I hope you are. Tonight, the New York Jets face off in a grudge match against the New England Patriots and we'll get a chance to see just how good Geno Smith really is.
With the injury to former starter, Mark Sanchez, likely keeping him out for the remainder of the season, the second round pick has become the incumbent starter.
Dr. Andrews confirmed that Sanchez has a labral tear in his right shoulder and is "likely to have surgery" that would put an end to a season that never started.
Back to Smith, he had an average start. Well, as good as a rookie that was thrown to the lions, or swashbucklers - 24/38 with 256 years, one touchdown and an pick - not too shabby. All of the talent is there, now we wait for it all to come together on the field.
As for Sanchez, he's still debating the final decision on whether to not have the surgery now, or put it off as long as he can with choosing to rehab the shoulder, instead. If he went that route, could, at least at some point, play this season, but would still likely have to have the surgery at the end of the year.
The Patriots, last week, had pulled off a squeaker past the Buffalo Bills, with a 23-21 final score.
Tom Brady wasn't too on point as he normally is, going 29/52 with 288 yards, two touchdowns and one pick.
No Quarterback controversy to report here, and I'm not going into the whole Aaron Hernandez debacle. Okay, maybe one little thing; he had everything going for him, and he still chose to throw his life away to be a thug. Maybe he thought he could be the next Tony Montana? But Tony wasn't in the spotlight as Hernandez was-- is. Innocent or guilty, he's thrown a big portion of his NFL career away.
Anyway, this game should be a good one, and those that are lucky enough to subscribe to the NFL Network are in for one heck of a treat.
The Jets stingy defense vs one of the NFL's elite, high-powered offense's. Let's just hope it's not all hype and no substance. I don't want high scoring necessarily, just a great game played like a chess match. Only, with more hitting.
Kickoff is at 5:25 PM PT
UPDATE: Patriots sloppily defeat the Jets, 13-10
