Jaguars Primer

1. Stop/slow their run game and force Bortles to beat you. (duh)
2. Beat their defense with the run. If you get behind and have to pass, you're toast.

The Titans, Rams and Jets all beat the Jags because they ran it down their throats and slowed Fournette. Nobody has beaten them yet with a big game from their QB. In fact, the Jags have far and away the best pass defense in the league, allowing an abysmal 62.3 passer rating to opponents. For comparison, our defense is the 2nd best in the league, allowing an 81.2 passer rating. On top of this, the Jags are 1st in sacks.

In short, this is a nightmare game - on the road - for Dalton. Especially with this o-line.

However, the Jags are 26th in rush yards allowed and dead last in yards per carry allowed.

Translation: We need to run, run and run some more. It will be interesting to see if our 30th ranked rush offense (both in yards and YPC) can bring anything against the worst rush defense in the league. It's like the very stoppable force against the very movable object.

The good news is that our defense - despite the poor game against old man Gore - is still ranked 11th in yards per carry allowed. They're capable of slowing Fournette, and if they do, they'll eat Bortles alive. So much depends on our run game being able to carry the offense (how often does that ever happen for us?), and giving our defense a breather so they can keep up against Fournette.

Thoughts?

I was about to start a thread stating the same observation (what is it they say about great minds?).  The bottom line is that in their three losses, they got pounded in the running game.  The Bengals can't abandon the run and need to keep feeding Mixon and Gio.  Maybe even Ross and Malone can get in the mix on end-arounds.

That was, however, before they got Dareus...who is probably itching to show Buffalo what a mistake they made.  

This is the make or break game of the season.  Find a way to win it, and you are still very much alive.  Lose, and the season is over.
