Well, today was my name day, and my birthday gift from the Giants and Jets were two more losses.<\/p>\n
Pretty depressing.<\/p>\n
In many ways, a replay of last week.\u00a0\u00a0 The Jets were terrible, just awful.\u00a0 Awful offense, awful defense.\u00a0\u00a0 The 49ers scored a Td on the first play of the game with an 80 yard run from scrimmage.\u00a0\u00a0 That never would happened if Jamal Adams was still in green and white.\u00a0\u00a0 Every game, every play, letting Adams go looks worse and worse.\u00a0\u00a0 Sure, sure, you can say maybe the Jets will pick up some future Hall of Famers with those draft choices.\u00a0\u00a0 Maybe, perhaps, mayhaps.\u00a0 But it won’t happen.\u00a0\u00a0 Adams, however, is a sure bet to go into Canton if he keeps playing at this level the rest of his career.\u00a0 Sadly, he won’t go in as a Jet.\u00a0 Oh, and letting Robby Anderson go is looking pretty bad as well.\u00a0 Darnold has no one to throw to.\u00a0\u00a0 If they keep playing at this level, Gang Green will be competing for the #1 overall pick in the 2021 draft.<\/p>\n
The Giants lost too, of course.\u00a0\u00a0 But just like last week, it was a much better loss… if any loss can be considered good.\u00a0\u00a0 Danny Jones committed too many turnovers, and of course the loss of Saquon to injury was devastating.\u00a0 For the game, the season, and maybe for Big Blue’s future.\u00a0\u00a0 He was and is the best player on the team.\u00a0\u00a0 That being said, despite the turnover and the injury, the Giants hung tough and were in the game right up to the final play.\u00a0\u00a0 One more completion from Jones, on the last play of the game on the Bears goal line, and we’re talking about a come-from-behind victory instead of a second loss.\u00a0\u00a0 But… sigh… it did not happen.\u00a0\u00a0 So both the New York teams are 0-2.<\/p>\n
Oh, and the fake crowd noise continues to be annoying.\u00a0\u00a0 Especially when the guy in the booth dialed up a chorus of BOOs from the “home town” crowd in Chicago on a penalty that went New York’s way.\u00a0\u00a0 Come on, NFL.\u00a0\u00a0 That is so stupid.\u00a0 What’s next, a laugh track?<\/p>\n
Anyway… life is meaningless and full of pain. \u00a0 At least where football is concerned.<\/p>\n
(Yes, that’s a lot of other misery going on outside the stadiums, but I will save that for another post).<\/p>\n
