BLOW UP THE MEADOWLANDS, PART TWO
I respect the Seattle P-I's Clare Farnsworth tremendously. He's one of the best beat writers in the NFL, no question. But I have to take him to task here.
Seahawks routed by Jets but still lead NFC West
BURIED AT THE MEADOWLANDS
The Seahawks fell to 6-10 at the Meadowlands after the 37-14 loss yesterday to the New York Jets. After winning six consecutive games in East Rutherford, N.J., from 1977 to 1983, the Seahawks have lost nine consecutive games on the road to the Giants and Jets.
This was my Meadowlands post from yesterday:
The Seattle Seahawks are 1-10 all-time at Giants Stadium
SEAHAWKS VS GIANTS @ Giants Stadium (1-5)
11/28/76 L, 28-16
12/11/83 W, 17-12
11/19/89 L, 15-3
12/23/01 L, 27-24
10/25/92 L, 23-10
9/22/02 L, 9-6
SEAHAWKS VS JETS @ Giants Stadium (0-5)
10/27/85 L, 17-14
11/9/87 L, 30-14
12/6/98 L, 32-31
1/2/00 L, 19-9
12/19/04 L, 37-14
In case you were wondering, the Seahawks were 5-0 against the Jets at Shea Stadium.
(Thanks to the NFL Record and Fact Book for the above facts)
Farnsworth was incorrect. In the 5 games that the Seahawks played the Jets on the road, those games were played at Shea Stadium. The Jets did not play their home games at Giants Stadium until 1984.
SEAHAWKS VS JETS @ SHEA STADIUM (5-0)
11/13/77 W, 17-0
9/17/78 W, 24-17
10/19/80 W, 27-17
10/25/81 W, 19-3
9/11/83 W, 17-10

Again, blow up the Meadowlands. Or at the very least, let's get a new stadium built for the Jets in New York!
