Thanks for posting this. What a gem. The primitive look of the camera angles, the focus on the game, not on maximum commercial time (you actually see them huddle up), and the simplicity, no drama...just football. I miss the 80s and I miss how good everything used to be.
Well put. These were some of the best broadcasts of the🏈🏉NFL🏈Football🏉🏈 , along with the classic 1970's Monday Night Football games which I still say are the best broadcasts EVER! The Monday Night games had it all and ALL was just this....ALL FOOTBALL! No drama induced soap opera reporting, just the game, the players, and the plays! ESPN has turned NFL football into a mockery of what it once was. So sad, but so true!
i have zero clue why they don't atleast look into playing at yankee stadium. i mean, i know it's money and capacity. but they'd benefit from the move in the long run.
@@shawnflanagan4995 good question. But my recollection was that nyc mayor John Lindsay was mad at the Giants for announcing move to the meadowlands so when the refurbishment of Yankee Stadium came up they decided to make it a baseball based remodel without considering football. Maybe short sighted because of the jets horrible lease at Shea stadium but realistically Hess wanted a football only stadium and he loved the meadowlands for being clean and well maintained. Only way to safe jets from moving was to build football only stadium but $$ wasn’t there. Not to mention the land. Would’ve had to build it on the parking lot where citifield is now but then there’d be no parking at the site.
I loved the Jets uniforms from this era, and actually from the early 70's as well. They are one of the few teams who when they did change their logos, uniforms, and helmets they did it right! The 70's white with the green Football and the Jets inside, ICONIC! This helmet, great design! I may be a lifetime Packers fan but I love the NFL and some of the teams have some awesome logos, helmets, and uniforms. And some, um not so much....lol.
This Jets team got me into football as an 8 year old kid. I still remember getting packs of football bubble gum cards, looking for a Richard Todd "In Action", and the thrill of finally finding one. Ahhh the good old days.
Their road uniforms were actually much better once they added the creamsicle pants in 1992 but they only got 5 seasons out of him wish they would've brought those out back in the 70s.
@Michael Forrester yeah they spent how much rebuilding Yankee Stadium in 1970s. When KC built arrowhead and Kauffman for a less amount. Plus a cheaper renovation could've kept more of the vibe of it. That is if Steinbrenner went along with it. Back to Shea if the jets stuck out further into 80s. They maybe could've renovated it with the mets different owners.
Yeah didn't they beat the Lions the week before on Monday Night Football or something like that? Yeah, Doug Williams had a cannon for an arm, the Bucs had a good season this year so this was a great win for the Jets.
@@russellguercio5357 Bahahahahahaha!! Williams was not a good QB. He was average, and later on with the skins played better. Everyone around here, mostly the ones too young to see him play would say how great he was.. I guess if they are comparing Williams with the other quarterbacks on the roster the time, maybe LOL
Living in the Buffalo area at the time(the Steelers @ Bills game was blacked out that day), I remember this game being available to Buffalo viewers via the CBC network in Canada.
Joseph Pinkney Shea Stadiums turf was always terrible. The Mets for the baseball season at least would get new sod planted in the spring. But being that the baseball season bled right into football there was no time for touch ups so the Jets home games were played on muck all the time.
It was the only true home the Jets have ever had. Since their move to New Jersey and sharing a stadium with the Giants starting in 1984 it' always felt like we're second class citizens to the Giant crowd. Shea was crummy and old but it was the JETS HOME.
@@rustykuntz94 Shea belonged to the METS!!! Never the Jets...believe it or not the Jets NEVER had a home they could call their own, they were always co-tenants, even when they were the Titans they played at the Polo Grounds where they shared with the baseball Giants before they went to SF, when Shea was built it was built for the Mets, the owner (M. Donald Grant) hated the idea that a football team especially from the new AFL (American Football League) would be sharing the stadium. The Giants played their home games at Yankee Stadium before they decided they had had enough of New York.
Lowell Underwood I’m a huge Mets fan too so I know the whole deal. My point was Shea was far better a home to the Jets than Giants Stadium/Met Life Stadium ever was or will be
