Many of us, including myself, have expressed various concerns as to why we are nervious about the Jets game later tonight.  This is for good reason.  They have a very strong defense that is capable of shutting down a team as talented as the Bills. It's a short weak, etc. 

However, there ARE some reasons why we should be confident going into tonight's game.

1.  We still have Trevor Lawrence.  He's still red hot, and playing at this level outs him among the elite QBs in the game in just about any QB power ranking.  The Jets don't.  As far as the weather is concerned, I'm pretty certain TL has played in the rain before and has played well some of those times...even if it was in college.  There was the one time this yer in Philadelphia where he had a disastrous outing in a tropical storm, but who is to say that wasn't an aberration?  How many times does a person fumble 4 times in a game?  Trevor v. Philadelphia, Leon from the Budweiser commercial https://youtu.be/3BkIh1R5utY maybe Dave Kreig and that's pretty much it from my recollection.

2.  We have Doug Pederson.  One thing working against the Billsis they had a new OC...former Canes QB Ken Dorsey, who replaced Brian Daboll, who became Giants coach this year.  Pederson has much more experience calling plays, and may be better equipped to formulate s better game plan against that impressive Jets defense.

3.  The Jets have their share of injuries.  Their offensive line has been battered this year, and it's impacted their effectiveness.
Though we got hit kinda hard this past Sundaym we've been fortunate so far we haven't been hit as hard as the tacks and Jets.

4.  We've beaten tough defenses this year.Remember the Dallas game?  Remember the Ravens game?

5.  I think the weather can be an overrated factor.  Whenever a Florida team has to go to a cold weather city late in the season, the mesia act as if that team is the 1980s Bucs who went so many years without winning a game below 45 degrees.  Jaguars fans have internalized this to a ;arge extent.  WHen the new schedules are released, the first thing people look for are cold weather games, and cringe when they find them.  But the fact is, cols weather can be overrated.  Dating back to the 1970s the Dolphins owned the AFC East, including going undefeated against Buffalo the entire decade.  I'm pretty sure some of those games were played in cold weather.  In the 1980s, the 49ers were supposed to struggle as they had to go to Chicagoin a conference championship game.  The 49ers pulled it off.  In the JDR era, the Jaguars won in below freezing temps in Lambeau field and Jacksonville beat them, followed the next year with a January win in Pittsburgh (the Garrard run).  They beat Pittsburgh again in below freezing weather back in 2017.  We've seen Seattle, and San Francisco come to Green Bay in January and win.  Tje fact is, if you have to rely on the weather to beat a team, you've already lost.  Fact is, if you have a better team, you have a good chance of winning irrespective of the weather.
