Jets Serious Contenders for First EVER 0-17 Season

 The New York Jets are 0-5. They are all by themselves the worst team in the NFL after a 37-22 drubbing at the hands of the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday afternoon.

 The New Orleans Saints and Tennessee Titans, both of whom were also winless heading into Week 5, won their games on Sunday. The Saints stunned the Giants 26-14, an inexplicably bad loss for Big Blue. The Titans grabs victory from the Cardinals out in the desert. 

So only the Jets are 0-5. They can't tackle. They can't pressure the opposing quarterback. They are the first team ever in NFL history to start a season 0-5 and not force a single turnover. Their offense is miserable. Breece Hall, despite rushing for 113 yards, fumbled on a play that killed any hope the Jets had early in this contest. 


 

Justin Fields was dreck. Yes, his stats look good, but it was garbage time. Maybe the Jets should bench him? 

Either way Head Coach Aaron Glenn has now done something neither Rich Kotite nor Adam Gase ever did in their first seasons, and that is start his first season at the helm of this moribund franchise at 0-5. 

Glenn preaches patience. He preaches accountability. He references the 1989 Dallas Cowboys under Jimmy Johnson who went 1-15. He can reference the 2021 Detroit Lions who were 0-10-1 to open their season before turning that franchise around. The problem is those teams had structure. This Jets team does not. 

And if things don't get better, Aaron Glenn will be looking for a D.C. job again much quicker than expected.

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.
