After last week and the last several seasons, I realize our house is made of glass but man, has NYJ nation been hit with a combination of punches in the last week:
1 can't solve K situation, then K loses Game 1
2 prized FA linebacker plays a half then injured (albeit minor)
3 solid WR lost for the year, replaced with old/injured WR
4 QB to miss multiple weeks
Staring down the barrel of 1-5 or 0-6 with CLE, DAL, PHI NEx2 in next 5 weeks.
They are fucked. As Giants fans we know what it's like to have your season end by mid October. The Jets will be there. But, back to the karma, it reminds me of when the Giants started 0-6 and I had to listen to all the crap from Jets fans. I'll have to dust off their taunts.
I had mono between my junior and senior year of high school. Â
It was no joke. The glands in my neck got so swollen I couldn't swallow. Had to go to the doctor every day for a week for steroid shots to keep the swelling down. Slept for another week after that. Like, the whole week. Luckily (or unluckily) it was summer.
Now that I think about it, what if Sam Darnold needed steroid shots? Would that be considered a PED? What are the alternatives?
How about we win week 2 before we talk karma. Sadly, we may be staring down the barrel of 0-6 as well.
I'm more aligned with the posts above, both teams are picking in the top 10. The Giants are a 6 win team this year. I just want to see improvement from the young guys and get Jones in the games so we can see if he is the real deal. I have very low expectations for the Giants. Not so much from what the Jets have been saying/doing.
The Giants are eating all this dead cap space to set the tables for 2020.
Not fun.
High fever.
Night sweats are the tell-tale symptom. I was sleeping with a pile of towels next to my bed... I would wake up every night at 2am completely drenched. My blanket and pillows and sheets were soaking wet... I think the first couple of nights (before I was diagnosed) I'd thought I'd peed myself. So my routine was just getting out of bed and putting down the dry towels and going back to sleep on top of them.
My baby had had mono this year (about 2 years old). The distinguishing symptom for her was the night sweats.
But the worst symptom was the throat pain that sometimes comes with mono. Anybody else have this? I could only communicate with pencil and paper, and begged the ENT to take out my tonsils. To his credit, he refused. But I got good medicine for the pain (Roxicet liquid, since I couldn't swallow pills).
It sucked.

Happened to me as a teen. I posted about it above.

Ya I saw it after you posted. The only thing that came close was when my kids gave me Coxsackie. Hurt like hell, but no fever, and the opiates wouldn't knock it out.

Yep. Every time I swallowed (just my saliva even) it was so painful. I actually went to the ER because my throat swelled up so bad in the middle of the night.
Ugh don't you need to not undergo physical activity for 2 months Â
If he truly has mono, he's gonna be out for a while and I'd be surprised to see him when they play the Giants, which was my point.
The Giants don't play the Jets until November 8th. Darnold is not going to be out for 2 months.
I'm not proud of this, but I drafted Darnold as my backup in fantasy. I only need him for one game, though, when Deshaun Watson is on bye. Wanna guess what week that is?
Like I said, not proud. But after watching the defense vs. Dallas, it was probably a darn good move.
We won't see him unless the Jets win. He always talked about how talented the Jets were and how Darnold was going to have a big year. He claimed the offensive line was going to be good as well. Basically everything he predicted was wrong so I doubt we see him for a while.
He may be out a bit longer...Mono usually has bif spleen(splenomegaly) as part of the response to infection. No one with a big spleen gets released to play for even high school football until the spleen is near normal sized because of the risk of rupture with contact sports.
That looks like a 1-5, 0-6 start...

Beningo already has them @ 0-6... lol. He's a great listen right now. Typical meltdown.

Likely was the case anyway. Maybe they steal one against Cle or the Jags with Darnold healthy.
Knicks
Browns
USMNT
Any of the numerous other NFL teams that have never won a title.
Knick nation says HI.

Losing for the Giants is a good thing this year. It'll get DJ in quicker and we will have a better shot at a Chase Young/Jerry Jeudy type talent.

Some of the FF "experts" predicted Bell wouldn't last 8 games.
We'll see if they were right.

Somehow, Joe Namath never got mono.
Yes.
No point there. Just ... random.

A friend got mono years ago. Bigger dude. Was overweight, granted. Still ended up losing something like 30-ish pounds over a few weeks.
Gained it back and then some lol.

I haven't had a chance to listen yet. How many of the following?
* "No doubt!"
* "I mean, let's be honest!"
* "What a disastuh"
* "Only the freakin' Jets!"

Fairly certain there have been several of each. Once he got hit with the Bell news (MRI) he really started losing it. Love it.

It amazes me that this dipshit is still roaming around here. Obvious dupe is painfully obvious.

Wait, that is really the same poster?
You read all of the stories, now tell me more about the Mono Stores opening up - I'm very interested!

I hope they do win.
If they do win - it will signify that the Browns really aren't worth the hype
Yes, he is

but it is still a winnable game for them at home. Siemian isn't terrible.

The Browns have the Rams and than the Ravens. If they start 0-4 the meltdown will begin.
