They are going to stink anyways, I’m fine waiting until he’s a 100%, honestly thought he was done for the season when it happened, so still a positive.
Coach on radio interview says he may play this week - depends how he feels when he wakes up. Today he announces Wilson out until week 4. He obviously knew that at the time but forwhatever reason didn't want to announce it. Coaches are not honest and will not tell you the truth in an interview or a press conference. I don't necessarily blame them but listening to these is a complete waste of time IMO.

Brown getting his shoulder evaluated, even for the Jets, it’s hilarious how quick the season is going down the drain.

Well done to Joe Douglas not having any real plan at tackle this season.

Yeah, I've said this before in here, some of his choices to ignore whole position groups have been absolutely baffling. "Let's have no edge rushers." "Let's not sign any corners that have played in the NFL!" "Let's not have an actual backup QB." "Let's only have two tackles!" It's f***ing weird and we get burned every time.

Was it also under Douglas were every week we had a dude catch a pass that literally no one even knew was on the team? Like some motherf***er named John Stevens was catching a pass, and then next week it was Steven Johns, and I was pretty sure they were actually the same guy.

Thought the Jets had 2-3 solid backup QBs. They are backups not starters.

I was talking about, I think it was last year, when they chose NOT to re-sign Flacco, instead going with Mike White who had never played a snap, and later Josh Johnson, who hadn't played for a few years and was never even a good backup. And then they ended up trading for Joe Flacco anyway. It was just another instance where they intentionally left one position group really thin and got burned.

The last game of the year last season someone named Tarik Black had a catch, that can’t be a real person, and yet his one catch was more than Mims had in the game.

I think a lot of teams have to pick a spot to be thin at especially if they have injuries. Giants are thin at center, linebacker and cb.

Thank god we rostered 37 defensive lineman instead of more than two legitimate tackles, one of whom has been chronically injured.

Football is back!!!!!!………..sigh…..Football is back.

I expect absolutely nothing from The Giants this year. Just show me there’s a structure being built, because if you draft a QB without having it in place you’re going to flush that kids career down the toilet and waste years on them. I think Jones is too damaged at this point. Luckily that war criminal Dave Gettleman isn’t here anymore.

At least it’s a good year to pay attention to the college QB’s. Last nights Kentucky vs Florida game was really good. I really like Will Levis, I think he’s gonna be a stud. Anthony Richardson has the size and a lot of raw ability and potential, but I think he needs another year and could possibly come out too soon.

Jets fans have to be frustrated with Wilson’s injury.

Another season where the over/under for combined wins for the Jets & Giants is hovering around 10. The annual question, as always, is does either team win a game before the calendar turns to October.

4-5 wins for the Jets, and most probably come at the end, I can’t believe I’m watching 90 year old Flacco the first 3 weeks of the season.

At least both baseball teams will be in the playoffs, and the Rangers go to camp soon.

Being a Fins fan up here sucks. Time to fight crackstreams all afternoon cause I don’t want direct tv. Red zone is always 5 minutes ahead of streams.

Flacco is the slowest qb in the league. His mobility is pure garbage. I don't care how good your arm is when you can't create much time especially with a banged up O line
