Bortles sucks and they can't come from behind, same as the Bills This is what im thinking. We cant fall behind. The team who gets a 14 -17 lead on the other will win. None of these teams can comeback like Frank Reich vs Houston.
Bleeding Bills Blue Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 They def beat up on the cupcakes. However they did beat pitt and should have beaten the Rams. When they're bottled up on O and the turnovers don't come is when they struggle.
BuffaloHokie13 Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 He's still upset that the Bills beat the Broncos.
Woodman19 Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 While I think this prediction is a little bit over the top, I do feel most Bills fans are raising expectations too high for this game. Jacksonville has had an absolutely fantastic defense and its not like we are known as being a strong offensive team. Coupled with the fact that they also run the ball well and we have struggled to contain the run for most of the season. It will be a close game but I expect to be as frustrated as I was watching the Bengals game.

This is true, but it also true that the Bills beat two playoff teams on the road whom they were underdogs to by more than 7 points. Another true fact: Marrone is a mediocre coach with no playoff experience, whose team has laid an egg the last two weeks. If the Bills can keep the Jags running game to under 4 yards per carry, they win this game IMO.
K-9 Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 Comes down to which team can score on defense because both offenses leave a bit to be desired.

Peace Frog Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 Turnovers & 3rd downs. That's what it's all about. 1

OCinBuffalo Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 (edited) Has this guy watched Jacksonville film the last 4 weeks?I have. They aren't good enough to put up 44 on anybody, because barring a Jets QB-like(Buttfumble, Gino Smith going 1-3 to his guys, and 2-3 to ours) total meltdown, there simply isn't enough time in a game for them to score that much. They might be able to reach 44 if games lasted 2 hours. It's not just what they run on O(variations of the same small chunks O we saw here), but how they run it(repeatedly), that all but prevents Jacksonville from scoring at anywhere near the pace they need to put up 34 points, never mind 44. Thus the only path to 44, or 34, or really, 24, for Jacksonville runs through: help from the other team's offense, and, to a lesser extent, kicking game. This can be due to my own visual bias: I don't have hard #s, yet, but given what I have watched, I'd guess that a team that doesn't help them with turnovers, has ~65-70% chance to win. And, that a team that gets ahead of them by 2 scores has a ~90% chance to win. When I get time tonight, I'm gonna do this math, and create a "help propensity stat" that should make things clear as to whether my swaggy % is right or wrong. As well, I'll do a "comeback propensity". Edited January 5, 2018 by OCinBuffalo

More Bills hatred. https://www.milehighreport.com/2018/1/3/16844984/nfl-playoff-predictions-wild-card Buffalo Bills at Jacksonville Jaguars When: Sunday, January 7th at 11:05 a.m. The Jaguars have the best defense in the NFL and it’s not even close. They should devour a weak Bills team that backdoored their way into the playoffs for the first time this century. I expect this game to be the biggest blowout of them all. Good for Malik Jackson to be back to playoff football before the team he left could get back to playoff football. Jaguars 44, Bills 17 The Bills have largely been the darlings of the NFL for the past few days. I see this as a horrible prediction, not more Bills hatred. 1

We exceeded expectations on several games we blew chunks on others.......this game is winnable but some STELLAR performances need to be turned in by the Bills or is very well could turn into a ROUT!! 27 minutes ago, OCinBuffalo said: Has this guy watched Jacksonville film the last 4 weeks?I have.

BUT - if the D tackles responsibly, bends but doesn't break, there is a chance for an upset and lets face it - a win would be an upset. 1

billsredneck1 Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 not sure what the point spread is but if it's the jags by 9 or more, my money's on the bills. i think it's going to be an exciting 3-4 point game...just not sure who has the 3-4 point victory. 1
LABILLBACKER Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 2 hours ago, smuvtalker said: This. One thing we can pretty much count on is that Tyrod's not gonna turn the ball over. IF we can contain Fournette, and force the Jags to have to throw, Bortles is good for at least two picks. Not only that, but McDermott will have this team prepared to play. This game won't be a blowout by any stretch of the imagination. I see a Bills victory in fact. The problem is we rarely turn the interceptions into tds....
