It is still disconcerting when a football stadium looks and sounds the way MetLife Stadium looked and felt Sunday afternoon. It is still a shock to the system when the players wearing blue jerseys are booed when they jog onto the field, when the guys in the yellow helmets are cheered when they convert a third-and-7.
That is the soundtrack of this building these days, of course, as this endless toothache of a football season grinds toward the finish line. A week ago, MetLife sounded an awful lot like Oakland’s Black Hole when the Raiders visited the Jets; somehow, the Jets shook that off and actually seemed to draw a little inspiration from it.
