Tyrod doesn't throw much to his WR's. So the real key is shutting down Clay, and stopping McCoy from catching balls out of the backfield. 

The Head Ref for this game worked the Bills opener this season, and his crew really enjoyed seeing yellow all over the field...so those little ticky tack calls could also play a big factor, depending on when they come, and who they are against.

If McCoy plays....

Sunday can’t come soon enough.

Indeed. And our backup/change of pace back was put on IR after the Pats game. So it'll be Tolbert and some guy named Murphy who got his first carries last week.

McCoy said today the injury isn't as bad as he originally thought. Not sure if I believe him...but he's the biggest competitor on the team, and my guess is he'll play through the pain.

Bortles played turnover free football for most of the season. Even in that SF game, the offense put up 33. Against the Titans, they had just unreal bad field position and turned it over 4 times..... still only lost by 5.

Bills are going to need so many things to go in their favor. I’m not saying it can’t happen but the Jags defense is ready. They’re ready to make some noise. I think Fournette is healthy and ready to play like the Leonard before he got hurt. Lee and Hurns are back. The Bills haven’t seen a defense like this since the Chargers game. They won 3 of their last 4 but twice against the Fins and once in a snow storm against the Colts.... in OT.

Jags play turnover free football then they win. If they turn it over and can’t run and special teams plays bad, then they can lose.

Did I hear on the radio today that the Bills offensive line has allowed 47 sacks and the Jags offensive line has given up 24 (4th in league).  On the other hand, the Jags defensive line had 55 sacks and the Bills had 27.

Stats wise that's a good mismatch for the Jags, and getting Cam Robinson back will be huge.  Even at 75% he's a massive step up from Josh Wells.

Not sure how many sacks we've given up, but our o-line isn't the strongest. Our LT has missed most of the season, and I'm really hoping we rebuild the entire right side of the line in the offseason. If we didn't have a mobile QB, the sack numbers would be way worse.
