Year two in Caldwell's scheme has the safeties flowing to the ball a bit better - and guys mostly staying more disciplined in zone coverage.

This will be their real test though. Allen and Diggs are gonna do some work, but can the Jags keep that from turning into a nightmare on the scoreboard? 

I think you have to hold them under 30 points and pray the OL gives TL time to match that through the air.

Fingers crossed.

This game screams of a game we're going to play lights out, force Allen into mistakes, look like the powerhouse on offense we sort of expected and then come out and lay an egg against Indy the following week. Just a Jags thing to do.

If we can rattle Allen early with a pick or fumble he will spiral the rest of the game, it's what he does. The key is to get out fast on defense especially to hit/pressure Allen early. We also historically play Buffalo pretty tough.

It's going to be an interesting game

I'm concerned about the Indy game as well being that we will have been over in London long enough for sleep schedules to fully acclimate to that time zone only to then come back and try to re-acclimate to our normal one.  I think the single game over there allows one to try to stay on east coast time or close to it, but being there a week and a half is gonna be tougher to avoid being jet lagged when they get back.
