Will 9-11 help the Jets this Sunday?
 

Its a pretty emotional day for New Yorkers... Think it will be extra motivation for them? This is the first Sunday to fall on 9-11...

This will be the first 9-11 that I won't feel sorry for them... well just Jet fans. Im still saddened by the whole 9-11 deal... but that isnt gonna mean shit come kickoff.

I guess it might depend on how much the stadium does pregame in regards to 9/11.

I remember the Giants game after 9/11/01, where the pregame ceremony seemed to really subdue the fans. I don't see it having that effect this year though.

Personally, I think the players play just as hard regardless of the sentimental issues.

Or will it affect how the refs call the game?




Hey, just a thought. Something to ponder.

I wondered when/ how the Media was going to 9/11 this.

Next thing they'll want everyone to roll over for Jets/Giants since we all love NYC. (NOT)

I don't think it will affect the game at all.

9/11 is ALREADY part of the US nostalgia. Until it happens again, people are too embroiled in their personal lives to REALLY care.

No.

Too be honest, I dont think it matters. Like really, football is football, and the best team is going to win anyway.

After Sunday the Jets will remember 9 11 as the day they got their azzes kicked at Arrowhead. Leave the politics out of football. I am there to watch the game not get bummed out about 911 or the hurrican, give it a break all ready.

I think the hurricane stuff will overshadow it a bit right now, since it is fresh in the minds of Americans.

in 2001 I stood up and cheered for the Giants as they made their way onto the field.

That was the first and only time I'd ever did that.

This year the NY Jets are going to feel right at home because they are going to be getting a big bronx cheer from me.

I just read that 9/11 is questionable for the game because of a bad hamstring.

I think its just plain wrong for you guys to even begin to link 9/11 to football. I have lost neighbors and family members and to this day, everytime I see 9/11 footage i ball. Football is a game, 9/11 affected millions of New Yorkers and Americans because it was the greatest tradgedy in this great nations history. I'm sorry if you midwestern guys dont understand, but 9/11 is not even close to a giggleing matter up here. The game sunday will be played on the grass at arrowhead and everything else will be out the door. No, 9/11 will not "pump" the jets up or have them play with any extra emotion. But shame on all of you for making it into a mockery. Shame on you.

Sorry if we are not allowed to discuss 9/11 here in the Midwest. Also, you are way off base. We are discussing IF it will be connected to the football game. I myself would prefer that it wasn't since we don't really see how it can help our team.

I understand, and talking about 9/11 is not a problem to me at all. But when you have guys saying "I heard 9/11 is questionable because of a bad hamstring", I just think thats ediotic, uncalled for and insenseitive.

Well at least not as much as spot’n them 14 points would, which IMO is what they’re gonna need to beat the Chiefs. ;)
