So..Tim Tebow shouldn’t try this because he might take a spot from a young guy?
Ok, maybe it’s just me..but if you’re a young guy who cant beat out someone who hasnt played in the NFL for 9 years and has NEVER played TE before? Maybe you dont have a long NFL career in your future

Imagine being a football expert..and analyzing every possible aspect of only 1 game every day for 4 years..down to who has the better exercise bikes behind their bench..
Finally you make a prediction!
And you’re off by 4 touchdowns..
Congrats!! You’re a presidential pollster

A playoff overtime winner is a great way to end my @NHL season..4th year in the books!
A blast of a year.. and to all of you who said such nice things about our broadcasts, thank you! I may not respond, but I see your support and it is so appreciated!
Can’t wait for October!

If you’re a @nyjets fan, at 5-2, tied with the Chiefs for the 2nd best record in the AFC, with the Pats coming in this week, where @MetLifeStadium will be electric…and your first thought is our QB didn’t play well against the Broncos D on the road??
You need to refocus..

Jets fans, believe me I understand..
This is as tough as it gets..
But when you’re down 8 starters, the franchise QB, and the backup QB..and you’re thin to begin with, you’re in an impossible spot...
This isn’t about coaching...this is about getting your players back..

I know many Jets fans are happy that the season is over and the coach will be let go..
And it may not matter to you, but know this too...Todd Bowles is a good man and a class act..getting to know him, it was easy to see why so many people around the league respect him

Losing Kobe Bryant at only 41 is devastating enough..but as a father I find my thoughts instinctively turning to his daughter...and how any parent would die a thousand deaths if it meant their kids would be ok..
This is as sad a story as I can remember..

I know lots of Jets fans want a new QB...but maybe drafting Devonta Smith and letting Sam Darnold throw to him wouldn’t be the worst way to go?!!
Man oh man....

If MLB says a 7 inning no hitter isn’t real, aren’t they tacitly admitting 7 inning games shouldn’t be?
We dont distinguish between records from 162 game vs 154 game seasons.
You can’t invent 7 inn games and say the accomplishments aren’t real..that means the games aren’t either

Sam Darnold had 4 INTs last night...
Among the QBs with 5+ INT games in their bio: Namath, Marino, Elway, Warner, Unitas, Bradshaw, Aikman, Fouts, Brees, Griese...among DOZENS of others..
If you want to define Sam Darnold by 1 game in his 2nd season, you’re out of your mind

I live very close to, and have worked many years in NYC…I was working at MSG during 9/11…I also went to BC…so every year I hope folks watch this story and remember
Welles Crowther was a former Boston College lacrosse player whose trademark was a red bandana.
On September 11, 2001, he led people to safety after terrorists struck the World Trade Center.
This is his story.

Jets fans shouldn’t dwell on the QB sneak…
The way Zach Wilson played today without his starting center, with a 3rd string LT, without his top 2 WRs, his top 3 TEs and his top 2 RBs for most of the game has a MUCH bigger bearing on the future of the Jets than 1 bad play

My 2cents regarding vaccine anxiety:
When I fly I trust the pilot.
When my computer breaks, I take it to the tech expert.
When my car dies, I call a mechanic.
Because I know what I don’t know.
So when I’m sick, I trust scientists and doctors.
I’ll be the first in line!!

Of all Jets analysis, the most baffling question I hear is when someone asks if Sam Darnold really “the guy”?
The Jets have lots of issues, but QB is the LEAST of their problems..
Their goal now is to build around him..
If you watch him and cant see the talent, I can’t help you

I’m just learning that we lost a broadcasting, MSG and NYC media legend in Al Trautwig. When Al’s voice was the first you heard to start a pregame, no one made a local broadcast feel bigger. He was also as nice as they come. Sending every good thought and prayer to his family RIP

The apparent polarization on Mekhi Becton among Jets fans puzzles me.
The injury wasn’t his fault..and maybe there’s a learning curve for that big a man getting back to NFL shape?
But as a rookie? He had games where he was a dominant player..you dont give up on talent like that

If you don’t like the Jamal Adams trade from a Jets perspective, I have to know..what exactly would they need to get back for a safety, who wants a massive raise (that Seattle must now give him) 1-3 years early, and who has shouted from the rooftops that he didnt want to be here?
149

Well that’s my last #StanleyCupPlayoffs game for this year…so many have said supportive things about our shows all year, and it’s been appreciated! Hockey fans are the best!

Drove a kid home from my son’s football practice tonight...first thing he said when he got in the car...
“Mr. Wischusen....I went to the Jets practice last night....I got Jamal Adams autograph!”
A moment he’ll never forget...
I don’t do this for clout. I do this because I was once that little kid... My goal was very simple last night. It was to change a life or two! Luv

Do the Jets have a QB controversy??
I’ll say this:
You dont make 10 year decisions off 1 game or even a handful of games
But you also dont bench QBs throwing for 400 yards and winning
So while I believe Zach Wilson is the future, why not see where Mike White takes you for now?

So the Jets have lost the last 3 games, vs a team many picked to go to the Super Bowl, and on the road vs the teams that have won 4 of the last 5 Super Bowls..
And have mostly played their 3rd string QB..
But the problem is the coaching isn’t imaginative enough...
Got it...

