Well, Geno Smith and the Jets’ one game winning streak has been broken!  Most of us were in suspense regarding the game:  Who would win?

Yeah, right.

Despite the gutting of the Patriots’ offense  by free agency, injuries and (alleged) murder, the Jets suffered from poor performance on both sides of the ball.

I am not a Pats “fan” per se.  I admire their work ethic and the coaching of Belichick, but I simply cannot abide a team that uses cheating tactics to win.  Don’t they have enough film to study?

On the other hand, I am not a Jets’ fan, nor am I a fan of Geno Smith. So when it comes to these two teams, I go with the more mature QB.

That being said, the game was sloppy on both sides.  Dropped passeds turnovers (not the tasty kind) and interceptions made the game a disappointment to watch.  I expect more from Tom Brady, though I understand that he’s working with super-brand new players. But Tom showed his frustration, yelling on the sidelines about his immature receivers.

Either way, the Pats won and Tom Brady didn’t put up many fantasy points.

Let’s take a look at this weekend’s matchups:

Weekend Matchups –

(note…I only comment on the games that will probably be shown in the New York metro area.  Your mileage may vary.)

Chargers at Eagles

The Chargers like to give away games and the Eagles seem like they are on a serious mission.  With the addition of coach Chip Kelly, the Iggles are a team to be reckoned with.  I pick the Eagles.

Saints at Buccaneers

Drew BREES!  As a former New Orleans resident, I like Drew Brees.  As a current New Jersey resident, I do not like former Rutgers coach Greg Schiano.  But I do like former Tampa Buccaneer, Warren Sapp. Hmmmmm.  I pick the Saints.

Redskins at Packers

I am neutral on the strength of both these teams, but I like RGIII much better than Aaron Rodgers.  Despite my affection for the running quarterback, I have to pick the Packers.

49ers at Seahawks

I laughed this morning when the fellas on WFAN reported that someone on the 49ners called the Seahawks, the “Shehawks”.  Juvenile?  Yes.  Fun?  Most definitely.  This will be a hard fought game between two tough teams. I can’t even venture to pick a winner.

The Manning Bowl – Broncos at Giants

What else can be said about this matchup?  I don’t do point spreads and stuff like that, but let it be said that Peyton has won every Manning bowl so far.  In addition, the Giants defense isn’t what it used to be – but the Broncos offense is hot! Either way, it should be a good game to watch.

Let it also be said that the Eli does have two championship rings to Peyton’s one.
