Whelp, I'm not expecting the Jets to be a pushover

I finally watched the Bills/Jets game last night. Strangely, I had heard of Rodgers getting hurt, but not about the Jets victory. Somehow I had it in my head that it was a Bills win, so I was surprised at the Jets' victory. They've got an excellent defense. They got just enough offense to keep them in it, and then won it with that amazing special teams play.
...
One surprise is that Zach Wilson's middle school or parents allowed him to stay up that late to play. He looks all of 12 years old.

Obviously they'll make some major adjustments to their scheme
I would hit us with 5 wides using picks (since the League doesn't really give a damn) and quick hitting runs up the middle.
That said we'll still hold them to under 17.
Our offense needs to put up 20./ no turnovers.
We win

Jets are well coached and play hard. They run well. They defend well. We will be in a dog fight early. I think by the 2nd half we start pulling away. If we an elite SB team, we need 2 choke out inferior teams and get the win. This game will tell us the identity of the team we have.

Wilson will make a few plays. We better be ready. If we can get an early lead we can release the hounds on him. Dallas losing will be the story this week if we let the Jets waltz in here and win.

Especially on offense.

I think the defense will overpower them and it will be an easy win.
I don't think there's any such thing as an easy win in the NFL. There are games that a team SHOULD win, but this league is full of surprises, and sometimes unpleasant ones. I hope the Cowboys are well-prepared.

Has anyone heard -- is Rodgers officially ruled out?

If the defense comes to play it will be a moderately easy game as long as the offense can do their jobs.

Where's that easy button?

We will get all we can handle from their run game. True test for our D. We know they can pass rush. Can they stop a team committed to the run? We shall see

This game comes down to Dak vs Wilson. Both teams have great defenses that will make it tough to score and both teams have good skill position players on offense. Which QB plays better and makes fewer mistakes will likely get his team the W. I’d much rather have Dak than Wilson!

I have never actually seen a teams coaches go on and on about how talented the team is and what a rare opportunity they have.

Of course this was before they lost Rodgers, but this team had superbowl aspirations.

Everyone said the same thing about the Giants run game.
