I care. I certainly won't jump off a bridge if they lose, and without a doubt my main priority is that they not incur any more injuries, but it would be badass as hell if they could man up and steal a game like this on the road.

The players and coaches need to be taking the attitude that every game is a must win.

But as a fan I'm just looking at the NFC North. The objective is to get to the playoffs. Once you're there you have a shot and it's bit of a crapshoot. A couple of good/lucky games and you can be in the SB.

Right now, as long as we out perform the Vikings and the Bears we're guaranteed a playoff spot.

If the Bears continue to implode and the Vikings SB train comes off the rails then I'm not overly fussed about the regular season record as a whole.

It sure would be nice to wrap up a playoff berth early though and rest a few of our backups (the starters are already on IR).

The only way I would be extremly disappointed would be if somehow the Vikings beat the Pats on the road and we lost. Then that would upset me but that would more directed at the Vikings win, than our loss.

I agree with the earlier post someone wrote, it'd be a big win more than it would be a big loss.

This is the best team on the schedule. You bet your ass I care about this game, and I'm pulling for a win.

Jets are the 3rd or 4th best team in the AFC and the 3rd or 4th best team in the NFL. (There are no NFC teams in the top 4). They were my preseason favorites to win the AFC and represent them in the SB. They do have the team and the motivation to upset the #1 seed in the AFC CG. Not saying they will do it. I'm just saying they can. Don't be surprised if they're in the SB.

I'm not expecting a win. However, if we win this game, I'll be shocked and elated and will probably celebrate by buying Mrs. Z a real nice dress.

We face 2 elite teams this year - the Jets and the Patriots. I want to see how we measure up.

I'm actually rather optimistic about this game. I think if the Packers can put Sanchez on his back a few times this week, they could improve their turnover ratio. Finland is correct when he points out that the Jets do not commit turnovers, and Sanchez has been incredibly efficient throwing touchdowns this year. I think the Packers have to be disruptive if they want to win this game. If they settle for shutting down the run, I think Sanchez will light them up through the air. I don't believe the Packers will be able to completely squelch the Jets' rushing attack, so I'd rather see them put the fear of God in Sanchez instead.

Alternatively, just light up the skies with a precision aerial attack and force Sanchez to play catchup. I'm not convinced he can do that.

I'm not confident that we can put Sanchez on his back. We have lots of injuries, so even with Matthews we couldn't get any consistent pressure on the Vikings' porous line. And the Jets have one of the best blocking lines in the league. Slauson is their only weak link, and I say if we are going to get to Sanchez, it's gonna have to be through that guy.

If we have Jenkins and Pickett we are in good shape. We might even have Harris and /or Bigby back. I think we can move the ball on anyone if we aren't beating ourselves.

Our Oline killed the best Dline in football last weekend. The Jets will bring blitzes so it's just going to be a matter of getting the ball out to the open guy. The Vikings went wild on them in the 2nd half and if not for some wide open misses by favre I think the Vikings would have beat them.

I'm not really scored about them running up the score on us. If we can keep the run at bay I think we win.

If we have Jenkins and Pickett back, CM3 will get sacks.

Pack wins it on a last minute Pat Lee kickoff return. MARK IT DOWN!

agreed. Raji will get pressure up the middle too. There's a big difference in this team when our entire line is healthy.
