    1. Defense has to be great. This will be the number 1 key every game obviously with how bad our offense is. Jets don’t have many threats on the outside besides Robby Anderson so hopefully we can contain LB and pressure Darnold into seeing Ghosts. We probably can’t give up more than 14 and need 2 or 3 turnovers to win this game.

    2. Duck has to bounce back because the Jets run D is very solid. As much as I want to say just pound the rock and keep Duck only game managing the Jets D is much weaker vs the Pass. I have little faith in RF actually exploiting a teams weakness but I think we need Duck to be aggressive if this offense is to succeed.

    3. Win the Special Teams battle. In what could and should be a very low scoring ugly game between two poor offenses the team that wins field position could end up being the difference. We need Boz to stay brilliant and the punting/return game to be mistake free. Can’t have any 20 yard shanks or fumbles to flip field position.

    If and it's a HUGE if, Duck can engineer 2 TD's we will win.

    I think Devlin bounces back and has a good game. Our receivers are better and can get a step on their defenders. Duck needs to sling it out there for them to make one on one battles. Can't float anything like he did last game.

    Bottle up Bell and make Darnold throw under pressure. Defense should get at east 2 turnovers this way.

    I’ve not watched the Jets much this year, so here’s a genuine question:

    Is their Run D really good, or is their Pass D bad, so teams don’t need to run so much against them?

    Ol Randy will devise a solid game plan. Run on 1st, run on 2nd, 3rd and long. Yes they have the top run defense in the NFL but i'm Randy and we will force the run dammit!

    Quack Quack needs to move the chains and stop the Ben heave it up. A couple of picks and it will be Rudolph time.

    The rap giant would love nothing more then to have a banner day. This must not happen.

    Slim playoff chances hinge on a victory.

    It doesn't matter. MT doesn't game plan for any opponents strengths or weaknesses. It's probably not even brought up in meetings leading up to the games.

    Watch out for Ryan Griffin in the Red Zone

    With R. Anderson questionable, Lev Bell will get the bulk of the work I'm sure

    Give time for Duck to throw

    They were getting smoked to start the season w/o Darnold so one would think that teams would be running on them late in games. Surely an enigma.

    The offense can't turn the ball over.
    Berry has to be at least average, no 20 yard shanks.
    The defense has to get at least 4 sacks and force at least 3 turnovers.
    If all of that happens we can squeak out a low scoring win.

    He forgot coaching. Don't try and outsmart the other coach with gadget, gimmicks and fakes. Don't run 5 or 6 wildcats if they stuff the first 2.

    My keys are:

    Defense - Win this game for us and shut Bell's a$$ down!!!!! Pressure pressure pressure will win this game.

    Duck - A big bounce back game, take what they give you and let the play makers make the plays.

    DB55 - I have been hard on this guy since we drafted him, he has had great, good and bad games. Today I feel his speed is needed to help with shutting down Bell.