Denzel Mims is the same guy many Jets fans would’ve been happy with 11 picks ago...and they still got him...and added an extra 3rd round pick in the process...

For those who criticize Joe Douglas, or any GM, for not signing every guy they want in the first hour of free agency…does it seem like Joe Douglas is asleep at the wheel now? Do you get that free agency doesn’t end 10 mins after it starts?
Jets fans have to be happy tonight!

Texas just lost a game that was practically un-losable...
Put aside that it was Abilene Christian..
They held an opponent to 30% shooting, 17% from 3...and shot 45% themselves, including 35% from 3....and lost...
That’s mind numbing....

People who dont like Skalski targeting ruling..not sure if you understand the rule is for Skalski’s protection as much as Fields! It doesn’t matter if Fields isnt defenseless or spins into the hit..Skalski controls his own head..dont lead with the crown of the helmet..it’s simple

Jets fans…want to say thanks again for listening all season long! 20 years in the books for myself and Marty Lyons and Greg Buttle…Dan Graca has been with us for handful as well..I know the whole crew appreciates all the kind words and dedication from so many of you…
Thanks!

For Jets fans lamenting todays win for draft purposes (which is ridiculous, you should want Zach Wilson and the other young guys to experience winning as much as possible)…the Seahawks loss just evened the day out draft wise…
So enjoy both!

Additional perspective on Jets trade
They’re now in line to turn 2 2nd rd picks and Sheldon Richardson (who they were never resigning anyway) into Jermaine Kearse AND a potential franchise QB..
I’ll say it again...if you don’t like what they’ve done you’re out of your mind
69

894
For Jets fans frustrated by today’s loss, I get it..they came close to pulling it out
But if you’re in an elimination pool, how’s that going?!
My point? That’s the NFL..it’s literally week to week..in a 17 game season, tough losses happen.
They’ll be fine..I really believe that

I know there are no moral victories ..but it’s easy to see Zach Wilson, and most of the younger Jets for that matter, have made a lot of progress in the past month..the idea of this season was to see the arrow pointing up as the season went on..and it looks to me like it is
32
50
868
I never blow preseason games out of proportion.. But if a Jets fan was looking to see physical, well coached and well executed football in Aaron Glenn’s debut, you certainly got that tonight. There was a lot to like. Excited to see if they can keep building on that performance

Sam Darnold is everything you want the face of your organization to be...zero entitlement, great worth ethic, never heard a bad word said about this kid...never ever ever imagined he’d be there at 3...I think he’ll be a true franchise QB

Jets fans have been through this before..but this feels different..because past losing seasons have mostly dragged into the off season with the most important questions unanswered: Will we get our QB, and who will that be??
Every week it becomes more clear..they’ve got their QB

Many kind words from so many Jets fans regarding the calls, and I really appreciate it!
It was a lot of fun today..and it’s been a long time since the Jets have had players that can make moments like that happen…but they seem to have a few now!
See you next Sunday for Cincinnati

If you want to know why teams are calling the Jets and asking about Sam Darnold...check Twitter tonight, and the nonstop praise for a QB trying the best he can to use his athleticism to run for his life and make a play for his team..
Sometimes the stats dont tell the story...
67
75
775
Sam Darnold had a famously terrible game vs Pats..he got over it..
Zach Wilson’s a rookie, now he’s going through it.
And no matter how many Jets fans told me Sam was terrible (odd..haven’t heard from many of you lately) I always said he could play.
I believe the same about Zach
64
35
747
Can’t play defense any better than the Jets did in the 2nd half of this game…ton of fun to call…
Thanks to all the Jets fans for everyone who was listening and all the kind words…
I really appreciate it

Welp, add me to the Jets COVID list!
I’m fine..already on the other side of any symptoms…but I’m forced to miss my first ever regular season game tomorrow.
So it’ll be @DanGraca on the call of Jets-Jaguars, and he’s going to kill it!
Merry Christmas to you all! Stay healthy!

Outside of the Jets famous playoff victory at New England, that was most unlikely win we’ve called in our 20 years as a radio team!
A backup QB throwing for 400y in his first start?? 2 scores down with 7 mins to go?!
Hard to believe that just happened ..
25
53
735
For Jets fans...here’s a fun activity..
Screenshot the “QB lists” from the “experts” from the last few months..
Look at where many of them have Sam Darnold ranked..look at the names many have ahead of Sam on their lists..
Save the lists..you’ll have the last laugh..trust me
35
79
725
Hard to believe the Jets fans who responded to me saying they don’t like the Enunwa deal...I get he’s been hurt..but at $9 million per year, he’s probably about the 30-35th highest paid WR..so when healthy that’s very fair value..
Also, he’s as good a guy as you’ll ever meet..
99
68
722
Sam Darnold can be really good…which is what I thought would happen all along…
Zach Wilson can be really good…which is what I think will happen as well…
Both things can be true…
And that’s fine…
39
32
698
Ok look..Zach Wilson..Im hearing he’s either on his way to Canton..or nothing he’s done counts because it’s all vs backups..
As always..the truth is in the middle..
He looks great..and he’s got a huge future!
He’s also a rookie..and he’ll make mistakes.
Both things can be true
36
24
708
I was auditioning for the overnight gig at WFAN the night Mickey Mantle passed..and I took calls from grown men who wept telling the stories of their childhood..
There are a lot of grown Mets fans who must be feeling similarly tonight with the passing of Tom Seaver

Wouldn’t it be fun with Jermaine Johnson still on the board if the Jets made a few calls about trading back into the 1st round??

