Giants Season Falling Apart in No Show vs. Ravens

RAVENS 27 - GIANTS 13

Kiss the playoffs goodbye. The Giants will not be participating in the playoffs this season after a complete no-show performance against the Baltimore Ravens, who pounded New York 27-13 -- and it wasn't even that close.

Two long touchdown drives by Lamar Jackson in the opening quarter, pretty much doomed Big Blue's chances. The Ravens opened the game, ramming it down the Giants throat on a 13-play, 82-yard drive that ate 8:12 off the clock before Jackson found Marquise "Hollywood" Brown in the end zone for a six-yard score to make it 7-0.

J.K. Dobbins two-yard plunge with seven seconds remaining in the first quarter, gave Baltimore a 14-0 advantage.

As for the Giants, they spent much of the day stuck in neutral offensively. The only fight the showed, the game was already decided when they were down 27-6 in the fourth quarter. While Daniel Jones' numbers were ok, he was under siege for the entire game, sacked six times for a loss of 52 yards.

Meanwhile, the Giants couldn't get anything going on the ground as they ran for a grand total of 54 yards as team. In case you are wondering Lamar Jackson had 80 yards by himself for the Ravens.

Jackson did whatever he wanted to. Whether it be by air or by ground, Action Jackson was impossible for Big Blue to stop on Sunday.

About the the only way the Giants could even conceive of keeping their playoff hopes alive, is if Washington loses out. Right now they trail Carolina 20-0.

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...
