Mike Francesa delivered a masterclass after the lowly New England Patriots defeated the talented-on-paper New York Jets at Gillette Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
The well-known New York sports activities radio host had a whole meltdown after the 25-22 verdict, which marked a fifth straight loss for Aaron Rodgers and firm. Francesa referred to as it an “all-time Jets debacle” that every one however ended New York’s season.
Listed below are a couple of segments from “The Mike Francesa Podcast” launched Sunday.
On interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich and the teaching workers: “They needed to go exterior the group and usher in skilled folks. As a result of they’d no person within the room who might coach this crew. And that has been my worst worry and it has come to fruition. And never solely come to fruition — it has, right now, been exclaimed in highlights. I imply, simply daring print. I imply, you’ve received to be kidding me. This defensive coordinator, who has now turn into an interim head coach, has a greater likelihood to turn into president than he does to be a head coach subsequent yr. I’ve a greater likelihood to be an astronaut than this guys has to turn into a head coach sooner or later. He’s worse than Saleh. The crew has regressed! In each manner.”
On Aaron Rodgers: “I’ve come to the conclusion that isn’t Aaron Rodgers. It’s any person else in that physique. This has all been one other dangerous trick. I’ve come to the conclusion that if the Jets had traded for Jim Brown in his prime they might have made him a 3rd down again! They might break any participant. I didn’t suppose you can break Aaron Rodgers. They’ve! They’ve turned him right into a bum! And these head coaches, they minimize to the offensive coordinator, he appeared like he was ready for a bus! They requested the coach at halftime, and his assertion simply made no sense in any respect.”

And on kicker Greg Zuerlein: “Invoice Parcells used to say to me, ‘If my kicker doesn’t kick 80% of his discipline objectives he’s any person else’s kicker.’ Zuerlein must be any person else’s kicker or no person’s kicker! Eliminate him! What number of video games can he lose in a single yr?! Additional factors, discipline objectives.”
On late-game execution: “How can they not get a play in — the entire time they’re coming down the sphere when you rating you want a two-point play! You’re going to be up 5! And also you get a delay of sport! How is that doable! What are you guys doing on the sideline?! All the things the Jets touches turns to rubbish. Full and utter rubbish. I by no means thought they may prime among the stuff they’ve carried out prior to now. However what? Immediately was as little as low might probably be.”
Francesa wasn’t the one radio broadcaster who expressed frustration Sunday. Patriots radio broadcaster Scott Zolak took the officiating crew to job after a couple of questionable calls.
