Week 6 NFL Pick: Jets to Fly Past Banged Up Colts
Week 5’s game against Denver started with a strip fumble that the Broncos recovered. It looked like the Gang Greens recent gangrenous play would continue. But alas, the Jets rolled the dastardly dung-heads from Denver, 34 – 16! The situational statistics I gave last week all pointed to a Jets victory. But because Darnold and… Read more
Jets \ Broncos Game Observations
After an awful three weeks of football the Jets finally put together a complete effort and defeated DEN 34-16. A game that started with two “here we go again” moments (Bilal Powell fumble & Jason Myers missed FG) changed on the first of three huge offensive plays. Shockingly Von Miller, Bradley Chubb and Shane Ray were neutralized by an… Read more
Crowell Wipes Slate Clean With Record Setting Performance
And just like that, all is forgiven. They say that winning in pro sports cures all, and dominant performances like the one Isaiah Crowell had yesterday doesn’t hurt either. Crowell’s outing against the Denver Broncos will go a long way in reversing any ill will from a fan base that was less than thrilled when… Read more
Jets Game Balls Following Blowout win Over Broncos
You know it was a good game when you’re trying to pick a few Jets to earn recognition for standing out and it begins to feel like a modern-day “everyone gets a trophy” league. From top to bottom, on offense, defense and special teams, there were players and entire units that stood out. Here are… Read more
Jets Snap Three Game Skid, Maul Broncos 34-16
It’s important to remember that it’s only one game, but the New York Jets couldn’t have drawn it up any better. As a matter of fact, if they did have the chance to decide exactly how today’s win against the Broncos were to unfold, they may have chosen to have it go exactly as it… Read more
Broncos vs. Jets: Who’s Dinged Up, Who Can Step Up?
The Jets host the Broncos in their second home game of the season Sunday at 1pm on CBS. After starting the season with a victory over the Lions, the Jets have lost 3 straight, falling to 1-3. The season is far from over, but it will be if the Jets don’t find a way to… Read more
Week 5 Jets Pick: The Denver Broncos Come to MetLife
The last few weeks have squashed my dreams like a football-field-sized nightmare boot from hell. My dreams were not even overly ambitious. In fact, they were fairly modest. I just had high hopes that the Jets would come in second in the AFC East. A wildcard berth would have been nice, but that wasn’t even… Read more
Does Drafting Offensive Linemen High Really Work?
For as long as people have been talking about football, the debate over whether or not early round draft picks really pan out more frequently that late round picks has been a focal point of conversation. Fans watch every year as a handful of draft picks wash out of the league or never come close… Read more
Pair of Young Jets Starting to Come on?
There wasn’t much good to take from the Jets 31-12 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, but the contributions of a couple of young players who had previously failed to show a whole lot is worth keeping an eye on. Second-year tight end Jordan Leggett and rookie defensive lineman Nathan Shepherd each had solid… Read more
Did Todd Bowles Just Contradict Jamal Adams…Again?
For the second time in as many weeks, Jets head coach Todd Bowles contradicted a statement that was made by one of the team’s building blocks in safety Jamal Adams when discussing the team’s preparation for an upcoming opponent and some changes (or maybe not) that are going to be implemented. The first instance occurred… Read more
The Good, bad and Ugly From Season’s First Quarter
Well, Jets fans surely hoped for better than the 1-3 start Gang Green is off to this season, but Mike Maccagnan probably hoped he’d get better performance out of Trumaine Johnson when he handed him a bazilion dollars to be the team’s number one corner. Johnson has been one of several disappointments thus far, but… Read more
Quarter Point Observations
After reviewing the first four games of the Jet season one phrase comes to mind, “defensive regression”. I’ve never been one to play the “fire the coach” social media game when a team loses. Changing coaches frequently (CLE) doesn’t allow an organization to progress and breeds instability. But if the nonsense on the defensive side of the ball… Read more
