Title: Not Very Hot Take
Post by: Painter on October 30, 2023, 09:38:31 AM
As suggested by Bleacher Report (B/R)

Only the Jets and Giants are capable of playing the terrible/hilarious game they played yesterday.
To (try to) sum up the 13-10 win for the Jets:

➤ There were more punts (24) than points (23). The 24 punts were most since 2003.
➤ There were 15 punts and 0 third-down conversions in the first half
➤ The Giants had -9 pass yards, least since 2000
The over/under was only 35 points. It cleared by 12 ... with overtime.

Ugh! Ugh! Ugly!

This was one of the least enjoyable games I can remember.  In fairness, the lousy weather didn't help, but even accounting for the weather, it was just an objectively bad game to watch.

Calling the game "ugly" is an understatement. I hate to cringe during a football game, but I did a lot of that yesterday. Even Ironman Gano was off  :-?? Of course, we're playing with our 3rd string QB in the pouring rain and slippery ball, and our kicker is playing while injured (so I give Gano some slack here), and the OL is put together with a lottery ball tumbler, etc.

There were a few bright spots...Dex is continuing to show the world he's unstoppable and deserves every penny he's paid...Thibs looked good with 3 sacks...Okereke and McFadden appear to be a staple at the ILB position for the next few seasons (finally)...and I thought Flott seems to be stepping up in his second year

But all in all  :sick:

It was one of the worst if not THE worst game I have witnessed in recent years.

Not since Randy Dean ran the option was it as bad as yesterday!

Peace!
