Jets Disgrace Themselves Again Against Banged Up Niners

 49ers 31 - JETS 13 

Leave it to the Jets to find a way to not only lose, but get destroyed by a football team that suffered five critical injuries in the process as the 49ers dismantled the helpless Jets 31-13. 

 

Just days after Jets CEO praised head coach Adam Gase, calling the embattled coach "Brilliant," one has to wonder what the Jets front office is thinking now. 

The Jets were noncompetitive, and played unmotivated over the course of 60 minutes. It was really a game between the 49ers and the MetLife Stadium turf, with the Jets just there to keep things interesting. 

Raheem Mosert's 80-yard touchdown less than 30 seconds into the ball game punctuated what was a horrible day for the Jets as the Niners took the early 7-0 lead. They never looked back. 

Before leaving the game with a high ankle sprain, Jimmy Garopollo torched the Jets defense, completing 14-of-16 passes and 131 yards, including leading two scoring drives with a pair of touchdown passes to Jordan Reed as the Niners built a 21-3 advantage into the half. 

And think about it folks, the Niners lost Garopolo, defensive end Nick Bosa, defensive tackle Solomon Thomas, Mosart and Tevin Coleman in this game, and still held the Jets to two field goals before New York scored a garbage time touchdown late in the fourth quarter. That is how bad the Jets are, and how good the Niners depth and coaching is. 

Bosa, by the way, could be out for the season with an ACL tear in his knee for San Francisco. 

As for the Jets, their offense was putrid yet again. Sam Darnold looked totally lost yet again, completing 21 of 32 for 179 yards. For the better part of the afternoon he was throwing into the teeth of the Niners battered front seven, and looked completely uncomfortable in the pocket. It is almost like Darnold has gone backwards in time and returned to playing like a rookie. 

Head Coach Adam Gase clearly has no answer for his third year quarterback, and the front office did next to nothing to get him a supporting cast. When your so-called franchise quarterback is throwing to the likes of Braxton Berrios, Chris Hogan and Josh Malone, it's not a good thing. 

At 0-2 the Jets look like a team that is defiantly on its way to becoming the NFL's worst team. Put them on the clock right now for the number 1 pick in the 2021 draft, this sorry excuse for a football team is not ready for primetime.

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.
