The Jags are a tougher matchup for the bills in the run game than the pats were. I'm not clear how that's "primed to play right into your opportunistic defense."

The take there is for one the Patriots have our number. There is no doubt about that. Belichick just knows how to beat us.

We got a rare pick six from Brady that game. I think your weakness is in Bortles doing something similar but not recovering as well as Brady can. If we can force Bortles to throw, I think that is a matchup in our favor.

That is a pretty big "if" given the rate at which your team concedes first downs and TDs on the ground. 

Bortles threw the ball 14 times against the squealers and we wrecked them with the run and forced turnovers. 
While that game is an extreme case statistically - it shows how the Jags are a bad match-up for the bills as you'll need to capitalize on Bortles' mistakes.  The problem is  - he may not need to be exposed to mistake-prone situations for the Jags to score. He can just take a few play action shots here and there , make some safe throws over the middle, and let the run game do it's thing.
