Honest Review #2.3

Honest Review #2.3: WE AREN’T WINLESS
A win is a win in the NFL. No matter how ugly or pretty they are as long as there is a “1” in the win column that’s all that matters. For fans of the NFL it’s always a good day when your team wins.

I said last week that the Jets showed some hustle throughout the game and fight later in the contest, but they had to clean up some things. I also said that EVERYTHING had to go right for the Jets, and I was right about that. Yes, the Jets played well. From special teams, to offense, to defense they all contributed to this win. Josh McCown went 18/23 for 249 yards and a score. Bilal Powell ran the ball for only 34 yards on 15 carries but jumped into the endzone for the Jets second score. On defense the Jets had 3 total sacks and Terrence Brooks picked off Jay Cutler twice during today’s ballgame. Jamal Adams absolutely played out of his mind with a sack, 2 total tackles, and a few big hits and pass break ups.

It was an all-around great game for the Jets, but it wasn’t without some gifts. The officials did throw a ton of flags in the ballgame today, and definitely favored the Jets with the penalty calls. I’m not going to complain too much because the Jets did win, and they won’t go winless in 2017.


This win also didn’t come without some areas of concern. The penalties are something that have to be addressed on the offense line, the running game needs to be better, there needs to be defined roles in the running game, and the defensive line needs to create more pressure. If we do that, the Jets might win a few more games in 2017, but again a win is a win, and with the number overall selection likely being our ultimate destination (whether the team likes it or not) the Jets won today, and 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...
