Rex Ryan Mouths Off Day After Jets Controversial Win


Rex Ryan always finds a way to stick his foot into his own mouth.

A day after the Jets were awarded a 29-15 victory by the Indianapolis Colts, the Jets coach tried to sell to the media that the Jets earned the victory.

"We won the game," Ryan said. "We ended up doing what we had to do, whoever was in the Colts' jerseys. I think that there's very little credit that our football team's given, and that's unfortunate."

Ryan feels that his team was not awarded the game, that they worked very hard to beat a team that basically gave up on the game. Ryan, like a lot of Jet fans, are giving crediblity to the idea that because the Jets were close, the team would have still found a way to win the game, even if Peyton Manning had played all 60 minutes.

Ryan went on to say that the Jets victories over Tampa Bay and Carolina were equally impressive because both the Bucs and Panthers have played better lately. However, Ryan fails to realize that the Panthers benched Jake Delhomme, who threw four interceptions against the Jets, and have been winning with Matt Moore at quarterback.

Ryan's excuses are idiotic. He and any Jet fan is crazy to believe that the Jets would have still won the game with Peyton Manning in the contest. Manning shredded the Jets D early in the third quarter, leading the Colts back from a 10-9 deficit to take a 15-10 lead before being removed. Manning would have ripped the Jets apart if he had stayed in.

As for the Jets offense, they could only muster three points against the Colts first string defense; they didn't roll up 200 yards on the ground until the Colts raised a white flag in the third quarter.

The game was an embarrassment to the NFL and the Colts. The Jets received a gift, they should be 7-8, and have no business justifying a game that they did not earn in victory.

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.
