Chandler#81 Posted April 6 Posted April 6 (edited) Our 1st prime time game for Kelly, Marv, Reed, Bennett, Bruuuce and the 3rd string rookie RB Thurman Thomas. Prime time would become as regular as making the playoffs for the next decade plus the quick rise to prominence! Edited April 7 by Chandler#81 2 2 1 Quote

They had a painters hat give away, as the Bills kept adding points, Jet fans burned more hats. It was also my first game at the meadowlands. 2 minutes ago, Bills!Win! said: How and why?

Rubes Posted April 7 Posted April 7 Man, I vividly remember watching this game while at college in my apartment. The guys living right below us were Jets fans, and I remember cheering so loudly in this game that it had to seriously piss them off. Good times. 1 1 Quote

Edit: Art Still sighting! Edit 2: About 23:00 they're talking about Conrad Dobler, Al is talking about Dobler's book, "They Call Me Dirty." Dierdorf remarks "I'm just surprised it wasn't in crayon." Jets were a 2 point favorite in the game lol Edit 3: I just now realized they took away my Fruitful Bran Enjoying this way more than I should and having way more recalls from my youth than I should.

Oct. 17, 1988 — Bills 37, Jets 14 The “Pumpkin Game” featured 41 incidents of improper behavior in the stands, 15 arrests and 56 ejections. Fans burned complimentary paper hats in the stands and batted around an inflated pumpkin. This game led to the stadium halting beer sales after halftime during night games. 1 Quote

I think I've made this comment on here before but they need to make a 30 for 30 on this game 😁 2 Quote

Bills!Win! Posted April 7 Posted April 7 The jets current drought is so appropriate. Couldn’t have happened to a worse fan base 1 Quote

I was there with both high school and college friends for the game when we clinched the division. It was a blast as I was the 4th person on top of the goal post. That is for all of 6 seconds until people climbed me like a ladder. My buddy was so drunk Dave lost his sneaker in the debacle. Big Old Freddy Smerlas blocking that field goal. 1 Quote
DaVinci Posted April 7 Posted April 7 from Jets forum I was at my game with my Dad. I have to say, it wasn't much of a family atmosphere then but it was a lot of fun. That night (Campbells soup hat night) they were passing this inflatable blow up doll around the stadium (true story). Anyhow, most people would just tap the blow up doll and keep passing it along beach ball style. This one guy gets it and basically just started molesting it. He was on top of this thing like it was his prison B word. Security came over and they really didn't know what to do. Between all the fires and then a guy getting it on with a blow up doll the yellow jackets were having a tough day 2 Quote

What a time that was when security guards didn't know what to in those situations. Nowadays you would be getting arrested, ejected and fined without a flinch from the security team. Quote

Me too njbuff!! That was a great night for us Bills’ fans in attendance. The Jets’ fans were as classless as ever (worst one I went to by far). I was wearing a Bills’ hat and a Rutgers sweatshirt and some Jets’ fan said “Rut-gahs and the Bills wha-ya a reetard” (still makes me laugh). When we started to crush them, the burning followed and the “Joe must go” chants got real loud (end of the Joe Walton era ). I think that crazy night was the reason the Meadowlands stopped selling beer at night games. Great memory, glad this got posted! Edited April 7 by biggerdaddynj 1 Quote
