Honest Review #16

Honest Review #16-Where was this all year?
Well the season is over, it is bitter sweet, but it is needed. What I mean by that is that the Jets had a rough season and can build off of it. I will get into that more in to detail in my end of season article later in the week, so let’s get into game 16. This was a game to see what we had for the future. Everyone knows that Ryan Fitzpatrick will not be rejoining the Jets next season, so it was an analysis of the rest of the team. And that team that took the field today, was a team that could have beaten at least 10 other teams in the NFL today. Everyone that took the field today, looked like they wanted to be there. Nobody quit on the field today—the whole team fought for 60 minutes. Darrelle Revis had his first interception of the season, Fitzpatrick managed the game well, and Bilal Powell looked like he wanted to take the starting spot from Matt Fortè.

I was extremely proud of the defense that took the field. This is the defense that I expect to see every week as a fan, and the one I remembered from last year that dominated the game. The defense took the ball away 3 times today, which is something that they haven’t done all year. If this game was any inkling of what is to come next season—I am all in. The Jets win games by being the better defense and what I like to call “letting the dawgs loose”. When this team is playing with confidence and a chip on their shoulder on the defensive side of the ball, is when the Jets look like a playoff team. The game 16 that this years’ team is the game that the Jets need to look back at next year and try to emulate each week. I would like congratulate everyone on that defense for just straight ballin’ out today. I loved what I saw from everyone on the defense.

On offense, it wasn’t perfect but it didn’t need to be. The majority of the weapons on offense were injured, and the offense still came to play. Granted this was most likely Fitzpatrick’s last game in the NFL, but nevertheless the offense shined when it had too. Quincy Enunwa finished off an incredible 2016 season with a 5 reception 81-yard day, with the biggest play on offense. Enunwa’s 51-yard reception lead the Jets to their first touchdown of the day, and the team never looked back from there. Bilal Powell finished off a great end of the season with 122 yards rushing and 15 yards receiving with a receiving touchdown. Going into today, Powell was averaging 96 yards per game the last 3 games on the ground and stayed true to form against a struggling Buffalo defense. This is the first season sweep of the Bills in 5 years and it couldn’t have come in a worse season.

For everyone involved this is a building game and season. Decker and Marshall will be healthy next year and the defense will get better. I am happy with the note that we ended the 2016-17 season, and am excited to see what the Jets do in the offseason. It was an up and down season, but it’s now all over, so let’s rejoice that the suffering is over and focus on the offseason. As always Let’s go J-E-T-S JETS JETS 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...
