Jags had weakest schedule in 2017

I want to know if the Jags will put tarp over their upper deck seats for this game?  Guessing their home field advantage is no overwhelming.

 

On GR yesterday, they said the Jags got approval from the league & tarp advertisers to remove them.  The 3,900 (IIRC) extra seats sold out within 40 minutes.

Anyone know where their forums reside? I keep coming up with generic ones. I'd like to see what their thoughts on us are.

Most active forum I could find. Linked is the Bills thread.

I read through a couple pages. They are in the same boat as us: happy to play a flawed and inexperienced team, but worried about their inept passing offense.

 

I would say both teams are pretty evenly matched. Their defense is probably better, but our QB doesn't turn the ball over, so I think it is a toss up (that is, if McCoy can play).

Some real clowns over there basically calling it a calk walk. The blueprint has been demonstrated on how to beat them = SHUT Down the running game.

 

Unfortunately that is what we are bad at on defense. And the same blueprint works against us.

They definitely don’t think much of us. They already have this game counted as a win and are figuring out who they play after that. 

 

Good, I love when opposing fans are over confident. Sets it up for an upset. 

 

On another note, it was strange to see the Chargers fan in there talking trash about how the "Jaguars lost to pick their playoff opponent".

 

Chargers weren't making it because of the Ravens loss or alternatively Bills win. Not bc of the Jaguars loss.

If the Jags beat the Titans the Chargers would have got the 6th seed and us the 5th.

No, I believe the Ravens would have beat the Chargers based on a better conference record.

 

Chargers needed a Titans loss PLUS: 

A Bills loss

OR

Ravens win

 

Edit: Bottom line is nothing happened the way they needed it to. Its just strange to hear them complaining since the Jaguars game ended I believe right before the Bills game or shortly after and the Ravens game was still going. So how the Jaguars were manipulating playoff spots seems sketchy and unlikely.

Buddy of mine is a big shot with a ticket company. Said sources told him Jacksonville still has over 10,000+ seats unsold that haven't went public yet...

Yeah, spot on. They basically  got 100% the opposite what they needed. Whatever with the Chargers though, It's our time.

Couldn't have asked for a better opponent to play.  The Jags have a single quality win on their schedule - Steelers 10/8.  Roethlisberger threw 5 picks in that game.  49ers put up 44 on them.  Cards 27 and Seahawks 24 respectively and they have average at best offenses.  Their defensive ranking is a mirage. 

Bortles threw for less than 200 yards 6 times.

The key to the game is stopping Fournette.  They need to play the Jags like teams play the Bills.  They need to load the box.  Fournette has averaged only 3.6 YPC in Dec.  He is a rookie RB with 268 NFL snaps.  He was hurt in college and has had a quad injury already this year.  The Bills can not let him get going early.  They need to trust White, Gaines, Hyde, and Poyer.  They can handle Bortles.  They have a single WR that can beat the Bills deep.  Play a safety over the top of Cole and put White on him the entire game.

This is a game that is very well suited to TT and McD.  Play it safe. Let Jags make the first and second mistake.  

 

Bills win 20-13.

Ok I will disagree on AVERAGE at best O for the 49ers with Jimmy G in. I think they were one of the highest scoring Os after he took over.  Seattle AND Arizona have good to great WR and or QB and they can score in bunches.

 

i agree stop their running game and make Bortles beat you. Bortles is their weak link. 

 

I fogure the score be..

 

Bills 17

Jags 14

 

if they don't stop the run it's a blowout for the Jags
