Well, this Sunday was somewhat better.<\/p>\n
The Giants won one, at least, defeating the Panthers and Sam Darnold… who got benched before the game was over.\u00a0 Maybe the Jets did the right thing letting him walk after all.\u00a0\u00a0 The final score was pretty lop-sided, but only because Big Blue came on hard in the fourth quarter.\u00a0\u00a0 For most of the game it was 5-3.\u00a0\u00a0 Yes, really.\u00a0\u00a0 Daniel Jones looked good… as a receiver as well as a quarterback… but the win really belongs to the defense.\u00a0\u00a0 Let’s hope they can do it again.\u00a0 (Though next week could be MUCH harder).<\/p>\n
As for the Jets game, the less said, the letter.\u00a0\u00a0 Not a defeat, a humiliation.\u00a0\u00a0 Our kid QB looked awful, and then he got hurt.\u00a0\u00a0 Now he’s out two to four weeks.\u00a0\u00a0 Mike White, the guy who came off the bench, had never played in a regular season game before, but he threw a touchdown with his first pass.\u00a0\u00a0 All in all, he actually looked better than Zack Wilson.\u00a0\u00a0 Which did not help much, since the Pats were scoring every time they touched the ball.\u00a0\u00a0 I see that the Jets just traded for Joe Flacco today.\u00a0\u00a0 Whether to back up White or to replace him, I am not sure.\u00a0\u00a0 Was Flacco the best option, though?\u00a0\u00a0 They could have signed Cam Newton off the street, no draft choices required.<\/p>\n
Guess we will find out.<\/p>\n
Right now, looks like the Jets will be picking second in the 2022 draft.\u00a0\u00a0 Maybe first, if the Lions ever win a game.<\/p>\n
Life is… well, mostly wretched, but once every few Sundays they let you win one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
