Jets Drop to Woe and Five with Loss to Cardinals

 CARDINALS 30 - JETS 10 

What's there left to say about the New York Jets at this point? 

The Arizona Cardinals walked into MetLife Stadium and put a severe whooping on a Sam Darnold-less Jets team that couldn't do anything right. How does punting on fourth and one twice within the first five minutes of the game sound to you? 

Or how about the fact the Jets faced a third and short and fourth and short at the Cardinals' 13-yard line and couldn't get a first down, and couldn't score as Arizona held an early 7-0 lead. 

Joe Flacco? Even he had no answers. How could he when every big throw he attempted his recievers like Chris Herndon and Jeff Smith were dropping passes like it was going out of style. The only positive was Jamison Crowder, who hauled in eight balls for 116 yards, including a 52-yard reception in the third quarter, and a touchdown that really wasn't to cap off that drive. 

In short it was just another embarassing defeat. 30-10. It wasn't even close. 

Kyler Murray did exactly whatever he wanted to do, throwing for 380 yards and a touchdown, and running for 31-yards and a score. He had himself a fantasy day. Who doesn't nowadays against the Jets?

Yet, here the Jets stand at 0-5, a team with no life, no presence, no fight. They look and play like a group that had given up the ghost long ago and is playing out the string -- in October. 

If that isn't enough grounds for firing head coach Adam Gase, who knows what will be? 

The Atlanta Falcons fired Dan Quinn, Sunday following the Falcons 23-16 loss to the Carolina Panthers. He is the second head coach fired within the week, following Houston's Bill O'Brien. Yet, Gase doesn't even come close in resume to those two, and his team loses by 20 to an 'ok' Cardinals team, and still keeps his job. Makes no sense, but these are the Jets for a reason. 

Schedule Changes: 

Due to the League-wide COVID-19 outbreak, the NFL has had to rejigger its schedule and it affects the Jets. New York was schedule to play at the LA Chargers in Week 6, but will now face the Miami Dolphins instead. The Chargers game will be moved to Week 11. The Jets bye week moves up from Week 11 to Week 10. The reason for this is related to the fact the Patriots-Broncos game, scheduled for Monday, was postponed til next Sunday. The Broncos  were scheduled to play the Dolphins next Sunday, but now that they will face the Patriots instead, it created an opening for Miami, and their matchup against the Jets was moved. It makes sense since both the Jets and Dolphins were originally scheduled to play each other in consecutive weeks in late November.

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.
