The Vibe of Tommy DeVito Roars On After 24-22 Win over Green Bay

 The Tommy DeVito story is becoming one of the best stories of the NFL season. Heck it might even be the best New Jersey story we have seen in a long, long time.

On the field, DeVito -- the kid from Cedar Grove, New Jersey, lead the Giants to an improbable 24-22 victory, spearheaded by a 57-yard drive in the final 1:50 of the contest to position the G-Men for Randy Bullock's game winning field goal. But it was more than that. DeVito has brought pizzazz and excitement to the Giants that had been lacking before.


A season once considered dead in the water is now interesting. If the Giants win out and get some help, and I mean A LOT of help, they could sneak into the playoffs.

And a major part of this turnaround is attributed to the Jersey kid who brings a lot of moxie and swag with him.

SCORING DRIVES:

DeVito was remarkable in the clutch.

With the G-Men trailing Green Bay 10-7 in the third quarter, DeVito scrambled for a 26-yard gain to the Green bay one-yard line, setting up Saquon Barkley with the go-ahead score.

Later, DeVito hit Wandell Robinson on a 25-yard flea flicker, which set up DeVito's touchdown pass to Isiah Hodgins to make it 21-13.



THE VIBE: 

Not only is the on-field performance outstanding, but off the field the story has taken a life of its own.

As most know by now DeVito is living with his parents. His folks have become regulars at his games since taking over as Giants starting quarterback, and naturally, the DeVito family have become cultural icons.

Before the game, his parents and extended family were out in the parking lot cooking up chicken cutlet sandwiches, penne vodka and sausage and peppers. (Damn, ya hungry yet? ) 

Inside, his agent Sean Stellato -- who not only looks like DeVito's older brother, but was dressed in a 1940's mafia movie inspired pinstripe suite became all the rage. There he was on the sideline with DeVito. Then he was in the stands with the family. 



It was a sight to behold, an experience like none other. 

The DeVito vibe reality show has taken the Giants by storm, and you gotta love every minute.

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...
