We’re Still Facing An Elite Defense Next Week

[MountaineerCowboy]

I don’t care that the line made us a TD favorite now that Rodgers is out.

Sure, the game became a lot easier for our defense, but we’re still facing an elite defense ourselves.

If the offense can’t get going it could be a low scoring game either way. I think the Jets, like most teams do against us, will focus on making our pass game beat them. The difference with the Jets and most teams is they actually have a defense capable of doing that.

I’m hoping we can force some turnovers and get the ball into very favorable field position a few times to take pressure off the offense having to drive long distances.

As of today I’m seeing this as a 20-10 type of game in the Cowboys favor.

I think the O will score 2-3 TD's, get a short field and win like 24-10, 24-13. The Jets O-line might be as bad as the Giants. That certainly bodes well for us.

I would be worried if it's another rain storm next week.

If not I won't be

It’s not just that this will be a bad offense vs good defense matchup, it’s that it’s a bad OL/turnover prone QB facing the most opportunistic defense statistically in league history across the kind of time period we’re talking about (2+ full seasons of leading the league in total turnovers).

It doesn’t really matter how good the Jets defense is if our defense is scoring and get INTs/strip sacks deep in their end of the field.

It mattered for the Bills last night.

Williams in the middle is going to be a problem. Their secondary is outstanding as well. Breece Hall is a stud as well. That’s about it. Just play a clean game and this should be just fine.

You know the game is in Dallas right?? The roof is always shut...

Win the turnover battle. Win the game. Or even a push on the turnover battle and the cowboys win.

I agree that I don’t really see a high scoring game. Honestly 20 points against this jets defense would be a good game for the offense.

Yea ..... that's the point

How do you figure? The Bills were -3 in turnovers on the road and the Jets still needed an unbelievable catch on a poorly thrown ball and a punt return TD in over time to win by one score. The average NFL margin of victory in games in which you are +3 in turnovers is 19.2 PPG. Winning by 6 in that situation is a bad thing in terms of predicting the quality of your team.

That’s not applicable to my post at all, nor is it a reproducible means of winning football games. Sure if we turn it over 4 times, create few or no turnovers ourselves, allow a special teams TD and Garrett Wilson consistently makes chicken salad out of chicken **** we could lose a close game. But you can’t even get to the end of that sentence without recognizing how silly and unlikely that is.

You think the Cowboys aren’t capable of turning the ball over to the Jets like the Bills did and keep it closer than it should?

You’ve watched too many Cowboys games to be confident enough to say the Jets winning a close game is “silly”.

You should know better. This could be 2021 vs the Broncos all over again.

I got us losing this game, in the same way we lost to San Fran.

I think we win just because of Wilson.

But any time we play an above average defense it could go either way.

Agreed. I’d be happy and take 20 points right now against a top defense. Its likely that we won’t score more than 20 unless our defense can turn the ball over a couple of times. In 17 games last year the Jets gave up only 18 per game, and that was with QBs turning the ball over every game. The way both offenses call the game will likely resemble a playoff game. Lots of running and short, conservative passes.

I think you nailed the final score because their OL simply cannot pass protect. Our TEs need to step up this week.

So what will the narrative be when we drop 40 again? Can't wait to hear you backpeddle.

You should know better. This could be 2021 vs the Broncos all over again.

Dallas lost to the Broncos by giving up 450 yards and 30 points. Terry Bridgewater is a significantly better NFL QB than Zach Wilson will ever be, and this defense is a lot better than that one. And that Broncos team was 7-5 with the last wildcard spot before Bridgewater got hurt. Who thinks the Jets are over .500 with Wilson for that length of time? Even their own fans don’t believe that’s possible.

There is no conceivable scenario where the Jets score 30 points next week. They won’t score 30 points all season most likely.

It doesnt matter.If we dont turn the ball over on Offense we will cover the spread easily.

My biggest worry is in the past our defense has made bad QBs look like Joe Montana. That was under Garrett though. So i am expecting a win this week. Parsons seems to be playing on a different level this season. His film in training camp of throwing Tyron smith around wasnt just noise its reality.
