Honest Review #6

Honest Review #6: Mercy
Let me start off by correcting myself from week 3, THIS IS THE WORST GAME OF THE SEASON. I had so much confidence going into this game with the amount of the talent on both sides of the ball, plus the way Arizona was playing football. Ryan Fitzpatrick who I have loved since he made his first start last year in Week One. I backed him after his terrible performance in Week Three in Kansas City. I cannot back him after this performance in Arizona. Fitz’ final line was 16/31 one hundred and seventy-four yards and an interception. The white flag was flown when the Jets put in third year man Geno Smith in the fourth quarter. Geno, who I loved in his rookie season, and thought the Jets in 2013 were only one step away with Geno in the back field. Geno in this game went 4/6 thirty-one yards and an interception. Geno is not the answer for this offense and he never will, just plain and simple. In my opinion Bryce Petty is the answer for this offense. Unfortunately, that won’t be until next year with Petty being on IR.

This offense is just absolutely deplorable and it is not the fault of Brandon Marshall, I actually feel horrible for Brandon Marshall. Matt Fortè has been nothing short of awful this season, excluding the Week Two win (because the entire team was on fire). Fortè had nine carries for nineteen yards and only one catch for three yards. Fortè also dropped a key third down ball in the first half that killed the drive.

Moving on to the defense that I love so much. Well this week it only showed sites of being a great defense. The defense couldn’t tackle to save their lives. Penalties absolutely killed the defense and prolonged the Cardinals drives to extend the lead and kill clock. Another thing that I noticed about the team as a whole is the fact that the Jets can’t get good field position at all throughout the entire game. The first four drives for the Jets started inside the Jets own twenty-yard line.

For the amount of confidence that I have had throughout the week and most of the game, I have none following that loss. I will say this, it is not Todd Bowles fault, blame will be put on his shoulders, but he can only do so much. Chan Gailey needs to be fired, Ryan Fitzpatrick and Geno Smith need to be benched if that was only possible. What this team is lacking is depth and right now that is killing the team as a whole. Eric Decker has missed more than I anticipated and that will become devastating for the Jets for the rest of the season. Right now I am now just waiting for pitchers and catchers to begin because I can’t take the heart wrenching pain of watching another terrible loss. After the great season last year just fell short, the entire Jet fan base felt like the team was moving on to bigger and better things, especially after signing Matt Fortè. Right now it is the same old feeling that the Jets have felt since 1970 and that is helplessness and despair after yet another loss.

I don’t know what there is to say after a blow-out no contest game like this. I am not looking forward to Sunday what so ever at the moment. It seems to be at the moment that the Jets will be picking in the lottery in the upcoming draft, and yet another quarterback might be coming off the board and heading into the crap shoot that is Gotham City right now. But as always LET’S GO JETS!

The 2023 Offseason is Brian Cashman's Biggest Test Yet

Image
   Now that the World Series is over five days from now the offseason begins. With that in mind, this is the biggest offseason that Brian Cashman will have in his 25-year tenure as Yankee General Manager. For the first time since 2016 the Bronx Bombers watched the postseason from their couches, and they earned that right. Amazingly, this team finished over .500, although not that far above that mark. This iteration of the Bronx Bombers finish with the same record as that 2016 team—but the feeling with this squad feels different. Following the 2016 season, there was hope of the two power bats that would usher in the “Baby Bombers,” and in that offseason, the farm system was rated in the Top 10 in all of baseball. There was almost certainty that Brian Cashman would put a championship team around Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez, Greg Bird, and Luis Severino that would be a title contender for years to come. There was hope. And that hope almost turned into reality. Almost. But, that was then

The Question going into the Trade Deadline for the New York Yankees

  There is a crossroads in the Bronx in between River and 161 st Street right now. As New York Yankee Manager Aaron Boone likes to put it “[the season] is right in front of them.” The second half of the season is for the taking. As we move into the dog days of summer the Bronx Bombers are nine games out of the division and now a game and a half out of the AL Wild Card race following a disappointing first series in Colorado. With that, the historic starting Tampa Bay Rays have cooled off, going 3-7 before the break while showing signs of being mortal. Baltimore, who has been keeping pace with Tampa, didn’t look like a Superpower when they split against the Yankees two series before the break. The AL East is still a Spartan Training Facility with every team above .500, the Orioles holding the first Wild Card spot, and the “struggling” Boston Red Sox tied the Yankees in the Wild Card race. And unlike Robin Williams in Mrs. Doubtfire, help is not on the way. Aaron Judge’s toe is still a m

The Answer for the Mets

  As Yogi Berra would say “it’s déjà vu all over again.” Buck Showalter is an all too familiar place. The 67-year-old manager has taken a time machine back to 2012. No, he is not managing in Baltimore anymore, however that’s what it feels like the end of Showalter’s Oriole tenure in Queens right now. The Mets simply can’t get out of their own way. With Pete Alonso likely headed to the Injured List, the Mets scored 10 runs last night in Atlanta. 10 runs on the heels of back-to-back gut-wrenching losses at the hands of the team that has foiled the Mets for the better part of almost three decades, the Atlanta Braves. 10 runs with their hired ace, Justin Verlander, who was looking to put together good starts consecutively for the first time all season. The Mets looked like they were about to exercise some demons in Atlanta last night, and then, the other shoe dropped. It wasn’t good enough. Again. Last night, I wrote that the Mets season was on the line with Verlander toeing the slab. Well
