Jets on turf and domes. - Merged

I think Minny has FieldTurf which is the same surface we have but in domes the Jets are 1-2 w/ Chad.

'02 beat detroit 31-14
'03 Lost at Indy 38-31
'04 Lost at SL 32-29

The good news is we averaged 30 PPG though in Indy we had a KR TD and in SL we had a KR and defensive TD.

 

I like the no wind factor in the domes ,Give Chad a chance to get some timing back with his boy's.

 

I don't think I'll ever forget that game. We got our first look at Cotchery. Vilma also had a hell of a game, not only the big pick for a touchdown but does anyone remember the HUGE hit he had on kickoff? He laid out St Louis' returner harder than I think I've ever seen a Jet player hit someone.

 

Not harder than a few of Hasty's hits, or the hit that Lott put on during the Raider game.

 

Well I've never seen those, so they don't count:grin:

 

I remember watching that Lott hit. It sounded like an elephant gun had gone off. Ouch!

 

The Jets won at the Metrodome in 1982 and in 1994, so 12 years later we're right on schedule. Jets win. :up:

 

We have never lost at the metrodome, our only loss to Minny came at their old Stadium.

 

You know, I never thought of that, very strange 3 games in a row spaced out by 12 years. I think the Jets win big Sunday anyway.....

 

1975 -Joe Namath was our QB..that's a pretty damn long time ago

That year also happened to be the last time we lost to the Cardinals.....back then the NFL didn't schedule NFC games by division....

 

That's the Jets for you. Find a place we can't lose and we play there every 12 years.

 

LOL, true but then again if we played there more often we'd probably be under .500.....hmy:

 

Didn't the Colts still have the astro turf that year? BTW you forgot Atlanta last year.

 

I only posted the games Chad played but yes you are correct and i did forget about the Atl game but Chad didn't play.

Yes the Colts still had Astroturf that year.

 

Nice Stat

Stupid stat but interesting anyway. We need this kind of day out of Chad or were sunk

Jets quarterback Chad Pennington has played three career games in a dome. The Jets are 1-2 in those games, but Pennington has put up impressive indoor numbers, eight touchdown passes and one interception with a composite 124.3 passer rating. The Jets will play in the Metrodome against the Vikings on Sunday.

 

Historically he has rebounded after he sh!ts the bed. I hope he comes to play on Sunday.

TBTF

 

Domes are right up his alley for 2 reasons:

1) No weather... conditions are 70 and no wind always

2) No crown on the field. This means the sidelines are on the same level as the middle of the field.
