T0mShane Posted December 5, 2021 Author Share Posted December 5, 2021 The Eagles hung 30 on Denver and 40 on the Saints before getting choked out against the Giants, with Hurts throwing three picks. They have tons of speed on offense, which was the opposite of the situation the Jets faced last week in Houston (save for slot receiver Brandin Cooks). I think it’s just a bad matchup for us and Minshew to DeVonta Smith, Goedert, and Quez Watkins is going to tear us up, and Zach Wilson isn’t capable of producing points. Could be messy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangers9 Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 The Eagles were playing well going into last week vs the Gis. If they can beat them we can. I think this is a winnable game although based on record and play so far they are the favorites even if an away game for Philly. If the Eagles lose they will be ripped by their fans who as we all know booed Santa Claus and take no prisoners. I'll take Zach over Minshew today and a Jets win in a close game 20-17. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of us agreed he might struggle early, but expected improvement the second half of the season. Well we’re past that point now, and he hasn’t. IMO it would be a fool’s game to hand him the starting job next season if he finishes the year playing the way he has. I think he might surprise a lot of us today however. I’m looking for him to play well and the Jets beat the Eagles 24-17. 2nd week in a row you've predicted a Jets win. Seems like you've become more positive now that you've stopped going to the bar to watch the Jets. Who's on local TV today for you? I got Chargers/Bengals and Dolphins/Giants on at 1pm and the Ravens/Steelers at 4pm. Oh I almost forgot. Eagles 31 Jets 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgb Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Jets need to spy Minshew in this game. I’m telling you he hasn’t played in awhile, only a week of practice with the 1s… I expect him to take off a bunch. If we can take that away from him and make him beat is through the air, that’s our best chance. over/under rushing yards 45 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol Having a decent to good QB locked in as your starter is arguably a worse situation than the worst QB in the league situation the Jets currently find themselves in. If Minshew could play at the level of Alex Smith or Kirk Cousins, he’d just be eating up a ton of cap space and not winning big games. As we saw with Darnold, if the QB stays bad, at least the team can unload him fairly painlessly. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Zach doesn’t work out over the next year or two, the Jets should move on. But I prefer actually trying to find a franchise QB over running out there with a Teddy Bridgewater. I’d rather be in the first year of this experiment than deciding whether or not to give Baker Mayfield $30M/year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
