Jet Lag Or Just Another Slumbering Loss?

Then you're just "built different" I suppose.

 

Taking it from someone that was actually on the field; in the post game interview Travis ETN talked about the difference in how he felt last week vs this week with the jet lag. Said it was a HUGE impact. I believe it. Last week both the Falcons and Jags looked awful as well. 

 

Most likely he just doesn't realize it.  Sometimes the body can compensate for a while but then if pushed more than it can compensate the effects become clear pretty quickly.

Look anyone could see they were off with the 3 and outs in the first quarter and a half. Anyone who says travel doesn’t play a factor is fooling themselves. By the time the Bills got their legs they were down 2 scores to a team that had a full 10 days and had already played a game there. 
The game was decided on two things Kair Elam was a turnstile and the Jags could run the ball and the Bills couldn’t.

 

I don’t know what gets in Ken Dorseys head to keep running out of the shotgun but it may cost him his job in the long run.

I agree with this and will add. Dorsey called an awesome game in Miami, best one yet. 35% play action. In this game he ran play action on an astonishing 5 plays. How many more failed shotgun handoffs are we going to make?  We run and throw better, when Josh is under center.

 

Don’t you find it weird that in almost every game there is a statistic showing how deadly Josh is on play-action / designed roll out plays but there’s some games it’s minimal to non existent? Josh is absolutely THE BEST QB @ play action right now. The stats prove it. 

 

I get the old adage; You need a run game to set up the play action. Do you though? 
 

Let’s say you have 70 plays in a game, the first play on offense you call is a run and the remaining 69 are all play action… I’d go out on a limb and say if in previous games you have a personnel grouping or formation you’ve had success running the ball from, that during points in current game you run PA from, you will have at least some success.  There’s tape these guys watch that predicate a lot of their reactions. Play off it. 
 

Just a very odd game for the first 2 quarters by the O.
