Bills Bringing Back Red Helmets vs. Jets

 The Buffalo Bills are the latest in a long line of teams that are going to throw it back to (depending on your preference) better threads when the bring back their classic red helmets for the final home game at Orchard Park in Week 18.

The Bills haven't had a red helmet since the 2010 season when they ditched their millennium-navy uniforms for their current royal-blue and white uniforms that they have worn ever since. While the charging Bill logo remains the same, Buffalo has donned a white helmet since 2011. 

That all changes a bit in Week 18 against the New York Jets. 

The Bills will wear the red helmet with their current blue home jersey, which in my humble opinion is great, because the 90s Bills jerseys looked too much like the New York Giants jersey's during that era. 


Other teams that have joined the list of throwing it back of late include:

 The Bucs who brought back their road-white creamsicle uniforms this year. They re-introduced their home-orange creamsicle's last year. Ironically, the Jets will also face the Bucs when they are wearing their white Bucco-Bruce uniforms in Week 3. 

The Commanders have brought back the Redskins classic uniform just minus the Native American on the side of the helmet to be worn a few times this year. There is now a huge push by President Trump to have the Redskins name and likeness reinstated. Stay tuned on this. 

The Chargers brought back their 90s navy helmets and uniforms, although they added the silly numbers to the side of the helmet this time. 

A year ago, the Falcons brought back their 70s inspired red helmets; the Jaguars brought back their classic, original uniforms from the 90s; the Jets brought back their classic road white uniforms last season for a game against Buffalo in Week 6. The Patriots brought back their white Pat the Patriot helmet and red uniforms last season for a couple games. The Giants brought back their classic 80s/90s look a couple seasons ago, and the Titans have worn their Houston/Tennessee Oilers uniforms a couple of times in each of the last two seasons.

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.
