wjag Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 One of the greatest ref calls ever. Still remember the call to this day. 1 1
WhoTom Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) That's one of my two favorite referee calls. The other was when a center forgot the snap count and the whole team, except him, started to go. The ref said, "False start, offense ... everyone but the center."

RoyBatty is alive Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 I saw that game, barely recall it. Good to see the old game anytime. For those like me that didn't want to spend 20 minutes watching that, go to 8:20. 1 2
machine gun kelly Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 Well, if you don’t want to see all 24 minutes, here is the abridged version. Thanks for sharing as is a classic. I was a Senior in HS. Thanks buff. 5 minutes ago, WhoTom said: That's one of my two favorite referee calls.

Tom, I think I remember that but share the vid clip fro YouTube. That will get a chuckle. What the heck, it’s the holidays. 1 2
Freddie's Dead Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) Raise your hand if you remember Ricky Moore as a Bills RB. Ben Dreith was a one-of-a-kind ref. Red Cashin was the only one close with that signature "first dahhhhhnnnnnnn" call. The NFL put a stop to that, so now all refs are vanilla. Edited December 30, 2020 by Freddie's Dead

Thanks again. These kind of bloopers per se are so fun especially when some of us have a few off for the holidays. 1
Nextmanup Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 I remember watching that game! I was 15 years old. I turn 50 in a couple of weeks. 1 1
njbuff Posted December 30, 2020 Author Posted December 30, 2020 Also the season where the Jets started out 10-1, then got blown out by the Dolphins, and then......... Paul Maguire makes his epic prediction that the Jets wouldn't win another regular season game the rest of the season, and he was correct.
Beast Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 Josh Allen would have started bench pressing Marty Lyons and then picked him up and threw him out of Giants Stadium....from the field over the upper deck. 44 minutes ago, Nextmanup said: I remember watching that game!

Albany,n.y. Posted December 31, 2020 Posted December 31, 2020 I was at that game. Back in those days, before the internet, the Jets would have a day before the season started when they would put scattered seat tickets on sale at their offices in Manhattan. None of the available seats were next to each other, but I could get seats back to back like same section, row 12 seat 14, & row 13 seat 14. If we got lucky we could find 2 empty seats next to each other in the area & move there. I took time off from work (I was living & working in Long Island at the time) to go to the Jets offices & was able to get seats in back to back rows. The thing I most remember about buying seats was the ridiculous price I had to pay to park in a parking garage near the Jets offices. A little over a year later I moved to Albany after the 1987 season ( I attended the 1987 season finale in Philadelphia where I was able to get Eagles tickets at the mall in LI) and then for a while I didn't get Jets game seats. In 1990 the Jets moved their offices to Long Island and sold the scattered seats at Hofstra University. I didn't go to any Jets home games in 1990 or 1991. In 1992 I had my father, who lived about 10-15 minutes away from Hofstra, get me Jets tickets to Bills games. He'd bring a portable chair & sit while he waited on line for the tickets. We did this for a few years until I either took a bus trip to Jets games or got tickets on the internet & drove down from Albany. 1
Whites Bay Posted December 31, 2020 Posted December 31, 2020 Thanks for the video. I jumped to the "givin' him the business" line, but then settled in to watch the whole thing. Two observations: 1) Wow. Fans in stands. Brings back memories. 2) Not meaning to sound snarky, but it's weird to ever think of the Jets as being a good team.
longtimebillsfan Posted December 31, 2020 Posted December 31, 2020 I remember that game so well. My reaction after the the ref made the call, I looked at my wife and asked" did he just say giving him the business???" I couldn't believe it. Weird the things that stick in our minds. 1

I was at every Bills-Jets games at the Meadowlands from 1988-93, then stopped going. Stopped going in 1994 because I always got harassed there for rooting for my Bills, plus the traffic getting out really pissed me off. 🤮

Loved that guy. 1
