folz Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 The Jaguars are a bit of a nemesis. In just their second year in the league (1996), they beat the Bills in an AFC Wild Card game, knocking Jim Kelly unconscious (out of the game) and basically ending his career and the run of that SB-era Bills team. They also knocked us out of the playoffs in the 2017/18 Wild Card round (the start of McD's tenure and the end of Tyrod Taylor's) with a horrendous 10-3 score/game. The last time we played them, we only scored 6 points. The last time we played them in London we lost. The overall record between the teams is 9-9. But they have won 3 of the last 5. Never take the Jags lightly. They have found ways to sneak out wins against superior Buffalo teams. Did that help? However, the Bills ARE still the more talented, versatile, and seasoned team. They should be able to take this one as long as they show up to play (don't have a hangover from either the Dolphins win or the travel/time change). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah John Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 My brother keeps reminding me that what we do or say or think has no bearing on how the Bills play. Hmm. I don't believe him, of course. So I promise to be as pessimistic as possible until Sunday, to help counter nuiwek's good/bad vibes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 I think they'll be prepared as best as you can be in that situation. I hate to see lag as an added excuse for a bad game. no game should be taken lightly, I trust the Oline to keep doing what they have been doing both in the pass and run game. if von starts, the D is going to be even at another level.

Magox Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Jacksonville has been there for over a week now so their bodies should be more acclimated than the Bills. That could give them an advantage when it comes to who has more bounce to their steps. Also, Jacksonville has a really good CB in Tyson Campbell, he's been playing very well and that could pose an issue for Diggs. Their defense played very well against us the last time we played. Their defensive line is stout against the run. They also have Josh Allen who played a great game last time we played and he's been balling out this year. There are definitely things that they can point to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somnus00 Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 2 hours ago, Einstein said: The problem with Jacksonville is they have Josh Allen too. And when Josh Allen faces Josh Allen it creates a bubble in the very fabric of spacetime which confobulates the time continuum, resulting in scenarios where even Urban Meyer can beat us. in this dimension ducks might wear top hats, fish might serenade the moon with love songs, and Sean McDermott is a humble flea merchant. Trust me, i'm Einstein. This is a well known postulate of the Time Cop Theorem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan89 Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 The Jags having been in London and being a decent team make me worried about a "funky" game happening. Teams come out flat esp in more odd circumstances (Thursday games or odd travel games like the London game) so the Bills if they come out a bit "flat" they will be in a tight game. Bills are rolling but that's what concerns me about this game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

947 Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 In the infamous 9-6 loss to the Jags in 2021, we had also just beat Miami the previous week, and were flying high at 6-2. The Jags were 1-6 at the time. Our Josh threw 2 picks & lost fumble on a sack by their Josh. Crazy things happen to us. After typing this out, I'm actually finding myself more nervous about this game than the Miami game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goin Breakdown Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Well jags will get their left tackle back. That will swing the game in their favor big time. Plus Calvin Ridley is bound to get on the same page with Lawrence so I'd imagine it's this game because Buffalo will be sleepy. Groot stubbed his toe and Josh is in commercials.

Also, we often relied on Josh's heroics to win games. It was almost as if Beane said, "We don't need no friggin' offensive line or running attack. We have a freak for a QB!" This year, so far (disregarding the Jets game), Josh has been protected well and the running attack has been good. It's starting to look like an offense that can sustain its success. Josh just needs to be good, and he's very good. He doesn't need to be superhuman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelius Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Man where are the normal troll dopes for this? They've completely scattered after that beatdown, come back you roaches. Week 1 you would have had a dozen more sky is falling replies by now. Interesting that demolishing the Fish of all teams wiped the board clean, I really thought most were Pats fans. Anyway, we always have trouble with Jacksonville but I'm also a little bit concerned with all of the talk of acclimation, both here and on Twitter, as if the Bills are already fighting from behind just because the Jags have been there for awhile. Makes a bit of sense I guess, although I assume these pros have other professionals getting them ready by the minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
