"The Inept Bowl" -- Just How Bad is it for New York Football

The Jets and Giants will meet this Sunday at MetLife with absolutely nothing to prove other than which team is worse.

"The Inept Bowl" -- Just How Bad is it for New York Football

Isn't it crazy how a football season can start and end so fast in the National Football League? Seriously, a fan can go from so much hope in September, to talking about draft position and draft picks in the beginning of October. Sadly this has been the case for football in New York. This Sunday New York will embark on what is being called "The Inept Bowl", a game between the New York Jets and the New York Giants

These two organizations have been so bad, actually the worst in the NFL for the last 3 years and both of the fan bases have had enough. The Jets since 2017 have gone 10-30 and the Giants have gone 10-31, that is just not acceptable in this market and changes need to be made. Unfortunately though, since both of these teams have just been so poorly run organizationally, changes do not seem as if they are coming anytime soon. When these two teams take the field Sunday it will be a game that means absolutely nothing. Both the Jets and Giants are not making the playoffs, both these teams have issues that might take multiple years to fill, and both have young QBs that have been turnover machines throughout the year. Throw on the fact that they have also dealt with some of the highest numbers of injuries in the NFL and you have a recipe for disaster. It really is a shame. And the Coaches! How could I forget about them. I think Jets and Giant fans have seen enough of Pat Shurmur and Adam Gase. Both of these coaches just seem to be way over their head with these football teams. Shurmur and Gase are too involved in the offense and it is clear to see that they can not handle a full football team. There are times in Giants and Jets game where you can tell by the play-calling and decision making that the coaches are giving up. Two off the top of my head are Shurmur running the ball on 3rd and 20 late in the 4th quarter game against the Cardinals, and Gase not calling any timeouts letting the clock bleed in a game against the Dolphins. As fans the coaches want us to understand that the game is essentially over, that doing anything out of the ordinary on teams with so much talent deficiency will just lead to worse results. I call bull. As fans we just want to see our teams be competitive, go for it who cares and the Jets and Giants have been so far from that it is disgusting.

When Sunday comes around it is important for the fans to realize where these teams are. Honestly, there is no reason for any of us to be at MetLife, but naturally we all want to be there. Sunday is like the pinnacle of where these teams have been heading. For the last couple of years the Jets and Giants have been terrible in their own leagues, separate from each other but now they finally meet. In my opinion, I really do not feel that this game should have any extra meaning. If one of these teams get blown out so be it, I mean the Jets just lost to a team that is trying to lose, and the Giants just got beat by a team the Jets beat. It is just such a weird and unfortunate scenario we the fans of both teams are in. Sunday there should be no smack-talk, no conversations of which QB is better, which RB is better, because at the end of the day both teams suck.


I will say this though... I wonder how many sacks Leonard Williams will have, because it would be so JETS if he was dominate and a difference in this football game since he never was a game-changer in the green and white.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.

Obsessive Thoughts Keep My Brain Stuck On A Loop And Me Stuck On My Couch

Sometimes my brain just starts turning on an idea and it doesn't want to stop.

I don't know if it is related to my anxiety, perfectionism or depression. I don't know why it happens. It's frustrating, it's painful and it stops me from functioning.
