Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in New York Jets fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.

Week 2 certainly did not go the Jets’ way. The team was dominated in Dallas in a blowout loss to the Cowboys. The Jets now find themselves with a 1-1 record through the first two weeks as they try to navigate life without Aaron Rodgers.

It was a particularly ugly game for both the defense and the offensive line....

Taking a look at the best Jets defensive performances against the Dallas Cowboys

In week 2 the New York Jets were thoroughly defeated by the Dallas Cowboys. Because of that, it’s really easy to dismiss some good performances by New York Jets players. While it may not feel that way, some good performances were present on Sunday... at least on defense.

Win or lose, every week I’ll highlight the top 5 players from the New York Jets last game on both offense and defense as rated by Pro Football Focus (PFF). This article will cover the defense’s best performances from...

Today as on most Wednesdays we have our weekly podcast mailbag. Thanks to everybody for sending in questions this week. As usual, there were more excellent questions than there was time to answer all of them. Please feel free to resubmit questions for future mailbag installments.

Today many of our questions are about the offensive line. Is it possible the Jets could reshuffle it? How much criticism does the front office deserve for its state? We also talk Jets defense. What are the flaws right now? Should fans be worried about first round pick Will McDonald being a healthy scratch?...

Bringing your daily links to the NFL’s New York Jets

Good morning, Gang Green Nation. I hope you’re all having a great start to the day. One of the moves that’s gone under the radar in the New York Jets’ Week 2 loss to the Dallas Cowboys is Robert Saleh’s decision to keep this year’s first round pick, Will McDonald, inactive. Why would you draft a player only to make them inactive in the second week of what was going to be a difficult game to begin with? I’ve always felt that Saleh was more like Todd Bowles with his...

Earlier we discussed how the Cowboys might have found and exploited some Jets tendencies on third and short plays. Play calling is more art than science. A coach needs to strike a balance between sticking to his team’s identity and becoming too predictable. Sometimes a tendency can leave a defense vulnerable as the Jets were in those third down situations.

The calls the Jets made were at least defensible. The Cowboys simply had better plays called, ones specifically tailored to beat what the Jets were doing.

Frequently play callers take too much grief when things go wrong. The failure simply...

Taking a look at the best Jets offensive performances against the Dallas Cowboys

Last week, I wrote “In week 1 the New York Jets defeated the Buffalo Bills. Because of that, it’s really easy to remember all the great performances by New York Jets players. However, other weeks they’ll lose and there will still be great performances then too.”

If only I realized how soon that statement would come back to haunt me. Not only did the New York Jets get blown out by the Dallas Cowboys in week 2, but their highest overall Pro Football Focus grade was 66.9....

The Cowboys seemed to have Jets tendencies figured out on some key downs.

Coaches staying up all night breaking down film of the upcoming opponent is the stuff of legend in the NFL. You hear stories of coaches who have a cot in their office where they sleep during the week so they don’t need to spend time commuting that could go to film study. Entry level quality control jobs are given to young coaches first breaking into the league. They study film all day and night on upcoming opponents.

What is this obsession with film? Hours of study might...

The Jets get run over by the Cowboys juggernaut

The New York Jets began the 2023 NFL season with a stunning overtime victory over the reigning AFC East champion Buffalo Bills. Unfortunately they lost Aaron Rodgers to a torn Achilles tendon for the season in the process.

Without Aaron Rodgers under center the Jets were no match for the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. They probably were no match for the Cowboys on the road even if Aaron Rodgers were under center. The Cowboys manhandled the Jets to the tune of a 30 - 10 blowout, and it wasn’t as close...

Bringing your daily links to the NFL’s New York Jets

Good morning, Gang Green Nation. I hope you’re all having a great start to the day. The NFL Gods are cruel, and chose to end the season of Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb yesterday. Chubb is probably one of the best pure running backs in the NFL. His loss is truly a loss for the NFL. It also is a tough pill to swallow, considering how much drama went on between running back and the NFL, as arguably three of the best in the league are out for an...

Steelers vs. Browns

Deshaun Watson, Under 203.5 passing yards (-105)

Since Desaun Watson was traded to the Cleveland Browns he hasn’t been the same gunslinger quarterback....

The Jets lost to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, which makes it our sad duty to hand out anti-game balls to those responsible. Here are my picks.

Nathaniel Hackett: Being an offensive coordinator might be the most thankless job in the NFL. When a play doesn’t work, fans criticize you. Most of the time there was nothing inherently wrong with the play call, however. The players just fail to execute.

In Hackett’s case on Sunday, however, I think the play caller does deserve criticism. There are just a number of aspects of the game he called that did not make...
