The heat in Jax alone makes us an underdog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Yeah, cause they've proven that they're just that overwhelmingly good. The heat in Jax alone makes us an underdog. Agreed. This will be a stern test for the O-line, particularly if Peters plays (I'm not convinced he's in game shape yet). The D and ST will have to put points on the board as it's never easy to beat a team in their home opener in 90 degree heat.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDS Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 if the line is 7, that means Vegas is begging people to take the Bills. Therefore they think Jags in romp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defender51 Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Jacksonville is dangerous. I know you're thinking that the Jags are just gonna lay down because they are missing some o-lineman. I'll bet you're also thinking that the Pats are gonna suck because Tom Brady is hurt. I'll bet last year you were saying that Tom Brady is overrated because anyone can throw to those weapons. Think hard. Search your feelings..you know this to be true. Bottom line is that you can't take a Super Bowl contender one week and then discount them the next because they are missing some guys. The Jags have proven something lately.....we have not. Don't underestimate them or overestimate the Bills. 31-0 in 2003's home opener ring any bells for you?

The Jags have proven something lately.....we have not. Don't underestimate them or overestimate the Bills. 31-0 in 2003's home opener ring any bells for you? Last year is last year. Both the Bills and Jags are different teams. The Jags were superbowl contenders before anybody even saw them play a game. This season, the Bills look to have taken a step forward, whereas the Jags seem to have regressed slightly. Jax failed to adequately address their glaring need for receiving talent(Jerry Porter is not a fix and he can't even stay healthy) and they lost the core of their offensive line to the injury bug. I'm not saying the Bills will win in a blowout, it's common knowledge that the Jax D is tough. We may have some problems getting the offense into a solid rhythm. But, it is a commonly held perception that games are won and lost in the trenches, along the offensive and defensive line. In this battle we win hands down, even if Peters doesn't play. I billieve Jax will have a tough time running the ball against our front four with the injuries they've sustained and have a lot of trouble protecting Garrard, which will be a big help to our DBs(who, in my opinion, already overmatch the Jaguars' receiving corps). My call is a fairly tight one: BUF 24 -JAX 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedy G Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Peter King dosent realize that playing in the heat for teams from the northeast only matters later in the season, they've all been practicing in the heat for 2 months now so they are used to it.

kota Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 The Jags defense is still healthy. The Bills are going to need a ST or Defensive TD to win this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrB1onde Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 I don't see the Jags putting 30 points on the board against this Bills defense, particularly with the Jags O-Line in such bad shape. If the Bills lose I think it will be more like 20-17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you only have 1 game to go on. I'm a firm believer in waiting after at least 3-4 games before we have a good assessment of any team. Remember, they did beat a banged-up Seattle team at home. This game is a test. Jacksonville is still a physical team and while I agree with King that it couldn't have been a fun week in Jags practice, I don't think we're seeing a 30-16 game. I see a tight, low-scoring game...like a 17-13 or 20-17 final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biglukes Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 The D-bags Trey Wingo and Schlereth picked the Jags no contest on Cowherd today. Then the very next pick they both agreed that the Jets were beating New England handily. I swear these people are on crack sometimes. At least John Clayton thinks we have a legit shot. Today on WGR he said that the Jags were in trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cale Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 I don't see the Jags putting 30 points on the board against this Bills defense, particularly with the Jags O-Line in such bad shape. If the Bills lose I think it will be more like 20-17. Like our team this year. But our O makes me nervous - still. We can't spot this team 7 possessions and expect to come out ahead. They have a killer running game. Our big guys on the O-line could wilt in the heat. Our WRs need to step up. Edwards needs to get the "cobwebs out" *before* the game. Or he's gonna be getting foggy during the game. I think our D is gonna be the difference maker. But our O can't lose it for us. Our O-line is huge and their Dline is fast and in better condition for that heat. That's an almost even match up. Special teams can kill them too - but they have to be in condition to beat the heat.

I see a tight, low-scoring game...like a 17-13 or 20-17 final. I also agree that to be really accurate with analysis and predictions, we need at least 3 weeks of action to review. I am simply making the best analysis I can based on the info I have. But as far as Senor King, where he got the idea that the Jags are that much better than the Bills baffles me. As you said, there is only 1 week of data to go on. In that 1 week, what did JAX do to show that they are 2-touchdown favorites over our Bills? If I recall correctly, they gained 189 yards(only 33 of which were rushing) and surrendered 309 yards(137 of which were rushing). The Bills D is just as solid as(if not better than) the Titans', and the running game is most definitely better that the Titans'. Where in those stats do you see a 14 point loss and giving up 30?

The Bills are in no position to overlook anyone. They are a promising team and I expect good things from Buffalo this year, but they are in no position to overlook ANY opponent. The Bills can beat any team they properly prepare for, but can lose to any team they don't. Gotta play the games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerball Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 I have to admit I am nervous... but then again I am nervous every week. I'm not sure how much damage their offense can do against us, but I expect their defense to be fired up. We have to be patient on offense and rely on ST and defense to win this game.
