2020 Schedules Will Be Very Tough for Jets and Giants

When there is a football season, if there is a football season in 2020, it figures to be another rough one for the Giants and Jets. Not only are both teams still in the midst of a multi-year rebuild phase, but the both squads are going to see daunting schedules at hand. Granted, we all know that things can change during the course of a long season, but a gander at these schedules isn't pretty.

The Giants open the season at home against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday Night Football. Of course it's anyone's guess if we even have football by Week 1, but if we do the match-up is very intriguing for no other reason then the fact that the Rooney's and Mara's are both related by marriage. Call it a family squabble?

Big Blue will also see the NFC Champion 49ers, Rams and Cowboys within the seasons first five weeks. The oddity of the schedule comes in the middle of the season with Big Blue playing all of its games against the Eagles and Redskins in a period of five weeks.

Meanwhile for the Jets, they have a difficult road this year with the league's second hardest schedule in the NFL based on last season's win percentage. The Jets open the season in Buffalo -- again -- before facing the 49ers in Week 2 at MetLife Stadium.

After a visit to Indianapolis in Week 3, the Jets host the Denver Broncos on Thursday Night Football in Week 4.

The oddity of the schedule? The Jets face the Dolphins in virtually back to back games in Weeks 10 and 12 with only a bye week separating the contests - an oddity that hasn't happened in the NFL since 1991.

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.

Is Aaron Glenn in Danger of Getting Fired?

 According to Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio there is a "chance"   that Jets head coach Aaron Glenn could be fired at seasons end.  While Florio doesn't site any sources, the rumor has caught fire the last two days. The question is would it make sense? Let's examine this for a second?  Why it Makes Sense:  Glenn has not been great in his first year as Head Coach of this team. The talent has taken a major step backwards, granted two of those talented players were traded away in Sauce Gardner to Indianapolis and Quinnen Williams to Dallas.  The decision he and GM Darren Mougey made to give Justin Fields a two year deal proved to be a horrible mistake, and Glenn stuck with Fields for far too long before pulling the plug following the Jets loss to the Patriots on a Thursday night in mid November.  Glenn gave now former Defensive Coordinator Steve Wilks too much power to run the defense, and the players couldn't stand Wilks. Reports indicated this week af...
