Is Bills MVP Josh Allen ‘Overrated’? QB Reacts
SEPT 22 OVERRATED? The 1-1 Jets will be watching the 2-0 Buffalo Bills this weekend hoping the Jags on Monday can take 'em down. If Buffalo wins (again)?
Josh Allen - who insists that he doesn't care about MVP awards as he eyes a Super Bowl - will as always be the determining factor.
"I could give two you-know-whats about winning the MVP. The only thing I care about is raising a Lombardi Trophy," Allen said.
We do know, though, that he does "care'' about being called 'overrated.''
"I loved it,'' he said of a survey that put him in that frame. "I viewed it as a term of endearment or respect."
SEPT 20 ANNOYING? If you are a fan of the New York Jets - especially today, following their Thursday night win over the Pats - there is nothing about Aaron Rodgers that you find to be "annoying.''
But survey says ... others see it differently.
Who's the most annoying player in the NFL? A pair of Chiefs make the list. That would be Patrick Mahomes (the audience has tired of his success?) and Travis Kelce (Swiftie Burnout?).
But in a recent fan survey by The Action Network, the big "winner'' is Rodgers, the four-time MVP who some find to be "controversial,'' but who right now, in New York, is anything but "annoying.''
SEPT 20 WHY, ADAMS? Chances are, Las Vegas Raiders star wide receiver Davante Adams' Twitter post on Thursday night while his old buddy Aaron Rodgers was playing on national TV, leading the Jets to an easy win over the Patriots in innocuous.
At the same, the six-time Pro Bowler Adams knows exactly what he's doing. Cryptic. Cute. Whatever.
Amid rumors that the 31-year-old Adams is unhappy with the Raiders, he shared on Instagram Story a picture of himself holding a helmet. He added a one-word caption: "Maybe."
"Maybe.'' Maybe what? The timing of the post naturally caused some viewers to assume it's Jets-related. ... which means Adams knows exactly what he's doing.
Cryptic. Cute.
ew York QB Aaron Rodgers is going to hate this.
Rodgers is 40 years old. It's no secret that at some point, retirement will be considered and will come. At the same time, Rodgers won't be hurried by outsiders - and yet "outsiders'' will continue to come as well.
Enter Dan Graziano of ESPN , who thinks he's got some sort of insight here.
"Rodgers could decide to retire after this season or could decide to come back and play in 2025," Graziano said. "A lot of that decision could come down to how the rest of this season goes, and the same can be said about the future plan.''
What ESPN just gave you, Jets fans, is "The Sound and the Fury.'' Rodgers might retire. Or he might not. Depending. Really? No kidding, Sherlock.
s has been rumored, the 49ers on Saturday officially are placing All-Pro RB Christian McCaffrey on injured reserve due to his calf tightness and Achilles tendinitis.
This was a Jets-related subject of controversy as it seemed the Niners were not being forthcoming about the injury severity. McCaffrey now will miss the next four games - and maybe more - as the team assesses whether he can return in mid-October.
The Niners did record the win over the Jets without their star as they move to Week 2 against the Vikings.
he San Francisco 49ers didn't have All-Pro running back Christian McCaffrey available for their Week 1 win over the Jets as he was ruled out due to a calf/Achilles injury.
But the 49ers also didn't seem to come clean in regard to reporting the injury issue to the league.
Running back Jordan Mason said after the game that he found out he'd be the starter start a few days prior to the game. That seemed to mean that Niners coach Kyle Shanahan was caught in a lie.But on Friday, the NFL announced that it found no evidence to suggest the 49ers violated the league's injury report policy. We thought a slap on the wrist was appropriate. But of course to the 0-1 Jets, it's immaterial now.
SEPT 10 FIRE HIM! ESPN, as you may know, is now a place where common sense and journalism don't always have front-row seats. And now that the Jets have lost a game?
The outraged screaming is already taking over. "Stugotz" of the "Dan LeBatard Show'' (who happens to be a Jets fan) on Tuesday called for the organization to fire head coach Robert Salah "today'' after New York lost to the 49ers on Monday, 32-19.
"Robert Saleh should be fired," Stugotz said in a podcast . "They're gonna wait until he loses a couple more games. I would have fired him today."Stugotz even has a ready-made replacement for the job.
"What if Bill Belichich calls?" Stugotz said. "What do you do?"
