Mahomes and Chiefs Steamroll Over Jets

 CHIEFS 35 - JETS 9 

Well those of you worried about betting on a 19.5 point spread, have no fear the Jets would not disappoint.  As expected the Jets were annihilated by the Kansas City Chiefs, Sunday to the tune of 35-9 as Patrick Mahomes tossed five touchdowns in the Chiefs victory. 

Mahomes was an unstoppable machine against the Jets pathetic defense. He completed 31 of 42 passes for 416 yards and even gave a piggyback ride to Tyreek Hill after the lanky wide receiver hauled in a 41-yard touchdown pass to give the Chiefs a 35-9 lead with 10:58 to go in the game. 

In short, the Chiefs toyed with the Jets. So much so that the Chiefs had three touchdowns in the bank and were losing the time of possession battle at halftime. That's pretty dominant don't you say? You bet. 

As for the Jets, it was more of the same offensively. Sam Darnold was a man on an island, fighting an uphill battle with nobody around him. He played well, at least in the first half, but the Jets couldn't get past the Chiefs 30-yard line all day, and had to settle for three Sergio Castillo field goals. 

At least Castillo looked good kicking the football until one was blocked before the half. Oh well. 

The Jets now stand at 0-8, starring at a still uncertain future. Next week New York faces the Patriots (2-5) who are in the midst of their worst start since the 2000 season, i.e. before Brady. It would be ironic if the Jets get their first win against them, but don't expect it. The 0-8 start is the first time the Jets have started a season that bad since 1996. The Jets would win their ninth game of the year that season in Arizona. This is a little different this time around. 

In his postgame press conference with reporters, Head Coach Adam Gase said that he "does this to win. Not to get my faced stomped on." Ouch, well I guess that's a good way to put it. 

Guess 0-16 it is. 

By the way, the Jets also completed a trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers, sending lineback Avery Williamson and a 2022 seventh round pick to the Steelers for a 2022 fifth rounder.

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 ...

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...

Same Ol' Jets! Gang Green Dropped by Ravens

 RAVENS 24 - JETS 9  In short the opener to the 2022 season for the New York Jets was a complete and utter disaster.  A team that came into the season with the promise of better days ahead, a team that had taken on so many kudos in the off-season for what so many in the media had claimed was an impeccable off-season and draft, came out flat as a pancake when it mattered the most.  If this was a debut of what is to come for the Jets in 2022, you better start preparing your 2023 draft boards.  Sunday's 24-9 loss wasn't just a defeat at the hands of a better team, it was a total indictment of the Jets current predicament.  The Jets offensive line, which has been battered and beaten this summer with the losses of Meckhi Becton and Duane Brown looked like a sieve on Sunday. Joe Flacco, who is not exactly fleet of foot, was under siege all afternoon. The fact he came out of Sunday's game having been sacked only three times was a miracle in itself.  George Fa...
