Giants Dominate Cowboys As Expected

GIANTS 35
COWBOYS 14

We know that the Giants are good, but the story of the day, after New York's dominating 35-14 victory of the Dallas Cowboys, is whether this is the beginning of the end for Dallas. Could the 'Boys be headed for Raider like futility? Well, when your owner demands that one of the world's most pathetic athletes, Brooks Bollinger , should be at quarterback, you know the Cowboys are falling apart.

Once Bollinger entered the game, the Giants had a party. The Giants harassed Bollinger all night, sacking the puny quarterback around like a Raggedy Ann doll. Bollinger was somewhat better than Brad Johnson, statistically, but the fact remains that Dallas would have had a better chance to win if Johnson had remained in the game.

On Bollinger's first pass, it was picked off by James Butler, setting up the Giants at the Cowboys 18 yard line. Brandon Jacobs proceeded to take it for the score to give New York a 28-7 lead.

Eli Manning was sharp. He completed 16 of 27 passes for 147 yards with three touchdowns and one interception. All three of Manning's touchdowns came in the first half. He hit Kevin Boss from 13 yards out for the 7-0 lead. Later, he hit Steve Smith for a five yard score. Finally, in the second quater, Manning drilled the ball between two Dallas defenders to Amani Toomer for the touchdown.

The Giants are sitting pretty at 7-1, well ahead of everyone in the NFC. The Giants are well on their way to clinching home field through the playoffs, a stark change from last year, where New York spent the entire post-season on the road.

As for Dallas, one has to wonder if Jerry Jones will drop the axe on Head Coach Wade Phillips. According to the FOX broadcast, Jones was in the Cowboy locker room at halftime ... that's not a good sign. By the time you read this blog, Phillips could be finished. Maybe he should take Bollinger with him! Just a thought.

Jets, Dolphins and Patriots Playoff Breakdown

Here are the formuli that could get the Jets into and out of the playoff party this season: 1) If the Jets win against Seattle and Miami, they win the AFC East based on a better conference record (8-4) than the New England Patriots, even if New England wins out as well. 2) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins win out and finish at 11-5, the Jets would be 10-6, or 9-7, and probably out of the playoffs. Both New England and Miami would make the playoffs, with the Dolphins as a divison winner and the Patriots as a wild card. The Patriots make the postseason if Baltimore loses one of its final two games. 3) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins and Jets split, then the Patriots win the AFC East. The Jets will have to hope that they beat Miami to win that tie-breaker and, further, hope that they have a better conference record than the Baltimore Ravens in order to clinch the sixth seed. 4) If the Patriots and Ravens win out and the Dolphins and Jets split their final two games, then ...

Francisco Lindor Remains Red Hot as Mets Top Phillies

 Francisco Lindor remains the hottest player in Queens right now.  The Mets shortstop blasted two more home runs, including a three-run blast in the bottom of the eighth inning, Monday night to help propel the Mets to a 5-4 win over Philadelphia.   Lindor who typically struggles in the month of April is putting together a heck of a month. Monday's two hit effort was the 10th game in the last 11 where Lindor has recorded a hit. In fact in the month of April alone this year, Lindor was hitting at .311 coming into Monday's action.  On the year, Lindor is batting .284 with five homers and 13 RBI.  Lindor's efforts proved to be prophetic, as the Phillies Alec Bohm crushed a three-run bomb off Edwin Diaz in the top of the ninth to cut the Mets lead to a single run. Fortunately for New York, Diaz was able to shut the door with strikeouts of Trea Turner and Bryce Harper.  New York (16-7) has now won five in a row.

Mets Keep Rolling into Phillies Series

 The New York Mets are feeling pretty good about things right now!  The Amazin's swept a four game series from the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday, winning 7-4 Sunday afternoon. It was the first time since 1986 that the Amazin's had swept such a series from St. Louis. We all know what happened later that season.    Well, not to get too far ahead of ourselves, because the 2025 version now faces a very stiff challenge. The Mets will face their arch rivals the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday with only two games separating the two teams in the NL East.  The Mets took out Philly in the NLDS last October, so this figures to be a heck of showdown. The Mets begin a month long stretch against teams that are likely postseason contenders like the Phillies, D-Backs, Cubs, Yankees, Red Sox, and Dodgers.  If the Mets (15-7) are this good, we will know for sure in a month.
