Hate SNF and MNF games with work the next day. Even more so SNF with the weekend ending and your winding down. TNF isn’t as bad to me because its leading into Friday.

I do not wish anyone to lose their jobs especially at this time but I am satisfied to see the Daily News cut Mehta, something which should have been done the moment he put out one story without properly attributing the person doing all the actual groundwork for him.

I wouldn't mind ESPN dropping or reassigning Cimini, who seems to actively hate the team.

Haha. That was always the thing with him. He's clearly disgruntled and pessimistic, which makes him look like one of us, but even when the Jets would do something undeniably good (the two or three occasions ever) he would throw barbs into the story or thinly-veiled shots out of nowhere. He just came across as an aloof dick.
Carp used to be the same way on the Rangers beat. He wasn't necessarily negative about the team but very condescending to people in the comments. He's gotten a lot better since going to The Athletic. That's probably a better platform for Cimini than ESPN anyway.

The Jets need fresh blood on the beat for sure. All these dudes have been there forever. I have no sympathy for them getting all bitchy tho. You cover the team. Great. I watch them. For free.
the last 7 years of so have been awful. But if you’ve covered the Jets for 20 years, the 98-12 run was good. Yes it’s terrible now. But this isn’t the worst 20 year run in the world type shit Cimini goes off on.

Outside of Vince the majority of Rangers/Jets beat reporters are awful.

I thought of all the sports reporters in NY Isola was most the most contentious with the Knicks. Dolan has some odd media policies a d Isola is not the type to bite his tongue.

Pats are the team that worries me. A divisional game, Cam is meh, and they might not be playing for anything. I could also see the Jets coming out like it’s their super bowl trying to avoid 0-16.
I won’t say that I have the utmost confidence in Baker but I’m more concerned about erratic Cam having a stinker.
One dark horse is CoVid. A QB going down to the protocol could change things a lot.
Belichick doesn't want to lose to the Jets and he doesn't want to have a losing record. Cam wants to get a contract next season and Stidham wants to be the starter. The players still have a lot to play for. The Jets aren't going to be facing Curtis Painter.

No, but how good is Stidham? If they are out of it then they might give the young guy a try. Look, I’d still call the Pats a favorite, but I think the Jets could realistically win.
Jets would conceivably be playing hard to avoid humiliation. Pats could be playing knowing they failed in a playoff bid.

I might be getting a little ahead of myself, but it seems like the Giants are a CB and an edge pass rusher away from being a very good defense...
Edge Rusher, one more LB (which they might have when Carter comes back next year as he was showing promise this year), and yes one more CB. But the CB might be taken care of if Mckinney can be as good as he is hyped up to be, they re-sign Ryan and move him over to CB. Holmes as been decent. Yiadom meh. Love has been sorta all over. Sucks Beal opted out. They have options.
Bottom line is a one legit edge rusher and they can be dominant imo

Our pass rush without a legitimate pass rusher is impressive. Graham has been incredible.

An Edge Rusher is absolutely needed. On offensive Jones needs a true Number 1 Receiver. A guy he can throw the ball up to and he can go up and get it.

There's no chance in hell the Jets make it a game tomorrow...right?
Good, I thought so and that there was nothing to worry about.
There is something tho a bit concerning about the Seahawks as they really haven't played well in a few weeks and that gives me a little bit of pause that it's going to be a blowout. I was originally thinking 45-17 something along those lines.
Now I'm thinking Jets could keep it within the 13 point spread. My revised feeling is Seattle 31...Jets 20. We shalt see soon enough

If the Jets were really trying to tank they would make the playoffs...
This is actual footage of Gase trying to get his feet under him as Jets HC:
Some people smarter than me have made the point that the Pats rarely ever had an edge rusher and it's pressure up the middle that's more important for this type of D.
