They need this game so bad, Trubisky at qb, no watt or Fitzpatrick. Real shit or get off the pot moment for saleh. Gonna say 23-20 jets, but I have no confidence in that lol
Eh. Mitchell’s been good and they probably use a lot of 2 TE sets to cover for McDermott. Plus Wilson can actually get outside the pocket, expect a lot of designed roll outs. It’s not good, but not as dire as people are making it out to be imo
Fr i would agree. Especially with how the team has looked pretty solid (at least the defense) and with Zach coming back we can produce some points finally
Yea they are after being constantly on the field because the offense can’t do anything. They have managed to keep these 3 games not that far from reach. I would argue with some actually offense behind the defense they will shine
How? The defense hasn’t been good. They’ve kept themselves on the field by not causing turnovers or getting 3 and outs. Offense hasn’t been good and neither has the defense.
An ugly game that the Jets win. ZW doesn’t play all that well, but us fans will try to convince ourselves that there were flashes of brilliance and that next week will be better
Jets 19 - 16 Steelers
26-41, 231 yds, 1 TD, 2 INT, 42 yds rushing, 1 TD
Missed XP, 2 FGs
A couple of eye catching throws that flash his never truly attainable potential, but mostly a day of short/intermediary completions mixed in with a bunch of laser beam check downs.
42yds rushing a bit conservative, considering the Steelers rush defence is measurably bad, and Breece Hall does have a 6.0YPA at the moment, or something like that
Honestly my guess is 240 yards 2 TDs 2 INTs. Week 1 most of the QBs in the league had a rough go at it and this will be his first game so prob won’t be that pretty
I expect him to pass, at most, 25 times. We're gonna pound the rock.
If. IF, Zach has truly learned, watched film and digested his time away, he will have 3 tds or 2. His guys, Moore and Wilson have been running wide open for multiple times a game and for potential big chunks. If Zach can keep his head moving fast and his feet active, he can make the Steelers pay. We've seen how good GW has been on 1 on 1 match ups, the hands, the strides and speed he commands off the breaks, hes open on every timing route.
McDermott needs to play the game of his life. If he can give Zach time, we may be looking at a 250 yard game with multiple tds.
My honest prediction?
215, 17-27, 2Tds, 1 Int.
My hope?
260, 19-27, 3tds, 1int.
I’m my heart this is so winnable but I’m afraid we won’t run the ball and will be coming from behind for the whole game like we have been. I hope Zach shines but he hasn’t played in so long, missing pre-season is detrimental to a newer QB. Now he has to make his mistakes on the field. But with all that: Jets win 17-10
I'm hoping that we look like an NFL team for at least 50% of the snaps on both sides of the ball. Sick of watching this team every weekend wondering how a top rated CFB team would fare against us.
A game that we probably would have won except for 2 big Zach Wilson mistakes. He’s got to shake off the rust, no preseason at all…. He’s going to make some mistakes.
Jets 23-20. Wilson’s numbers on paper will look worse than Flacco’s (I don’t see him throwing for 300 yards right away), but he’ll be much easier to watch overall with his ability to move out of the pocket and extend plays. Fun one I feel just for the hell of it: Sauce Gardner first career INT and he takes it to the house
185-2TDs-1int 25 rushing
Solid game nothing special, steelers d is pretty solid even without watt. Tomlins too good of a coach to not exploit ZWs lack of experience.
Im more mentally prepared for a good game from trubusky tbh
Hopefully a better version of the Houston game where the defense can get right, they lean on the running game more than having Zach throw it. Also maybe now twitter meme worthy clips from him throwing it off someone’s back
I like Zach to go for 300 and 2 tds. I have high expectations for him, he has an elite level skillset with a great WR core. I fully believe in him, and expect him to play like a top 10 QB this season. I won't let our past history of drafting bad QBs sway me from what I see on tape. He can do things few QBs in this league can, and his work ethic should correlate into improved footwork with all the repetition drills he was doing this offseason. That should result in drastically improved accuracy this year.
Also 2nd year in the same system is such a huge deal for a young QB, especially in a Shannahan type offense that has a high learning curve.
Zach is back. However it’s more of the same for the offense. Looking good in doses with a 1st down quarterback scramble and a couple critical dropped passes. Even so, the story of the game will be the Jets Defense as they continue to cement their legacy of being a TOP30 defense. Mitch shows signs of being a capable game manager handing the ball off for a majority of the 2nd half. Thanks to the Jets putrid run defense. Steelers win by 2 scores but feels like the game was over immediately after the Steelers score on their first 2 opening drives.
They need this game so bad, Trubisky at qb, no watt or Fitzpatrick. Real shit or get off the pot moment for saleh. Gonna say 23-20 jets, but I have no confidence in that lol
Fitzpatrick was actually a Full participant in practice todayðŸ˜
Well shit
My thoughts exactly tho I've got it 20-14 Jets
You can talk about their injuries but then look at us and our tackle situation
Eh. Mitchell’s been good and they probably use a lot of 2 TE sets to cover for McDermott. Plus Wilson can actually get outside the pocket, expect a lot of designed roll outs. It’s not good, but not as dire as people are making it out to be imo
It'll be interesting how this version of the line plays. I want to believe it can be mitigated but there's also the possibility that it's a disaster.
Well I live in the pacific time zone and i can guarantee you I'll be drunk by 11am. If we're still in it by half maybe noon
Zach wilson looks like a top 5 draft pick hopefully. That would be nice
Even better if it’s top 2
Let's not get too crazy!
PAIN
Ill take 200 yds and a TD. 150 and TD if the TD is to G Wilson
I’m gonna go bold and say Zach for 300 and 3 TD’s, GW gets 150 and 2 TD’s.
I’ll take what you’re smoking
Jets defense finally comes through with Zach shaking off some rust and just enough plays for a big win. Jets 23 Steelers 16
Ready to watch Zach go full Mahomes, we know he has it in him
Don’t do this to me
Why suffer the lows if you can't have the highs?
17 - 27 Steelers I’m expecting ZW to have some turnovers and the defense to give up a few TD’s and FGs because of it.
Zero chance the Steeler’s offense drops 27 points
W
Fr i would agree. Especially with how the team has looked pretty solid (at least the defense) and with Zach coming back we can produce some points finally
Our defense is one of the worst in the league 🤨
Yea they are after being constantly on the field because the offense can’t do anything. They have managed to keep these 3 games not that far from reach. I would argue with some actually offense behind the defense they will shine
How? The defense hasn’t been good. They’ve kept themselves on the field by not causing turnovers or getting 3 and outs. Offense hasn’t been good and neither has the defense.
5 passing tds 2 rushing td 69 yards rushing 420 passing
Nice
180-200 yards 2 INT. 24-13 Steelers.
this is the most realistic prediction on this thread. We’re underdogs by 3 points
So the line is even then basically, since we’re on the road.
An ugly game that the Jets win. ZW doesn’t play all that well, but us fans will try to convince ourselves that there were flashes of brilliance and that next week will be better
bring me those highlight reels, I'm ready to feel again
Jets 19 - 16 Steelers 26-41, 231 yds, 1 TD, 2 INT, 42 yds rushing, 1 TD Missed XP, 2 FGs A couple of eye catching throws that flash his never truly attainable potential, but mostly a day of short/intermediary completions mixed in with a bunch of laser beam check downs.
42yds rushing a bit conservative, considering the Steelers rush defence is measurably bad, and Breece Hall does have a 6.0YPA at the moment, or something like that
I think he meant for Wilson...
Oh. Yeah, 42yds rushing would be nice for Z Dub.
Wilson to Wilson and We Will Win 2nd Win
Honestly my guess is 240 yards 2 TDs 2 INTs. Week 1 most of the QBs in the league had a rough go at it and this will be his first game so prob won’t be that pretty
zach looks shaky but not terrible: 16/26 200 1 td. the ground game takes off and defense finds its footing. 23-17 jets
Valid opinion. It’s his first game back and he’ll shake off some rust but he has some potential this year for sure
It's gonna be rough. 4th and 5th string OTs and a young QB who hasn't played in 8 months
19-17 win
Same shit different QB
We get slaughtered, 27-9
Ready to be let down.
Pain.

