Honest Recap #2

Honest Recap #2: Explosion in Buffalo
“It never is easy” said my grandmother said just mere seconds after the final whistle blew in Buffalo last night. And if I’m staying true to the title of this column; my grandmother is nothing but 100% right about the Jets. In a high scoring, fantasy football busting, football game; the Jets always seem to make every game an emotional roller coaster which drives there fans up a wall each and every second of the game. Ryan Fitzpatrick finished with 374 yards going 24/34 and one score, but in the first quarter fumbled the ball once (almost twice) which would have completely changed the game. Brandon Marshall gave all the Jets fans a heart attack when he got pulled down on a facemask by Ronald Darby in the second quarter. Marshall’s knee buckled and looked like a season ending injury that turned into just a mini scare. Matt Fortè has just cashed in his entire contract last night in Buffalo. The offense was rolling on all cylinders last night and it was a pleasant look at what is to come for this year and the years moving forward. Quincy Enunwa was shaped shifted into the new top target of Fitzpatrick. Marshall had 106 receiving yards, Eric Decker caught six balls for 125 and a touchdown. The Bills defense couldn’t catch up with anything that the Jets where doing last night. The Jets showed that they could possibly have one of top offenses in the NFL.
The defense was a little shaky for me at times last night. There was a busted coverage on the Marcus Goodwin eighty-yard play. Darrelle Revis is getting older and has played terrible in the first two weeks of this season. Even with Brandon Marshall saying after the game that he is the best in the game, I am hesitating in following that statement and am cautious about saying Revis is the best in the game anymore. I still think that the Jets defense is the third best in the NFL with the best front line in the league, but with Revis Island taking refugees I am wondering when the Island will have to shut down its doors. The Jets get a well needed couple of extra days to prepare for the trip to Kansas City. Hopefully Jets fans everywhere can witness another successful business trip and not see a horrible loss in the loudest place to play. See you next week and as always LET’S GO JETS!

2024 MLB Preview

  Opening Day is about 24 hours away and the Shohei Ohtani gambling story has stole all the headlines and fleeting moments of baseball conversation over the past few days, many have now forgotten about the exciting marathon ahead of us! Even with the ever-evolving Ohtani story clouding the beginning of the Los Angeles Dodgers season, that doesn’t change the fact that L.A. is still the team to beat in baseball. The Dodgers have put their chips at the center of the table, no pun intended, for 2024 to show they can raise another World Series trophy after sending upwards of a billion dollars in free agency. In division however, the surprise Arizona Diamondbacks are capitalizing on their newfound championship window with a fantastic offseason that will have them in the mix to get back to a second straight fall classic. The San Diego Padres are done shopping for superstars, sort of, following a massively disappointing season that saw them move on from one of the games generational talent...

Dan Hurley Saved College Basketball

When you think of Men’s College Basketball, the names of Wooden, Dean, Krzyzewski, Williams, Thompson, and Calipari shoot to mind right away. All the memories of the great teams from UCLA, Duke, North Carolina, Kentucky, the Big East, UNLV, and even the Fab Five start to rush back. Nostalgia of a time when the sport meant something different. For all those longing for the days when great teams didn’t dissipate into the transfer portal after one disappointing year—Dan Hurley and the Connecticut Huskies are here to save the day! UConn has done something that only seven other programs have done in the history of college basketball, repeat as champions. Forget all the talk about “best team of all-time,” even though if you look at point differential (like it truly matters), this UConn team is the best team to ever play in the NCAA Tournament. This team means much more to the game of college basketball than that. Coach Hurley has given college basketball what it has been missing since the in...

Last Year the Season was one game long, it's different this year

  It took 363 days, but Jets fans finally got the debut from Aaron Rodgers they waited for. This time around that debut ended in a blowout loss on the road to the San Francisco 49’ers. Last year the Jets won the battle but lost the war following their overtime walk-off win against the Buffalo Bills. This year, the Jets hope they lost the battle but because they have Rodgers they will win the war.   Of all the ways the game could have gone last night, having the Jets defense get thoroughly dominated on the ground by a third year running back, Jordan Mason, who wasn’t a household name until last night, wasn’t on the bingo card. The trademark for Robert Saleh has been his defense. That’s what got him hired from San Francisco. The defense is what Jet fans have pointed to as a reason for optimism heading into this year with Rodgers. The defense was finally supposed to get the complimentary football they have been dying for since Robert Saleh walked in the doors at Florham Park...
