Bills vs Jags Postgame thread

[Virgil]

To me, the score is all that matters.  11 points through 3 quarters was amazing with their injuries. 
 

I don’t blame them at all for wearing down in the end.  

[Johnnycage46]

I think they did what they could to hold the water back but they were on the field ALL day and eventually the damn broke.  The offense kept putting them right back on the field.  If a couple of Bills drives went for even FGs, who know what happens with the D's energy/freshness.

But the Jags were moving the ball all day, not just at the end.

There was nothing awful about the Bills defense today.

 

The picture of the day I will carry with me is AJ Epenesa sucking oxygen on the sidelines because our offense couldn’t do a damned thing for 3 quarters.

[Process]

At no point were they awful. Literally missing 5 starters. 

 

This one is on the offense. The defense gave them so many chances in the second half.

Moving the ball without scoring points is a loss for the offense. Would have been nice to get off the field more, but the Defense kept us in a position to win for most of the game. The Offense never showed up.

I think Elam is better in short space like the RZ. He isn’t a corner who can hang with a #1 for 2.5+ seconds. Like the Bills help RT Spencer Brown out with extra blockers, the Bills need to use a Safety to help out Elam.

I mean HERE is a legitimate beef. They stuck with the run game waaaaaay too long 

Not so sure about that. It was the scheme that seemed to be the issue. Constantly running out of the shotgun. Not very creative. No threat to run on run downs too. No coach here but it looked pretty uncreative to this fan's eyes.

McDermott is going nowhere.

May want to come to terms with that 

True but for those of us that have been saying he’s ultimately holding us back, we can accept it but we don’t have to like it.

Overall I think the D played well given the circumstances.

 

But the last two drives, I think you have to find a way to make one stop.

 

Even if it’s a TD, FG. 
 

Just had to give your offence one more chance to tie it

Got a feeling there’s going to be much more drama off the field in regards to Pegula’s past statements and sentiments then there is attention to the team.  Whether or not Kim had a prenup or has one and if she can regain the team control as she’s been the major contributing factors towards the teams success.  Think the cardiac episode is from when this first slowly started making the rounds and she realized what she married.

The NFL is really weird. The Texans, who are currently only leading 9-7 in Atlanta, beat this same Jags team in Jacksonville 37-17.

What more do you want corporate Josh to do? The guy put the team on his back again in the second half 

🤣

Agreed.  That had to be super frustrating for the D.  They played their asses off and the offense did nothing when it mattered.

anytime someone tells you to calm down it's only one game early in the season, tell them to get back to you when they're playing a playoff game in arrowhead once again.

 

mcdermott isn't good enough, dorsey is just plain bad. this franchise is going to waste allen's entire career flipping the field with pansy ass punts.

Bye-bye, bandwagon fan.

That’s the difference between a good defense and a great defense. Good defense can get you to the 3rd and have you in position to win. Great defense can go the whole game and win it for you. 
 

bills defense, even early, couldn’t get off the field on third down. They overachieved based on injuries, but they didn’t have a great game.  

[Bangarang]

Benford

Tre

Jones

Groot

Milano

Lawson

 

The defense played great considering all the injuries

Daquan Jones went out after the 1st drive, then Milano went down. So losing two players right off the bat is going to cause issues. They played bend don't break and honestly it worked but the offense couldn't stay on the field and the defense got gassed.

Agreed. It's a complimentary game. When your offense is asleep at the wheel for lengthy stretches it's going to take a toll even on a healthy defense. The plays run disparity was ridiculous

Yeah, ideally, but what about the other 5 or 6 stops made by the D?  Offense needs to show up during the meat of the game, not when it's too late.
