Jets-Giants Put The FOOT In Football! NFL Week 9 Preview

Jets Thomas Morstead and Giants Jamie Gillan in front of Metlife Stadium.

With leagues becoming more and more hostile towards kicking, it's nice to see a game that reminds people this is FOOTball, not handegg. In this case, Jets Thomas Morstead and Giants Jamie Gillan put on a punting clinic as they combined for 24 punts in a game where only 23 points were scored. I don't have to be a former punter to respect their performance.

THE GAMES


2023 NFL Season week 9 Tennessee Titans vs Pittsburgh Steelers
Tennessee Titans      38
Pittsburgh Steelers    6

Today doesn't feel like a Thursday until I speed through this review.


2023 NFL Season week 9 Miami Dolphins vs Kansas City Chiefs
Miami Dolphins           24
Kansas City Swifties  34

The European tour resumes as the NFL returns to Germany with former Chief Tyreek Hill looking to beat his old team. I wonder will the crowd sing Taylor Swift songs during the game?


2023 NFL Season week 9 Minnesota Vikings vs Atlanta Falcons
Minnesota Vikings  16
Atlanta Falcons       10

Falcons QB Desmond Ridder keeps turning the ball over so Taylor Heinicke will start against the Vikings who just lost Kirk Cousins for the year with an Achillies tear. I figured since Minnesota traded for Joshua Dobbs, he will replace Kirk but instead, it's rookie Jaren Hall.


2023 NFL Season week 9 Seattle Seahawks vs Baltimore Ravens
Seattle Seahawks  30
Baltimore Ravens  10

Why won't people talk about the Seahawks more? East coast bias. Duh.


2023 NFL Season week 9 Arizona Cardinals vs Cleveland Browns
Utah Buckeyes         9
Cleveland Browns  10

Why won't people talk about Cleveland's #1 defense? Because they're the Browns. Duh.


2023 NFL Season week 9 Los Angeles Rams vs Green Bay Packers
Los Angeles Rams   10
Green Bay Packers   27

Sean McVay should've moved to broadcasting after winning the Super Bowl.


2023 NFL Season week 9 Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs Houston Texans
Tampa Bay Buccaneers   24
Houston Texans               26

The Astros didn't repeat as World Series champs but the state of Texas did!


2023 NFL Season week 9 Washington Commanders vs New England Patriots
Washington Commanders  31
New England Patriots          7

Sack Watch: Sam Howell is up to 41 for 276 yards. OUCH!


2023 NFL Season week 9 Chicago Bears vs New Orleans Saints
Chicago Bears          19
New Orleans Saints   7

The Bears fired their RB coach even though they're 5th in rushing. Can you say scapegoat?


2023 NFL Season week 9 Indianapolis Colts vs Carolina Panthers
Indianapolis Colts   9
Carolina Panthers   6

The Panthers finally won their first game of the season. They won't go back-to-back.


2023 NFL Season week 9 New York Giants vs Las Vegas Raiders
New York Giants      17
Las Vegas Raiders  10

Not only did the Raiders fire both their head coach and GM, they benched Jimmy G in favor of rookie Aidan O'Connell because as owner Mark Davis says, they "were going in the wrong direction". They should've stuck with Rich Bisaccia. How many coaches do you have to fire midseason before people say ownership is the problem. Like goddamn, he's still paying Jon Gruden!!! So now it's up to former Super Bowl champion Antonio Pierce to turn this ship around.


2023 NFL Season week 9 Dallas Cowboys vs Philadelphia Eagles
Dallas Cowboys        36
Philadelphia Eagles   3

Rangers are world champions AND the Boys blow out the Birds? Arlington is eating good! 


2023 NFL Season week 9 Buffalo Bills vs Cincinnati Bengals
Buffalo Bills              19
Cincinnati Bengals   41

There's plenty of think pieces over this SNF game so I can skip this part.


2023 NFL Season week 9 Los Angeles Chargers vs New York Jets
Los Angeles Chargers   17
New York Jets                 10

Just stay afloat. That's all Aaron Rodgers need you to do Jets, just stay afloat.


LAST WEEK:   9-7
OVERALL:     65-57
