Now the media spin, even if the Bills win we basically will be lucky cause Rodgers was lost. 

Who cares? Just win.

Bills started with shades of 2019 and 2020. 2019, short passing plays starting with a slant to Diggs, flare route to Harty, back to Knox. 

 

2020, a lot of spread offense early, with 3-4 wides. 

 

Allen had one of his best throws in awhile, reminiscent of the Gabe Davis dagger against the 49ers, but this was back the other way in between 3 Jets for a 26-yard gain.

 

Mixing in Cook in variety of different looks on the ground. He got 8 carries, best run was a sweep right to the outside for 11.  

 

Bernard stinks, gets completely swallowed, is an effective blitzer. 

 

Milano's closing speed is noticeable. 

Oh. I may have misppke I was able to wFch the game just not focus

If you’re the Jets, wouldn’t it be wise to run the ball on every play? 

 

Yes. We're lucky Hackett is a... hack.

I doubt they’d let him walk around or if he’d even be able too if it’s ruptured 

He took a cart to the locker room

He's completed 17 passes agaisnt that defense, most of them excellent throws.

The few mistakes are glaring from a player that good, btu they have been few, imo

They are going to terrorize offenses this year. If their QB is Zach Wilson it may not matter

Why do people care about this?  Just get the W.

Diggs, Kincaid and Cook. After that I don’t know what we can count on. 

I totally forgot about Gabe Davis until he made that catch

With the others team’s QB going down and Zach Wilson throwing a bad pick. Cmon. Allen looks lost. Offense still doesn’t look good minus a couple good runs and 2 nice throws one to Gabe and one to diggs. 

17/21 133 1/1

 

"Looks lost" according to this guy

 

Can't make this ***** up

I'm actually hoping Rodgers isn't gone long term.  I do not want the Jets to have a shot at Caleb Williams.

 

They won't with that defense.

[Rockinon]

I'm happy to see the offense moving the ball against this defense. Jets D is good. Josh's targets are well covered. The run game is tough sledding. Pressure is getting there quick. I want to see more of the TEs getting more involved in the second half. Make those DBs and safeties tackle those bigger bodies.

Being here is a funeral. A group in front of us packed up and left. I dont get it. It isn't like it is 23 to 3. Just odd fans

And those tickets were expensive. I don’t care if the Bills are losing by 30, I get my money’s worth.

Yes but you can tell they are clearly operating with a snap count for Hall.  
 

Let’s see how quick that goes out the window.  

[MikePJ76]

 a small note to everyone concerning the second half....Field Goals are a good thing.

 

long drives with field goals will lead to a w here.  

 

If they get a stop on this opening drive the jets might call it a night emotionally like the giants did last night.

[CLTbills]

All things considered, if you'd have told me 12 hours ago we'd be up 10 going into the half, I'd have taken that all night long.

 

Even better that I have zero confidence that Zach Wilson can overcome a 10-point deficit.

[Cray51]

Jets D is GOOD.  Unfortunately for them, their offensive line is absolute ASS.  Becton js a joke, and their only success are chunk runs. 
 

I expect them to come out running in the second half, need to have gap control strong and make tackles at the line.

Dorsey seems to be the same frustrating play caller that he was last season. 

 

The lack of working the intermediate zones is my big bug bear. Everything feels like a check down or a deep shot.

Maybe take up watching tennis, man 

Good one. There’s more nuance in tennis then watching Allen take mindless hits like he’s a rookie out there and chucking balls into double coverage when there isn’t anyone within 20 yards.

Yeah, he's taking more flack than he chould

 

What is this unholy mashup of could and should? You won't get away with this.

[Joe Ferguson forever]

 that half went extremely well.  They look great.  Fit and fast and ready.

[Dopey]

Slow start for Josh IMO. Picked it up as the game progressed. 
Get out of bounds!!!

Slide!!!!
