Jet's, even if improved dramatically, will not have it together in the first game. Let alone that first game being on the road. Rookie QB hoping for greatness won't be able to pull off the perfect game on the road. Our defense will be able to get pass rush and pressure the young rookie QB. He could make some plays, but can their defense stop ours. And more importantly, can the Jets completely new offense keep up with ours. I imagine some rust on our team as well. Ultimately I see our rhythm being similar to the preseason game against the Steelers. Moderate start, but pile up some points towards halftime and the second half. Being on the road will be too much for the Jets, and our defensive pressure will keep the Jets from matching our productivity on offense. Maybe a close 1st/2nd quarter, but we will pull away late.
