boyst Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) i didn't watch a lick of the game yesterday. i cashed in my chips after the Bills game and the bad calls, not to mention the other bad calls that weekend. and haven't watched a single piece of football except for highlights i stumble across online or in the news. i still haven't seen diggs big touchdwon I'm done for the season and found better things to do with my days than the NFL for the remainder of the year. but... 1) the jaguars defense is the most mechanical defense i've ever seen and able to run things so schematically correct that they are able to stop other teams. that they give up chunks of yards and are not perfect is obvious. they're not perfect. dareus isn't doing them the justice they hoped. they need an outside pass rusher - a Jerry Hughes 2014 type. but, they're damn good enough to beat the patriots offense hands down and will give the patriots a fit. 2) their offense was solid in the game against us, the only game i watched them play and i believe i saw enough in that game to know they can win ball games including the super bowl. they're not much different than the vikings or whoever won between phili and atlanta. every team out there is on borrowed time and there is no reason to think that the jags are any different. c) marrone is a puppet to the team lead by coordinators and spearheaded by coughlin. his influence is all over that team and you'd wonder why his coordinators are not receiving any attention. hacket runs the offense. he does a damn good job of it with the players able to run the scheme he wants. he didn't ahve that in buffalo i wanted marrone to stay. give him one more year. negotiate a contract with him that is a prove it deal for one year if he wanted out. if he gets us in to the playoffs that year - and he would have - i'd be fine paying him. 4) i have only seen one jaguars game all season and about 6 patriots games. i say jaguars by +3.5.

Buffalo_Stampede Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 They said Marrone was the next Parcells, so far that comparison is very accurate.
John from Riverside Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 Im not gonna blame Marrone for lucking into a team that was picking in the blue chip draft selections for years........but the jags didnt win that game....the steelers lost it.

Yep. The truth is that during the regular season this year, the Jags beat exactly ONE team that made it to the playoffs (the Steelers). Their schedule was very weak this year, thus their "great" defense is a bit of a mirage. To wit, giving up 545 yards and 42 points in a playoff game. Did the great defenses of yesteryear of the Ravens, or the Bears, or the Steel Curtain ever do that (or even close to that)? I doubt it.
Malazan Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 Glad we have another thread about this that offers no new insight or anything of value in the OP

Are you suggesting that Houston x2 (with Savage and TJ Yates starting), Indy x2, and the Browns might have padded those defensive stats a smidge?

All we need is a better QB and we could of destroyed the Jags in jax. We held them to 10 points and missed plenty of opportunity to win that game SO the power of transitive relations we would beat Pittsburgh as well (with sed phantom QB)... Of course insert phantom QB and we beat NE at least once this year as well, and don't crap out on TNF against the Jets, and Peterman never puts up a dud in San Diego Life is for good us Bills fans. You just have to look for the angles The NFL just doesn't work like that. It's a week to week league. A performance once week does not guarantee the same performance the next week. How many times do we have to go over this on this board before people start understanding this concept?
