YoloinOhio Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I haven’t seen a lot of the Jags this year (ok, none) but their roster, stats and rankings are scary as hell especially on defense. I have seen almost every snap of the Bills and know they have to play a near perfect game to win given roster, passing game limitations and injuries. I’m hopeful but have a ton of concerns. But the Jags have won 1 more whole game than the Bills this year. With a last place schedule, and not playing the Pats twice (or even once). That said, the blowout predicted/assumed by their fans is a bit surprising. They don’t have many concerns with their team at all yet, they lost 6 games somehow. https://www.duvalpride.com/showthread.php?tid=26310&page=14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royale with Cheese Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I think we're going to have to put the ball in Bortles hands and Taylor is going to have win on his improvising/broken play ability. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaMilBill Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 If the Jags have a running game even remotely close to which the Saints had on us, we are doomed. If we can stop the run or hold the run to below 120 yards and not give up big plays I think we have a shot. But Tyrod is gonna need to make some plays with the ball. That's two huge things that really haven't worked for us this year: 1) Tyrod slinging it efficiently and scoring TDs 2) The Defense stopping the run 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBill Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 It’s really hard to say how this game will go. The Bills have struggled against this kind of D. It’s really dependent upon the type of game Taylor has. I tend to agree with Gugny (scary I know) that the Bills need to unleash Tyrod and let’s see what he can do.

Sacks could be a big issue as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProcessAccepted Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Bortle is known as a choker. He panics and lofts the ball as if he was a relative of Geno Smith. If we can keep it close he'll turn it over in bunches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yungmack Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 (edited) Interesting Dareus factoid: The Jags went from dead last in run defense to 12th for the regular season after he was traded to them. They are, I believe, 7th overall since he joined them. Edited January 5, 2018 by yungmack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still not rock solid but we're not the same team that got crushed by the run right after the trade. 4 minutes ago, Steptide said: Imo the bills need to pull out every gadget they have.

There's a lot of heart on this team and our defense can be just nasty. I think we win this game if the team doesn't get distracted by all the hype and attention they are getting from the media.

Yeah. He started out the season like a house afire, but since Thanksgiving has slowed down a lot. His backup - TJ Yeldon is dealing with an injury. Those are both plusses for the Bills' defense. 30 minutes ago, yungmack said: Interesting Dareus factoid: The Jags went from dead last in run defense to 12th for the regular season after he was traded to them.

That will change Buffalo's strategy. For some reason, the big run plays have increased. Overall, they've dropped their ypc against. I think their radio guy down there stated they've given up something like 19 runs of 20 yards or more in the last 7-8 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not very gap disciplined for such a talented defense. they like to attack and shoot upfield which leads to overpursuing and they can be beat on counters pull out Read options and draws and run it down their throats 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDH Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Bills simply need to stop the run. If they can effectively shut down the Jags' run game and make Bortles beat them they have a great shot at winning. If Bortles has a great game and they lose I can live with that. If they get dominated with 200 rushing yards against it will be painful to watch. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billspro Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I think if we keep Fournette around 3.5 ypc and we don't turn the ball over we will win this game. If we are able to control their running game we will put them into some uncomfortable passing situations. I would expect our secondary to force 2 ints if that is the case. I also think Haushka will get us a couple of long field goals on shorter drives around 30-40 yards against their amazing defence. Bills 19 Jags 13 Bortles 210 yards 0 TDs, 2 ints Fournette 27 carries 80 yards, 1 TD Taylor 175 yards passing, 25 yards rushing, 0TDs 0ints McCoy 15 Carries 60 yards 1 TD 2 minutes ago, Chris66 said: 191 163 100 193 93 rushing yards bills defence has given up last 5 games.rush defense sucks. The Patriots were rushing against a nickel defence, we will be stacking 8 in the box this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
