They should be upset, but the loss means much less to them than the win does to the Jags.

Don't be tooo sure about that.

The loss puts Buffalo at 5-3.  They are now currently 4th in conference seeding, effectively two games behind Tennessee and due to conference record, behind the other divisional leaders.

If they somehow manage to fall to second place in their division, they would effectively fall a game behind the Steelers because they lost head to head.

Granted, there is still a TON of football left to play, and the remainder of their schedule is pillow soft.

But the loss to us is a loss that can bite them in the butt in a major way when it comes to tie breakers.

Furthermore, the loss to us may have exposed the Bills' weaknesses.  Their OL was flat out whipped by our front 7.  Furthermore, the Bills either can't or won't run the ball.  But the fact their passing game could get shut down so completely should be alarming to them.

All of this is happening in a year they are supposed to be the leading AFC contenders, and it has to be of major concern to the Bills.

This win could give the Jaguars a boost going forward, but given how good this Bills team is supposed to be, this could derail a Super Bowl season for them.

Yeah, with the Pats getting better each week it seems it's no small deal that the Bills dropped a game especially to an AFC opponent.

The win is nice for this bad team but I dont see it launching us into a 96 type run.
But the loss for the bills can certainly send them reeling, especially if they [BLEEP] the bed vs the jests today
