    We are 1-0 but might have lost Rodgers to Achilles injury. To be confirmed tomorrow. Next up, Dallas Cowboys. Interesting enough, as bad as Jets have been, we have a 3 game win streak against Cowboys since 2011.

    Dallas defense looked impressive against the Giants. Without Rodgers I give the edge to Cowboys but you never know.

    I will also be at the game next Sunday. Flying Saturday and coming back Sunday. Hope we pull of another win :)

    Dak isn't as dynamic as Josh Allen, but he isn't turning the ball over 4 times, so I have to go with a Cowboys win.

    After seeing the breaking news I’m just numb. Even after a win, like wow. Dallas spanked the Giants what are they gonna do to Zach?

    The Cowboys defensive line is going to annihilate our offensive line. Zach is going to get pummeled.

    I think our D can show up well against Dallas…but I just think that Dallas DL is going to annihilate our OL

    If we’re going to win, it’ll have to be like a 10-7 type game … I’d be surprised if we put up more than 15 points …

    I'll be surprised if Zach has a passer rating above 50 in this game - he's not as good as Daniel Jones, and we saw what happened in that game. If the Cowboys don't win by double digits, it will be viewed as a real failure for them. I can still see the Jets winning 8 or 9 games this year (at most), but I would be shocked if this is one of them.

    If we play turnover-free, it's a one-score game.

    IF...

    Game plan:
    Breece, Breece, Cook.
    Cook, Cook, Carter
    Breece, Breece, Carter

    Don’t fumble and once in a while just toss in general direction of Garrett,
    No turnovers and less than 15 pass attempts is the only way we have a shot.

    I think we lose like 16-3.

    And then the following week it gets no easier when he faces bellichek who owns him, guy is going to be a mental midget with all his confidence shattered going into week 4. Only way we win this game is if we get 4 turnovers like today Gipson springs ones and breece rushes for over a 100 yards as the winning Zack Wilson formula last year.

    No chance with Hackett at OC, Zach at QB and DB at LT. None... Zach is gonna find out how Custer felt at The Little Bighorn.

    I had to miss being at this game because I'm having 2 hernias repaired this week. Best hernias ever.

    We're taking an L on this one. I can't see ZW going into Dallas and winning. Our only hope is if Dak implodes.

    Dak isn’t a run threat(like Allen ,anyway), and is easier to take down. So hopefully minus that the defense can do some damage. As far as offense, I do t know. Obviously a strong run game is #1, but will still have to be able to throw some to sustain drives. Talk about back to square one.

    He led the league in INTs and only played 12 games. He will throw you a few just like Allen. If we don't turn the ball over this has the writing of another 20-16 game.

    They did an admirable job persevering last night and delivering a huge win against a great team. Speaks so highly of the character and talent on this team.

    I just hope reality of life without Aaron Rodgers doesn't set in too hard and they lose steam.

    I'd be pleasantly surprised if they win - Zach needs to play a real solid game. But they have a chance with this defense, special teams and some of their skill players

    Throw in the occasional sideline pass to Wlison, Breece, or one of the tight ends and we are in business.

    Until Zach proves he can play the position with any type of consistency, I can't imagine them winning any tough road games.

    We are back to where we were last year, asking the defense and special teams to win games. That's not sustainable, especially against the better teams. And Dallas is one of them.

    I think it'll be a low scoring game, probably similar to tonight. I don't think this is an auto loss by any stretch.

    Despite Dallas embarrassing the Giants, its not like they were an offensive juggernaut. Prescott completed 54% of his passes, on under 6 ypa. Pollard had 14 carries for 70 yards. Jets have a better defense than the Giants, I wouldn't be shocked to see the Jets keep them in check.

    Everything that could go wrong for the Giants did. Jets just need to limit mistakes and I think they'll be in the game. Obviously, easier said than done.

    I don’t think we’re going to get starched like the giants. A few things are going to get answered this game: Can Hackett come up with a game plan that suits Wilson on a short week? Because we’re not going to be able to run, run, run. Wilson is going to have to pass and do it quickly. He may need a new Intel 13900k to process quicker. I don’t know.

    The defense is going to keep us in the game, but the offense has to score.

    I can’t call it. We beat a top tier team last night. We can’t forget that. Was it luck is the question.

    I don’t expect a win and their defensive line is a problem but things in this league go through hills and valleys. They won 40-0 but the game starts 0-0 and everything changes week to week.