Steve Austin I was too young to attend an Jets games at Shea but me and my Dad went to plenty of Mets games there. In the 80s they always played whatever was the hot song of the time in between innings. I still remember whenever Doc Gooden pitched in his early years as he was warming up to start the game they always played “Let’s Hear it for the Boy” from Footloose LoL
I was actually at this game. Lived around the corner from the stadium at the time. It was cold but a very entertaining game...from a Jet fan perspective.
Man, you can see how much smaller the players were than compared to now. Wow how things change. I guess thats" why so many injuries happen today as compared to back then.
The Jets playoff record at Home since the 1970 merger: 1981 vs Bills L 27-31 1998 vs Jaguars W 34-24 2002 vs Colts W 41-0 Their road playoff record is: 7-10
lots of empty seats for this one...attended many jet games at shea in the 70s and early 80s with my dad....always tons of empty seats ..the actual attendance was usually about half of the announced...remember playing the 0-14 saints in December 1980 at shea and there were only about 10,000 there...yes the saints won bringing their record to 1-14 courtesy of the jets...lol
Summerall, Madden, cold weather, real grass not that fake ass shit and one of the top 5 uniforms in sports history!! Oh and Brent Musberger. Those were the days
Week 11 1985, Jets 62 Bucs 28, crazy game. The game was delayed almost a hour at the start as the stadium had a power failure. Bucs score 2 fast TD's, then the Jets score 31 unanswered points. Years ago that game was up in full on youtube but it got pulled, haven't seen it on here since.
jets laid it on because the season before, bucs made a mockery of their game vs jets by allowing the jets to score and then getting the ball back and allowing james wilder to get his 1000 yard season.!
BIG SHEA was the greatest of all "two sport" Stadiums. Lots of Magic and big crowds. Passionate and noisy! A relative bargain for the time. Those were the days my friend.
Madden and Summerall doing a NEW YORK JETS game----with RESPECT in the tone of their voices. This was the LAST TRUE times that the JETS were a REAL NFL Force. Left Shea in 1983, NEVER EVER respected again. Period. Leon Hess was duped by Madison avenue dollars( with the full consent of NFL auspices) into leaving, because HE WAS A NICE GUY! Leo Durocher explained where that will get ya. HISTORY proved Leo right. Jet green and white stands for second class citizenship and an embarrassing legacy of LOSING. IT will take YEARS and YEARS of consistent winning and relevancy, multiple Super Bowl victories( NOT COUNTING 1969), to get This Jet historian to become a FAN again. Sorry, but that's the Sad truth created by ACCEPTANCE of Second Class Citizenship.
Hess' complaint was the dirty bathrooms at Shea(and lets be honest Shea was decrepit then), He SHOULD have chosen to come back (to a proposed football only new stadium at the Iron Triangle) in '86 but the prideful man that Hess was, he decided to remain in NJ, using the excuse he didn't think the stadium would be completed in timely fashion by 1989 or 1990!
Why did they keep Leahy so long? He really blew a lot of easy field goals ( and extra points) over the years. Extremely overrated 2:24:41 I was even thinking to myself, "hey the Jets are almost at the 5-yard line, almost in Leahy's range" Oh gee , look. ... 2:26:14
Kicking at Shea would make anyone look bad. Once they moved to the Medowlands he was suddenly about the most consistent kicker in the game. Never had great range thought.
The Bucs' first cold-weather win was the 2002 regular season finale against the Bears -- and their second was that year's NFC Championship at Philadelphia, which sent them to their first Super Bowl.
@derek morton I also see, you do not remember how to speak and type proper English . Your're not stupid. You know damn well What Bucs means. When I refer to the BUCCANEERS. (Is that better Marian the Librarian?)
Shea Stadium in Queens. Grass field. Tampa Bay freezing and playing in their old school uniforms. Miss this so much.
yeah.. The Bucs and Jets both had better uniforms back in the '8os..
The best part about these old games is the commercials really completes the time travel experience of these games.
Especially the English Leather Commercial with Joan Severance. Holy Smokes!
I love it
Very well said.
Car financing at 10.9 APR.
@@radar0412 That was a great commercial as Joan was smoking hot in that commercial!
Thanks for posting this. What a gem. The primitive look of the camera angles, the focus on the game, not on maximum commercial time (you actually see them huddle up), and the simplicity, no drama...just football. I miss the 80s and I miss how good everything used to be.