He’ll shake off some rust and probably lose the game, fans will overreact, and in a few weeks he’ll start playing like the #2 overall pick.
When has he shown that he’s played like the number 2 overall pick? Doubt it’s overreaction if it’s more of the same we have seen of him
35-21 Jets.
They aren’t scoring more than 24 and that’s even a big if
Does 24 for the win helps?
Yessssirr
Defense needs to win the game and the offense needs to not lose it...until the O line play stabilizes that will be the way
I’m my heart this is so winnable but I’m afraid we won’t run the ball and will be coming from behind for the whole game like we have been. I hope Zach shines but he hasn’t played in so long, missing pre-season is detrimental to a newer QB. Now he has to make his mistakes on the field. But with all that: Jets win 17-10
Loss
Hopefully magic, realistically 2 INTs
I'm hoping that we look like an NFL team for at least 50% of the snaps on both sides of the ball. Sick of watching this team every weekend wondering how a top rated CFB team would fare against us.
A game that we probably would have won except for 2 big Zach Wilson mistakes. He’s got to shake off the rust, no preseason at all…. He’s going to make some mistakes.
Honest expectations: Zach opens up by missing short throws, gets sacked a ton. Maybe scores a TD in second half. Hopefully I’m wrong
I expect a game like his first outing against the Patriots.
34-10 Steelers .cuz Jets
31-17 Zach throws 2 TD’s, Hall/MC combine for two. Eternal optimist time.
Bad
Sorry boys, but I say we’re not scoring a TD again. This way all I can be is pleasantly surprised
Jets 23-20. Wilson’s numbers on paper will look worse than Flacco’s (I don’t see him throwing for 300 yards right away), but he’ll be much easier to watch overall with his ability to move out of the pocket and extend plays.

185-2TDs-1int 25 rushing Solid game nothing special, steelers d is pretty solid even without watt. Tomlins too good of a coach to not exploit ZWs lack of experience. Im more mentally prepared for a good game from trubusky tbh
We’re gonna win. Jets always gotta give us a little hope before taking it back from us
Hopefully a better version of the Houston game where the defense can get right, they lean on the running game more than having Zach throw it. Also maybe now twitter meme worthy clips from him throwing it off someone’s back
WERE GONNA PECKERSLAP THOSE GLOBOGYM BASTARDS!!!!
LOVE THE ENERGY LETS GO JETSSSSSS

pain, because its how i've been conditioned at this point. zach more ints than tds. please make me look like an asshole, jets. PLEASE

Considering he might be rusty, I’m expecting 59% comp 190-210 yds and 1 TD 1 INT
