision.

    thanks for chilling and enjoying the great weather.

    Mine sucked, my dad had to coach my brother's soccer team and we didnt get to the game until 3. The way home was the worst, Yonkers is 25-30 minutes from the Meadowlands, 4 hours and 15 minutes of traffic sucks. Didnt even eat dinner, I was so tired I just went to bed. The food was ok though, we just couldnt cook cuz we were late:)

    Something happened at the GW bridge is all Im guessing. Its never been that bad before, if we knew we would have taken the Lincoln Tunnel. We even stayed about 30 an hour after the game, but yeah it made us cranky while driving back.

    The Cross Bronx was bad because of the Yankee game starting at 8. Traffic was heavier than usual until you got to the Deegan. It flew after that.

    rough opener for me.......got stuck in traffic on the way in, late arrival, no time to cook....limited tail gate.....and the ride home was the nightmare it always is...but did seem a little worse.........my first season tixx in a while so my crew was definately not prepared.......looking for improvement for the Indy game.

    Excellent day. Great seeing the old friends again and starting another year of Jets football. Food was incredible. We did clams, shrimp, london broil, turkey london broil, a bunch of flank steaks, pork butt, chicken wings, clam chowder and a bunch of other snacks and breads. Good eats !!!!!

    Good times!! Thank god for another year of tailgating and football. Dressen was there? I want Champ to stop by so i can spike his drink with welbutrin .


    That traffic on the GW was horrible. I think waiting for an hour was the worst thing to do,because usually it's maybe an hour,hour and a half tops. Nothing happened on the bridge to make it that way,we kept flipping between the Yankee game and news. There are just that many people in the North East now and the gridlock gets worse every year. Add 2 events to the area,and youre screwed.

    I live in Bergen County. Took an hour to get home. The traffic was worse than usual. Traffic was bad coming in too -- no time to tailagate. Also, for those of you not in the NY/NJ area -- it was pretty warm yesterday for Sept in NY.