I agree completely. Its sad how things have changed so much
Pat and John were the best announcers ever to call games I really miss hearing them RIP...
Summerall was good. Madden sucked balls.
Jets have played in Meadowlands much longer than they played at Shea Stadium. That being said I loved when they played at Shea Stadium.
Absolutely, 20 seasons at Shea and 37 at Meadowlands Stadiums (Giants Stadium and MetLife).
i have zero clue why they don't atleast look into playing at yankee stadium. i mean, i know it's money and capacity. but they'd benefit from the move in the long run.

What a cool game setting..like John Madden would say"This is football" in the cold and slop. Good old Shea!

I miss the Creamsicles and Bucco Bruce so much. They were perhaps my favorite along with Pat the Patriot helmets
I love both of these teams uniforms more than the current ones.
pretty cool to watch these games of the past and hearing names that I had forgotten about...I get a big kick out of the commercials too!
This is Gus Farley. I am a longtime jets fan. I will never forget that game between the jets and Tampa bay buccaneers at snowy Shea
I liked these buccaneers uniforms more than the ones they have now.
Me too. The white ones were better than the orange ones.
Their road uniforms were actually much better once they added the creamsicle pants in 1992 but they only got 5 seasons out of him wish they would've brought those out back in the 70s.
Jamil McCoy: Agreed! .👍🍺🍺.
You like Bruce the Buccaneer on the helmet?
Pewter power!
Jets need those unis back ASAP
Football before there was more dancing and celebrating, than there was football being played. I miss those days.
Love these games from the 80's
I was at this game had a great time freezing cold day 😊😉
freeman mcneil my favorite as a kid if jets didnt move to giants stadium and that concrete turf freeman could of been hall of famer
NYC should have built a new stadium for them in Queens in the 80's
The city was broke at that time.
The city didn’t even want to renovate the stadium until the Jets moved to jersey.
@Michael Forrester yeah they spent how much rebuilding Yankee Stadium in 1970s. When KC built arrowhead and Kauffman for a less amount. Plus a cheaper renovation could've kept more of the vibe of it. That is if Steinbrenner went along with it. Back to Shea if the jets stuck out further into 80s. They maybe could've renovated it with the mets different owners.
No the owners should have paid and built it not us taxpayers
The Jets went 4-0 vs the NFC Central in the 1982 season. Doug Williams had one of the strongest arms I had ever seen.
Yeah didn't they beat the Lions the week before on Monday Night Football or something like that? Yeah, Doug Williams had a cannon for an arm, the Bucs had a good season this year so this was a great win for the Jets.
You know the old saying. The only one who could overthrow the Ayatollah.
@@russellguercio5357 Bahahahahahaha!! Williams was not a good QB. He was average, and later on with the skins played better.

Remember these games like they were played yesterday
Living in the Buffalo area at the time(the Steelers @ Bills game was blacked out that day), I remember this game being available to Buffalo viewers via the CBC network in Canada.
That Patriots/Fish game they referred to...that was the snowplow game
This is went football was football. Love that field.

@@rustykuntz94 I know i love the muck.That's football to me dirty uniforms.
More Jets games from Shea Stadium please!
Yes absolutely, like the win against Green bay, the 68' afl championship game etc etc etc
It was the only true home the Jets have ever had. Since their move to New Jersey and sharing a stadium with the Giants starting in 1984 it' always felt like we're second class citizens to the Giant crowd. Shea was crummy and old but it was the JETS HOME.

