Hold off on investing any excitement in Sammy Watkins just yet
Coach Rex Ryan said Watkins will play this week and the Bills desperately need a pass-catcher with Robert Woods (knee) sidelined.
Just before the end of the third quarter, the Bills retook the lead on a seven-yard scramble by Taylor toward the left half of the end zone to put the Bills up 20-14. The Bills get a huge break when Allen Hurns is wide open and drops a pass that would have been a huge gain. “He can get out of a lot of situations”.
After suffering a setback two weeks into the season which resulted in Watkins being placed on injured reserve the Bills and Watkins are playing it safe when it comes to his full return. The Bills also got a 43-yard punt return from Brandon Tate late in the second quarter to the Jaguars’ 22 to set up their initial touchdown.
It started with McCoy’s career long 75 yard run for a touchdown on the very first offensive play of the third quarter. But one takeaway is that they have not lost by more than a touchdown in a while.
While the Jaguars don’t have much to play for, the Buffalo Bills are trying to make the playoffs in the AFC. He had the bad delay of game penalty and a few missed throws, but overall I wouldn’t say he is a major reason for the loss. “It just keeps our dream alive”.
O, it’s just about kickoff and I just don’t like the feeling for this one.
The game was decided with four minutes left, when the Jaguars were unable to convert a fourth-and-9 at the Buffalo 46.
It wasn’t until the second half that the Bills turned it on offensively and defensively. and still had to stage a final defensive stand to win the game. “I mean, it’s third-and-15”.
I’ve been a vocal critic of the Chris Ivory signing, but on Sunday, he was absolutely phenomenal. You just knew something was going to happen on special teams. The Bills defense struggled and gave up 99 yards rushing in the first half. He was able to catch the ball – he looks good running the ball, but he was able to catch it.
– With three days of practice to his name and the guarded enthusiasm of his head coach, it appears wide receiver Sammy Watkins is ready to play against Jacksonville in some capacity.
Jaguars backup safety Peyton Thompson also has left the game with an ankle injury and his return is questionable.
“We’re encouraged that he has been cleared to participate”, Ryan said. “And that’s what we get graded on”. “We got a big week next week so we got to come out swinging”.
Ryan went on to say that he hopes Week 12’s contest will leave the Jaguars with a sour taste in their mouth. Whether we’re comfortable or not, this is the situation we’re in. “We had rush and coverage going hand-in-hand”.
