Holy crap what a great play by the holder that was a bad snap.

All things considered not bad for me the catches by Diggs and the long FG have me down by 10.65 now. TD to Diggs or Dawson in OT might just win it

what a great finish what a return. And the stupid punter tried to strip the ball instead of tackling the guy

Well the Jets have their first round pick back if Rodgers can't play. It was conditional on 70% snaps played.

After watching everybody but Tua and a couple others suck this weekend its making me appreciate Kyler's abilities a lot more.

TBH it just seems like a tough week for everyone. Not sure I see a trend.

And its critical that Kyler regains his quick twitch/speed with the way these defenses are flying around and Olines looking bad. Cause only a 100% Kyler survives that Jets defense tonight or that Cowboys defense last night.

Yeah it would be tough but Kyler definitely would have more of a shot than say the Giants. Giants OL is considered significantly worse than ours at every position except LT. Preseason OL rankings had our OL at 16 with the giants at 32.

Giants LT got hurt in the first drive vs. the Cowboys and they proceeded to give up a pressure every single snap of the game. One of the Giants OL had a PFF pass-block grade of 1. Cowboys D is damn good but they will not have another game like that, that was a perfect storm.

Oh I get it. And I know the Cowboys made some upgrades, but Kyler toyed with the Cowboys defense in 2021. Made Parsons whiff almost every time. Just saying I think its important for him to be that dynamic.

Not even a Jets fan, but that makes me sad.
Indeed. Whenever it appears that another legend of the game is getting close to the end or does retire, it’s just a reminder that I’m getting older. When I see how old and feeble someone like Sonny Jurgenson has become, it brings back so many memories of watching him in his prime. I’m so happy that my Dad was into sports & that I started following all sports at a very young age (5).