Please....let the Jets offense be so good that other teams want to hire their OC!
What Jets fan wouldn’t sign up for that??

Jets fans....I have many thoughts on today’s game...
But let me just say....
Beer...
Beer helps...
63
91

Hard to overstate how much the Jets needed that and how much the fans deserved it!
2015 was last time we heard the stadium sound like that..been WAY too long
D was outstanding again, with Q Williams, Mosely, and a bunch of kid DBs!
And that’s why the QB can be special..
Fun day..
25
32
699
Well…that’s the end of my hockey season…but what a way to end it! Best player in the world scores in OT…not too shabby!
Already looking forward to next year!

691
I’ve been inundated with negative Jets fans..so some thoughts.
First, season isn’t over yet..let it play out
Next, I’m in the minority, but I believe in Sam Darnold..DNA of a top notch QB is there
So however this season goes, I think the Jets are ok at QB..and that’s a good thing

So…@nyjets fans…wondering how excited you are for tomorrow??
137

670
Jets have rotated 7 OTs (8 if you count Becton, who was projected to start)…which is insane
They lost arguably their 2 best offensive players
They’ve played 3 different QBs
And they’re playing big games in December
No matter what happens, this season has been a step forward
32
66
672
Someone needs to explain to me what the Dolphins think they are..
They’re tanking for Tua, but they traded for Rosen, but they’re starting Fitzpatrick and are trading their LT for Clowney??!
So..are they tanking? Rebuilding? Looking for a QB? Or do they have one? What are they??
120

If you would’ve told me what the Jets injury situation would’ve been before the season, I’d have guessed 4 wins..and I certainly didnt think they’d win more than 4 after a 1-7 start..
To win 7 is hopefully something to build on..
Thanks to so many of you who listened all year..
48
43
666
Have to admit, sometimes I take what I do for granted a bit..it’s my job..
But realized that inside of 2+ weeks I’ll have called games at MSG, MetLife Stadium, Yankee Stadium, (brand new) Mercedes Benz Stadium, Gillette Stadium, Allen Fieldhouse and Cameron Indoor..

Imagine how little I care who Zach Wilson is or isn’t dating?
He’s a kid, and he’s also a QB in New York..I go on the assumption he’ll have multiple relationships during his Jets career..
I just hope he’s happy..
And I hope he becomes a really good QB..
That’s about it..
50
24
661
If Jets end up signing Bridgewater, what exactly is the downside? By QB standards he won’t cost much...he’ll be highly motivated to resurrect his career..and it does nothing to inhibit them drafting a young QB
80
155
627
I guess I always assumed you didn’t listen to us call the games...
Now I know for sure you don’t...
But I canceled my Daily News subscription when they let the sports department go...

As wonderful as he is a broadcaster, and he’ll go down as a legendary voice of New York sports, he’s 100 times nicer a person! Congrats on a hall of fame career Sam…and let’s hope the Rangers give you an amazing season to go out on!

Arguably the hardest thing to do in the NFL is to build a reliable OL
In ‘09-10, the Jets had one of the best, protected a young QB and they could run the ball
Now the oldest member of their OL is 27, their QB is young, and they have a stable of RBs
Excited to watch this group

I really hope today is the last Jets game I ever call in an empty stadium...
Next year...and the return of the fans...can’t get here soon enough...

Last night I tweeted I don’t think my generation has done nearly as good a job curing our country of racism as we like to believe..
About half the responses I received ranged from stick to sports, blaming the media, criticizing NBA boycott, etc..
Which seems to prove my point..
47
33
595
I’m sad Sam Darnold was dealt the hand he was, but I’m happy for him to get a fresh start..good for him.
If I’m a Panthers fan, I’d also be happy..because you’re getting a QB that can absolutely play..
For the Jets, resetting the clock on a QB they believe in is exciting as well
35
42
610
Well Steve…the game was on Turner…and I work for ESPN…
But I’ll be on the call for game 5 Tuesday night…And it’s great to know you’ll be watching!
(By the way..I watched the game..Brendan Burke called it very well, and right down the middle..like he always does)
49
26
603
127,562
Jets fans, here’s why I’d be excited..
Look at the previous stops for Douglas and Saleh in Philly and Seattle and San Fran..look at the building block seasons those organizations had before winning a title.
At the very least this Jets season already seems headed in that direction
22
24
589
I’ve read a lot of analysis of the AFC East QB depth chart over the last 24 hours..
Here’s my analysis...
The head coach of the Patriots would be happy to offer both of his QBs and a 1st rd pick to the Jets for their QB..
And the Jets would say thanks, but no thanks ...
