Zach Wilson's Poor Play has Robert Saleh Running Routes to Protect Him

 A year ago when Zach Wilson was coming off a horrible effort against the New England Patriots, in a game the Jets lost 10-3, he was asked whether he felt responsible for the loss. He pleaded the fifth, saying emphatically "no."

That moment was enough to get Wilson benched and lead us down the road of Mike White mania, which started and stumbled to a 7-10 finish. The Jets then decided that Wilson still wasn't good enough to be the starter, so they made a full court press to acquire Aaron Rodgers, which they did. 


 Now that Rodgers is out for the year, barring a miraculous medical comeback, the Jets have found a way to keep themselves in the playoff mix, but Wilson and this Jets offense continues to stink it up. 

It all came to a head on Monday night when the Jets managed only six points in a 27-6 sleepwalk against the LA Chargers at MetLife Stadium. The Jets went from potential playoff darling to starring into the abyss of another lost year. 

When challenged by the media as to why the Jets won't make a quarterback change now, head coach Robert Saleh is now pleading the fifth. He said the team has no intention of playing Tim Boyle or Trevor Siemien, and went out of his way to say the front office isn't holding his feet to the fire to play Zach Wilson. 

IF that is true, than what gives? 

If Aaron Rodgers is indeed coming back, than the Jets need to be prepared to make a move at quarterback and bench Wilson. This is not to say that Tim Boyle is going to light up the Raiders if he comes in on Sunday, but at least let's see if he can move this offense. 

Sure there is plenty of blame to go around. The offensive line is a mess. Nobody can catch or hold onto the football. C.J. Uzomah, we are looking at you, bud. 

The play calling by Nathainel Hacket has been both conservative, and lacks any razzle dazzle. In fact he refuses to get others involved much at all, especially speedsters like Michael Carter, Dalvin Cook and Isreal Abinakanda. 

It's terrible. The Jets are 4-4. This is a huge game in Las Vegas. People like myself are flying out to Vegas to see this thing.  If the Jets are going to beat the Raiders, they need more than their defense to bail them out as has been the case all year. 

Wake up Robert, be prepared to make the change happen to save this team and this season.

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.
