SmAllfish would be a better nickname. More apt I bet.

Better give the refs a game ball, they deserve it.

So why are you paying money this year, or even last year after the decision was final that they were building the new stadium? That’s the disconnect I have with you going today and Woody using your money to build the new stadium!

Corey, thanks for bringing to mind this game as likely the last time the Jets will host the Dolphins in this stadium. Not living in the NY area since 1980, I never referred to it as Giants Stadium, but rathers as “the Meadowlands”, like the rest of the NFL.

I have many memories of the great Jets/Fish games in this place, but I’m looking forward to losing the stigma of playing in “Giants Stadium.” One of the last games I saw there was against the Dolphins a couple years ago.

For a while there, I was so excited to think that the Jets were going to get their own stadium in Manhattan, but now hope to visit the new stadium in the coming years.

Looking forward to many more memorable games against the Dolphins…

Greg, while woody will not miss my money I will, not paying extortion money to this creep.

Even then, as a NYer I am tired of the commute, was holding out hope they would return in my lifetime, not going to happen so the big screen tv is now my best friend.

Off the my final appearance, hope to return in a good mood.

Wise — don’t cut off your nose to spite your face. Woody won’t miss your money.

Not very often mentioned as part of the MNMiracle is the fact that going into the game, the Dolphins and Jets were both 5-1, but the Dolphins had allowed just three TDs and 51 total points in their first six games! That extended to 58 points and four TD’s through six games and three quarters.

In the 4th Q alone the Jets matched the four TDs the Dolphins had given up in almost half a season, and put up 30 pts (33 including OT). They only gave up more than two TDs in a game in the season finale, after clinching.

So it wasn’t just a sudden, unexpected outpour of points, it came against a team that had allowed less points and TDs through 6.75 games than the 85 or 86 Bears, 71 Vikings, 76 Steelers, 2000 Ravens, or any team since the merger.

Oh yeah, if the rumors here are true, I will get to watch my last JETs home game with my favorite team wearing another teams uniforms. Exporting lovely.
