WideRightRevenge Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 I think this is the most telling thing of last weekend's games. The Jags demolished Pittsburgh at Pittsburgh offensively and our D went down to Duval County the week prior (along with a lot of Bills Mafia support) and held the home team to 10 points and Blake Bortles ran more than Fornette who averaged 2.7 yards per carry against us.
bmur66 Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 And the Vaunted Jacksonville D gave up 45 points to the Steelers where the Bills could only put up 3. 4
Jobot Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 Lol so you're saying those were difficult throws that Bortles missed? The Bills D didn't play bad... but the Jags should easily have put up 20+ pts.

RobH063 Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 Have you ever heard the phrase "On any given Sunday"? With your logic, if Team A beats team B, and team B beats team C, then team A should always beat team C. It doesn't work that way. 3

BillsFan130 Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) Well those 2 games showed me 3 things in regards to your statement 1. Steelers defence is awful 2. Bills defence is good 3. Bortles was way better against Pittsburgh Edited January 17, 2018 by billsfan11
DC Tom Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 No, Bortles' complete inability to hit the side of a barn from the inside held the Jags to 10 points. He had multiple passes hit the ground 5 yards ahead of his receivers.
Malazan Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 I like cheese puffs. This statement is relevant to this thread.

Twice this season he put too much attention on them. 1

Big Turk Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 Its a week to week league. A performance one week does not guarantee the same performance the next week. Why can't people get this basic concept through their heads? Holding a team to 10 points one week doesn't mean if you played them the next week you would have done it again. Its simply a 1 game snapshot and doesn't mean much of anything on how the team will perform the following week. 1

MY GOD WAS BORTLES BAD. plenty of open wr's and he's one hopping balls 5 to 10 yds away from them. it was awful. he hit those throws against pitt and it made them loosen up against the run quite a bit. 1
