Adam Gase Likely to be Fired After Week 17

 In what is quickly turning into a game of 'who wants to be first,' multiple platforms are running with the story that Jets Head Coach Adam Gase has either A) been told he is being fired or B) will be fired after Sunday's season Finale in New England. 

First a website called "uStadium" issued an unsourced claim on Monday that Gase will be fired after the Patriots game. Then on WFAN, on Tuesday afternoon, shock-jock host Craig Carton claimed he had sources who say that Gase has been told by Christopher Johnson that he will not be back as head coach. 

 

Neither Carton, nor uStadium cited their sources.

 To date, not a single Jets beat reporter has officially reported anything of the like or contrary to those rumors. 

There has also been silence from the likes of reputable sources like Jay Glazer or Ian Rappaport. No one, outside of Carton and uStadium has issued a similar report as of this minute, 3:38 p.m. on a Tuesday, December 29, that Gase has indeed been fired. 

We did come close to getting such a report on Saturday, when CBS Sports reporter Jason LaConfora tweeted out that Gase could have been fired after the Cleveland Browns game had the Jets lost. They didn't.

 Either way it sounds very likely that Gase is coaching his final game as HC of the NYJ after two horrible seasons at the helm of the franchise. The Jets are 9-22 under Gase in his two years, but his inability to develop quarterback Sam Darnold; his inability to work well with the Jets star players like Jamal Adams and LeVeon Bell, and his inability to put together and manage a competent game plan were just a few of the many short comings that Gase had in his hideous tenure. 

The facts are the Johnson brothers owe the fanbase a huge apology. They wasted two years of everyone's time with a coach who was clearly in over his head despite the fact Chris Johnson called Gase a "brilliant mind." 

It was Johnson's lack of brilliance that got the Jets stuck with Gase in the first place. He had Mike McCarthy, Matt Rhule and Kliff Kingsbury all at his fingertips as potential candidates and passed on each one of them in favor of Gase. In fact the reason Rhule and/or McCarthy didn't get the job, is because they wanted say in personnel, something Johnson and then GM Mike Maccagnan were not willing to give up. 

Instead, Johnson hired Gase, allowed Maccagnan to sign free agents and run his 2019 draft, before promptly firing him thanks in big part to Gase's urging. If anyone is looking like a huge clown this week, and all season it is defiantly Chris Johnson and his brother Woody, the embattled Ambassador to the United Kingdom. 

This is the mess they created. Now they got to stew in it. Who in their right mind is going to trust them to get it right this time?

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.
