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...
Mikie2times Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 -Josh will throw it to the other team -We need 37 running backs because all of them suck -We only have one WR worth a sh!t but none that will run block -We use two Tight Ends so we can get single TE production -Spencer Brown -The DL is showing some improvement in the 7th year together -Bernard looks like Josh Dobbs with your little brothers facial hair -Jordan Poyer played well in our comeback win against Houston 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...

With the sushi beatdown and all the amazing stats I've seen over the past couple days plus the analysis videos (thanks Cover 1!) I'm pretty freaking in the clouds. Problem is, almost every time I get to this point, we lay an egg in the next game. But, when I feel like there's a good chance we'll lose or that a win is going to be much tougher than it has any right to be, we usually win. So humble my old @&$, why are the Bills going to lose Sunday? I already know that Diggs doesn't move on run plays. Things are different now than before. We don't have a soft bend don't break defense anymore like we had under Frazier. Dorsey and Allen seem to be on the same page and understanding how to balance aggression and smart take what they give you football. So I think we are going to see this hold this time as along as we avoid critical injuries. 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...

We won't win them all. It's ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which I think is a combo of upgrades on the line and guys being healthy along with the more efficient offense where we aren't holding the ball as long aggressively trying to push downfield as frequently. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah clearly the upgrades specifically the rookie who's been beyond killing it and McGovern playing so well. Just what the Oline needed for sure. Hopefully they all stay healthy for the most part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