Jets should go back to that uniform Kelly green looks great with fhe logo
Be.in.newyork
I was at this freezing cold game with my father... fun times
This was one of the milder winters on record at the time, but I remember December 12 as being perhaps the coldest day that season.
This was the same day of the infamous SNOWPLOW game between the Pats & Dolphins up in Foxborough.
@L.I. Schooner ...but it was not against the rules.
@L.I. Schooner Trolls keep saying it was "cheating," but even Pete Rozelle said it wasn't.
@Rusty Kuntz: This was also the day the Buffalo Bills shut out Pittsburgh by a 13-0 score... it would be their last win until week 2 the next season.
I remember that day too. I recall it being bitter cold.
I’m watching a old Jets game from 1982 from sheaduim.
2:06 America's "You Can Do Magic" blaring from the Shea Stadium speakers!
I caught that too lol
Foreshadowing or what? 1:15:10-1:15:14 is a name that would haunt the Jets for years to come.
Dan fucking Marino, Jets took Ken O'Brien 1 pick ahead of Marino and lived to regret it forever.
If that’s not 1982, then I don’t know what is.
this game was nothing compared to what the weather was like for the bucs in 1985 playing in the ''snowbowl'' in green bay
Summerall and madden dodging snowballs in the booth at halftime
They had a good sense of humor about it lo
Wow, Dick Vermeil calling Lawrence Taylor “the Gorilla from Manila” on national TV with Irv Cross sitting across from him. My how times have changed
Jets missed big time by not bringing these uniforms back when they made the change. Friggin AWESOME!!!!
the unis are nasty. the helmets are "meh".
18 months hence the offence of the New Jersey Generals looked surprisingly similar to that of the Jets in this game.
Mark Gastineau. All time great.
Not a Jets fan but I agree with you
@Samantha I. More potential?? He had 107 Sacks in a 108 Games Started. Only LT was feared more on the pass rush than Mark. He should be in the HOF.
Thanks for posting!
Great content, thanks!
2:21:57 a fan can be heard screaming to who knows who "hey, you got herpes you motherfucker!!!" New Yorkers haha
wonder if the guy was found and kicked out
selmon was such a beast
Man, you can see how much smaller the players were than compared to now. Wow how things change. I guess thats" why so many injuries happen today as compared to back then.
Charlie Munk At this time, an olineman was considered big if he was 275-280. 300 was monsterous.
Love the old Kelly Green the jets were sporting back then.
McNeil way underrated
always hurt
5:13 "Richard Todd, having a fine year."
That is until the AFC Championship Game in Miami just over a month later......
he never played well again after that mud bowl
replay clip of Stan Blinka hitting John Jefferson at 1:35:57 . Blinka was suspended for this game by Pete Rozelle for the act.
“Tush Push!!”……unstoppable!
1:29:08 Snowball attack on Summerall and Madden gets worse.
Creamsicle uniforms for Tampa Bay and the Jets in there green helmets
I think that this is the game Madden had a snowball fight with the crowd
The Jets playoff record at Home since the 1970 merger:
1981 vs Bills L 27-31
1998 vs Jaguars W 34-24
2002 vs Colts W 41-0
Their road playoff record is:
7-10
superbowl was technically a road game!
playoff record 12-13
8-10 on road
4-3 at home
lots of empty seats for this one...attended many jet games at shea in the 70s and early 80s with my dad....always tons of empty seats ..the actual attendance was usually about half of the announced...remember playing the 0-14 saints in December 1980 at shea and there were only about 10,000 there...yes the saints won bringing their record to 1-14 courtesy of the jets...lol

Gastineau was the greatest pass rusher all time. Should be in the HOF
Summerall, Madden, cold weather, real grass not that fake ass shit and one of the top 5 uniforms in sports history!! Oh and Brent Musberger. Those were the days
Looking for the game between these same 2 teams in 1985 where the Jets scored 62 points. Does anyone here have this game posted?
Week 11 1985, Jets 62 Bucs 28, crazy game. The game was delayed almost a hour at the start as the stadium had a power failure. Bucs score 2 fast TD's, then the Jets score 31 unanswered points. Years ago that game was up in full on youtube but it got pulled, haven't seen it on here since.

By any chance do you have the 1984 Jets at Buccaneers game with all the onside kicks? I'd love to see that one.
James Wilder went off that year
1:25:27 Audio trouble with Pat and John. It sounds like they were coming over the stadium P.A. system and feeding back badly.
51:11 From Radio Shack your Christmas Electronics store.....NO MORE lol
I was there bet the UNDER LMAO...Snowball Heaven..

so now we know. has john madden ever worn pantyhose? answer: Most definately yes
So this was week 6? How in the world was there that kind of weather in mid October?
82 was a prolonged strike year. That's why it's only week 6 in December
James Tepera that’s right. They only played 9 games that year. I forgot.
Why did they keep Leahy so long? He really blew a lot of easy field goals ( and extra points) over the years. Extremely overrated

This odd looking garment under there helmets. It a doo rag! ROF!
We know for sure that was a loss for the bucs that day they did not win a cold weather game until 2002
Yeah, when they showed the temperature, I knew how this game was going to turn out. This was also one of the better Jets teams.
The Bucs' first cold-weather win was the 2002 regular season finale against the Bears -- and their second was that year's NFC Championship at Philadelphia, which sent them to their first Super Bowl.

is there any significance to this game? Not quite sure how it came across my algorithm of videos
