Bills at Jets 10/17/88

[Greg S]

Since its Halloween this game was dubbed the famous pumpkin game. 41 incidents of improper behavior, 15 arrests, 56 ejections, fights all over the place in the stands. Jets fans lit paper hats of fire that they were giving out as well. This was the game which led  them to not serving alcohol after halftime. Game starts with about 6 minutes left in the 1st  quarter Bills up 10-0. Bills won 37-14.

So... a normal Sunday afternoon for Jets fans.

It was a Monday night, I was there. Paper hats lit on fire  raining down from the stands. It was ugly.

Gastineu was dating Bridget neilson and there was a naked blow up doll getting bounced around the stands. This was my first trip to the meadowlands from upstate. Man, there were some drunk jets fans there.

Reminds me of the bills jets Monday night in orchard Park in 1983. Pretty sure that ended beer sales after halftime at the Ralph. A section by section fight broke out before halftime. It took until mid way thru the 3rd qt to reach my section, then all hell broke loose. Fun times, my date was impressed

'Captain Jets' was still flying a Piper Cub.

 Bruce Smith made the Jets O-Line look absolutely foolish the whole game.

To this day that was probably the rowdiest game I was ever at.

And then we needed OT in one of the ugliest games ever played two months later at Rich to clinch the division.

1988 omg!! That was a long time ago. Last century. 

this game was as long ago to us today as the 1955 season was to those players and fans in ‘88.  Crazy to ponder.
