I made a spreadsheet listing all of the Jets home games that I've been to including playoff games, and looked up all of the scores from those years. I've missed four games since '84, but included their results in my spreadsheet. According to my list, the Jets are 105-105 in Meadowlands games (as a home team - not including being "away" against the Giants although the two I went to they lost both, and I remember the sack exchange team throttling Simms for a win in the early 80's and another win in the early 90's so they may have split those too) heading into Sunday's final game. So, amongst other implications, this game also means that a victory against the Bengals - the first team they beat in NJ, makes moving to the Meadowlands in 1984 a winning proposition - by one game! Has anyone seen anything official about their record at the Meadowlands?
absolutely awesome. perfectly mediocre..... 20 years later and the entire move being a success depends on one game. lets go jets we want to be winners!!!! that really is amazing that they are a perfect even record like that. i think i remember you talking about this last year or during the offseason.
On the jets "win it and we're in it" special on SNY tonight they said we are 105-105-1. You missed the tie but you were still pretty damn close.
Damn. I mention that tie in my signature, but when I just ran my "since 1984" report I didn't think to include the "tie" column of the spread sheet. Ties aren't wins or losses anyway... Crazy that all of this Meadowlands stuff has been for nothing. Well, that is until tomorrow night. I bet they tie ; )
As amazing as that would be it would probably mean no playoffs unless we got a ton of help from other teams.
I read somewhere that they were 103-105-1 but I think that was as the home team or it was wrong. They won as visitors vs the Giants in 1981 and 1993, lost in 1987, 1999 and 2007.
theres a tie game against KC in there in 88 I believe. I was there. Critical Freeman McNeil fumble near the goal line when it was raining when we were all calling for the game winning field goal. Joe must go.
I remember that game. If I remember correctly, we were killing them statistically. Which is all I cared about when I was 11!
