TFBillsfan Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Great win by our Bills over the Dolphins. Now the focus shifts to the Jags who have weapons on offense and a D that the have Bills struggled against in the past. Hopefully outside of Tre, everyone is healthy. Even though Von is back practicing I don’t expect he will active on game day for a few more weeks. Why rush it if we don’t need him right now. Hoping the Bills D makes Trevor uncomfortable with pressure and shuts down their running game. Offensively, keep doing what you’ve been doing, play smart, physical and protect the ball. Lets not give Jax any hope and get out of England with a W. 12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoonerBillsFan Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 It's a trap game. They always play us tough and we are coming off a high.

This is an evolutionary step,we need to beat a team we should beat coming off a game like the fins. Your weekly reminder that there is no such thing as a trap game, it’s figment of fan’s anxiety and the data prove it doesn’t exist. That being said, Jags won their division last year and even if they didn’t there are MANY players on this team who remember losing to Jax when they sucked. I don’t think this team over looks anyone. They are all business this year and it’s great to see. I expect a closer game than Miami but we will take care of business. I’d like to see improvement on the D side in shutting down the run game better. On O, I expect more of the same balanced attack and Allen playing within the scheme.

DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Who has to step up for Bills after Tre'Davious White's Achilles tear? espn.com/blog/buffalo-bills Who's next at outside corner without White? The top candidates to start without White are Benford and 2020 seventh-round pick Dane Jackson with Elam next in line to compete based on the start to the season. Jackson started 14 games in 2022. He led the team last season in the most passes defensed as the nearest defender (12) and allowed just 1.6 yards after catch per reception as the nearest defender, lowest among the team’s cornerbacks who saw significant playing time. Jackson allowed a 62% completion percentage as the nearest defender (team average was 66.2%), three touchdowns and had two interceptions. “I think when there's good competition it makes it hard, right? There's no free passes here,” McDermott said. “You got to know how to do things no matter where you're picked or what you're paid -- you've got to earn your spot. And just because [Elam] hasn't been active doesn't mean that we're not confident in Kaiir. We are extremely confident in Kaiir. To this point just a few players have outperformed him. So now is his chance. 8 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackbeard Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Bills win this one soundly. Jags are very pedestrian. AND, i'm going against the grain here, and saying the location is a disadvantage for the Jags. Yes, they're familiar now with the stadium, etc., but being away from home that long messes with routine. Bills by 20. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heavy Kevi Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 It's Just Another Game But it's across the pond in the land of no dentists. Jags have been chilling over there waiting for us. Neutral field. I think we still get it done! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just force yourself to go to bed at the normal time regardless of how early it feels and then it's gone the next day. Use a sedative if you have to. Now, anything over 8 hours is a whole other thing. That takes days. When I went to Asia in the past, I would go nocturnal for a few days before departure to ease the transition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low Positive Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 For all the people talking about the 2021 Jags game, remember that this is an entirely new coaching staff for Jacksonville with new schemes. And they are a much better team that I'm sure that the Bills won't "look past." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott7975 Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 I'm not worried about the Jags. I don't care that we played like crap and barely lost to them two years ago. I also don't care that they won a terrible division at 9-8 last year. The Jags are overhyped. All this team needs to do is prepare like they have been and play like they are capable of.

DrDawkinstein Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 (edited) The friggin Jags. Feels like its been DECADES of dealing with this crap team and getting burnt way too many times. Time to exorcise those demons and dominate. Hoping to see the same Bills team from the last 3 weeks and not the one that somehow always plays down to the Jags. Want to see a big day out of OUR Josh Allen, and not hear about THEIR Josh Allen for once. Edited October 4, 2023 by DrDawkinstein 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boco357 Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 (edited) Worried about the travel and Jags have extra time there. I hope Josh is still pissed about that 6-3 game still a few years ago, he seems to have a long memory. I also worry about Etienne as Bills seem to struggle with those faster backs(Breece Hall, Achane). Edited October 3, 2023 by boco357 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DapperCam Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Bills should win, but this isn’t a gimme. Jags won a playoff game last year with largely the same roster. Other Josh Allen is a great player and we should use the same game plan we did for Crosby vs the Raiders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
