This is a Kyler get out of jail free card and also what a brilliant promo by Call of Duty. I might have to give the game a try

Dont do it
I did it. I haven't played a COD in years but played this one due to it being a part of Game Pass. The Campaign is amazing!

Hope I'm wrong, but I think Kyler and the recievers are going to struggle against this Jets team. They have the talent. I don't know if it's the play calling, the lack of chemistry, the receivers not being able to beat one-on-one coverage, Kyler not adjusting ( or his lack of faith in the receivers, except Trey Mcbride), but something seems off. It looked like MHJ started catching with his hands finally but the last game showed that wasn't the case. I hope I'm wrong and will gladly admit it but, this seems like an NFL trap game.
It just seems like one of those weekends where on Monday, all of the NFL talking heads are saying how the Jets are right back in it and the NFC WEST is still wide open.

Because he can make contested catches, and has an amazing catch radius, McBride is pretty much unstoppable vs. zone or single man coverage.

I love the little waggle/half roll out plays where McBride (or Higgins) is always wide wide open for an easy 15, and I'd love to see DP run that about 10 times this Sunday. That would help our boys stats. ;)

Why they don't do this more is mind boggling

Easy yards and gets KM on the move

It is mind boggling.. I’m still out on Petz. A couple of good games will make one forget how terrible his playcalling has been overall. Very limited creativity and still isn’t play calling to Kyler’s strengths w any consistency

Maybe part of it is running for 150+ yards a game really does protect our opportunistic but overmatched defense.

Could be.. but I wouldn’t bank on us doing that every game. I like our odds better when putting up big points vs praying and clinching the defense pitches a second half shut out. Can’t see us beating any true contenders that way

Thankfully we don't have to.

Same as we don't have to have K1 carry us every game as well.

Imagine being able to do both when we need to.

Unfortunately the play calling has dictated this more than the talent on the offense. We win in Buffalo and Detroit if the play calling is agressive

Great high efficient game.

Listening to the coverage it seems that Drew and Kyler are still figuring each other out. So that means the upside is high.

2 of the last 3 games show how good this passing game can be. Lets hope it continues after the bye. I still think this team needs a true speed threat to unlock the offense (where its top 5 status)
