Sundays used to be a nice restorative for me. EXCEPT during the NFL season, when I take Sundays off to watch the Jets and Giants games. I have so much to do, so many projects, books and films and television shows, even a railroad, that I have been working seven days a week for longer than I care to remember. The past few years - maybe longer than than, the months and years have been flashing by in a blur and I have lost track - I have pretty much forgotten what a “day off” looks like. We had a rookie who was flashing some great moves at receiver, to be fair, but now he is hurt too. It does not help that half the team seems to be injured, including half the offensive line and most of the top wideouts. The less said about the last two Giants games, the better. Well, at least the Jets did not lose this weekend. Life is… well, mostly wretched, but once every few Sundays they let you win one. Maybe first, if the Lions ever win a game. Right now, looks like the Jets will be picking second in the 2022 draft. Was Flacco the best option, though? They could have signed Cam Newton off the street, no draft choices required. Whether to back up White or to replace him, I am not sure. I see that the Jets just traded for Joe Flacco today. Which did not help much, since the Pats were scoring every time they touched the ball. All in all, he actually looked better than Zack Wilson. 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. Our kid QB looked awful, and then he got hurt. (Though next week could be MUCH harder).Īs for the Jets game, the less said, the letter. Daniel Jones looked good… as a receiver as well as a quarterback… but the win really belongs to the defense. The final score was pretty lop-sided, but only because Big Blue came on hard in the fourth quarter. Maybe the Jets did the right thing letting him walk after all. The Giants won one, at least, defeating the Panthers and Sam Darnold… who got benched before the game was over.
