Rams Embarrass Giants as Jones Tosses 3 INTs in Return

 RAMS 38 - GIANTS 11 

It was a contrast of two different franchises in two completely different directions. 


The New York Giants  (1-5) were totally outclassed by the Los Angeles Rams (5-1), who rolled over the Giants 38-11 in a game that was over by the half. 

Daniel Jones, who made his return to Big Blue after suffering a concussion last week in Dallas was putrid, tossing three interceptions, and getting sacked four times. Jones was even stripped twice, losing one fumble. 

For an organization that honored the 2011 Giants' team that won the Super Bowl that year against New England, Sunday's smackdown at the hands of the Rams was a harsh reminder of how far the Giants have fallen. 

With the defeat, Big Blue is a league worst 19-51 since 2017. The only reason they are alone in that category is because the Jets had a bye week. 

On the flip side, the Rams looked like a juggernaut.  Matthew Stafford was pinpoint accurate, completing 22 of 29 passes for 251 yards and four touchdowns. Three of those four scores came in the second quarter, including a 25-yard bomb to Darrell Henderson Jr. that made it 28-3. 

Things were so bad for Big Blue that fans were leaving in droves at the half. 

One has to wonder how much worse it could get for the Giants. Change is definitely on the horizon again for this franchise. Fans have been calling for the job of David Gettleman for years; another abysmal season, and Gettlman could be joined by head coach Joe Judge on the proverbial hot seat. It doesn't help matters that the Giants put up two stinkers while honoring its past. Three ago they blew a game to Atlanta on the day Eli Manning had his number retired.

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.
