We’re Still Facing An Elite Defense Next Week

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.
Of course you don't care. You claimed this was a 9 win team to follow up on your 8 win prediction last season.

As a complete team, we just destroyed a division rival on the road and in inclement weather. I think all of the NYJ being elite talk can just simmer.
We closed out the Giants in the 1st quarter.
The Jets barely won in OT.

I'd we can handle the Giants DTs the Jets won't be a problem
Except the Jets have CBs. Unless we go nuts on offense, their defense will keep the game tight and they will stay committed to the run game, something NY couldn't do after our defense scored twice quickly and things snowballed. I don't think there's much chance of us losing the game, but I don't think we are going to run away with it like we did against the Giants.

There’s only a handful of great defense that can exploit the small weaknesses we have on offense and unfortunately the Jets are one of them. The leader on offense has to overcome and elevate.
They barely won. With Buffalo trying to give it away.

Funny how elite/great these defenses are up until our "small weakness" lights them up. Then they suddenly turn overrated/weak.

If we are good as a team, we will win... as a team.

We haven’t “lit up“ a great defense lately. I hope people don’t think the Giants have a great defense or last years Vikings s had a great defense.

our offense went limp amd impotent when they face the Niners and that has to change. The Jets are universally known as a great defense….let’s agree to revisit this after the game.

If we “ light them up” nobody will be happier than I am……I just recognize challenges for this team when we’ve seen them. Nothing more, nothing less

22' Eagles was a great defense and we hung 40 on them, unless you gonna reach to downplay them in some way. Come to think of it, a Dak lead team didnt play many top 10's last year...

but sure we can revisit this after the Jets.

The Jets don't look right to me, they will flop this year, we should blow them away also, as long as the Offence and you know who can come out swinging accurately.
