Bills still miffed over refs in last year’s loss to Jaguars
You drop back and wait a second and take off because nobody’s looking at you. He will have his snaps monitored after offensive coordinator Anthony Lynn said Watkins’ conditioning wasn’t quite up to par, but he could be in line for some nice production down the stretch once he gets his legs back.
“I don’t want to place any number on it, will he get more or less or whatever”, the coach said.
“There’s going to be games where you stall but you have to be disciplined and not turn the ball over during that process to figure out what they’re doing”, Taylor said.
It provided a boost to Buffalo’s defense, too.
“It’s like we’re back”, said cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman. The defensive back appeared to get a hand on Robinson to prevent him from turning his body to make the catch, and the ball was incomplete.
Why? The rest of this Bills team is flawed, and Sunday’s game continued to prove it.
Bradley opted to go for it on fourth-and-4, but the Jaguars were called for a delay of game, a critical error. However, as good as Dareus and the Bills were at getting to the quarterback, stopping the run what a whole different question in this one.
At 6-5, the Bills are still sitting behind several teams in the AFC playoff race and have a tough task ahead when they will travel to take on the AFC West-leading Oakland Raiders (9-2) next Sunday. And they did so by blowing a fourth-quarter lead for the third time this season. “(And) you know it always comes down to mistakes, penalties and not executing when we should and that’s kind of been just the story from our losses”. “I’m just saying that in order to respond to that, I would like to have (McAulay’s crew) again and show them we’re just better. Those were the things that we were able to fix and get off the field”.
This isn’t considered progress for a third-year player in Bortles, who has 64 touchdowns versus 48 interceptions, or the Jaguars, who haven’t won more than five games since 2010. While the Jaguars have been losing, their last three games were decided by one score.
Injuries, however, became an issue.
“You have to overcome those plays”, Bradley said.
The Bills got the win over the Bengals last week, but it came at a cost; both LeSean McCoy and Robert Woods suffered injuries in the game.
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Sammy Watkins will make his long-awaited return this Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
“Might as well just keep talking then”, he said.
Next, he kept drives alive by making good decisions.
The Jaguars snapped the NFL’s longest active drought by scoring on their opening possession for the first time in 25 games.
Brandon Tate’s 43-yard punt return before half that led to McCoy’s first TD and his SportsCenter beauty to open the second half got the Bills pointed in the right direction.
JAGUARS RB Chris Ivory had only 17-39 rushing, but he had 6-75 receiving on 6 targets in Week 11 loss.
Buffalo faces a mistake-prone Jaguars offense that leads the National Football League with 22 giveaways, including 13 interceptions by Blake Bortles, and has topped 24 points just once this season. The first real sign of offense for the Bills would not revel itself until late in the second quarter. He then missed three more games when he suffered a hamstring injury in his first week of practice after the suspension.
