    Road games are always tough, however the Colts are 3-5, have some skilled players but their QB is incredibly overrated.

    Reich also makes questionable calls as a HC.

    That being said, the Jets CS needs to put together a somewhat conservative game plan to keep game close until they can get the offense in a rhythm in this game.

    Use Johnson up the gut instead of Carter and run the ball more, tire out the Colts defense a bit. Jets can’t go 3 and out on multiple offensive drives on the road, it will give the Colts all the momentum.

    Jets can win this game if they keep it close and weather the storm of whatever good plays the Colts make early.

    That is what was extremely surprising. You don't turn the ball over 3 times and win these days. Like you say, play a clean game, keep the game close and see what happens in 4th quarter.

    That said, I don't really care about a win here. As long as Mike White shows up and plays like he did last week, tosses 300+ yards and 2+ TD's, I will call this game a win.

    I'm pretty excited for this game, and it is very refreshing. Man I hope we can pull off a win. Come on Jets, make it two in a row.

    Hey bud. Welcome to our forum. We have a game thread and a poll in case you want to join the conversation there.

    I will merge this with the game thread.

    Dark horse candidate for post of the day right there.

    What I would love to see: Black shirt, white pants. With the green candy apple helmet that would look amazing. White shirt black pants might work too.*
    What I expect to see: some ugly ass shit like black shirt green pants, or vice versa, or all green.

    *what I would REALLY love to see: the classic Namath/Parcells unis back!

    Jets will be wearing a white jersey but it says pants are "TBD". The Colts are in all blue.

    my recollection is that we rarely block well for runs between the tackles.
    i get that you wanna switch it up offensively...just that... THAT might not be the way to go... not saying I have a better idea, really ...

    for me its about getting elijah, carter and mims the ball as much as possible

    this game is one of those ones i think has a high probability to break Jets fans hearts...

    hard for me is that it will be nationally televised and i can easily sneak off to the lunch room to catch 5-10 minutes here and there...
    whcih would prolly ruin my evening

    I want to pick the Jets but every time I do they come out flat and play lousy. This game reminds me of the London game. A game that they can and should win but will find a way not to. I hope I’m wrong.

    21-20. MW does just enough to win while Dr, Jekyll/Mr Wentz will have a couple of picks.

    Can't rely on anything. Therefore impossible to predict.

    Great win v Tennessee followed by a below par showing in London to which I took all the blokes in my family. Cheers!!

    Then the biggest shitshow in living memory @ Patriots followed by a fantastic effort v Bengals in a game where I'd given us zero chance.

    We're all used to it. We are The Jets.

    Starts at midnight 00:20 UK time. I'm out on the beer now and will continue when I get home. I shall of course be watching it live. This will mean sleep at 3am earliest.

    I have a presentation to do to my boss and directors tomorrow at 09:00. Oh well. Priorities must come first.

    Go Jets. 24-17.
