Two weeks ago I thought the Jaguars were certain tankers and would have a good chance at going 0-16. Watching Brian Flores' play calling from this weekend and looks like I'm picking the Jaguars to go 2-1.
He tried to play the Patriots strategy, man coverage all over the field and Bills receivers were wide open all game.
The Bills didn't even have to change up their play calling. Just run crossing routes every play and both receivers will be open every play.
Dawson Knox fumbles on this one but look at all that space.
I'm only in the second quarter.
It's compounded by no pass rush meaning the QB can actually just wait for WRs to come open. McKenzie runs a shallow drag on this play but turns upfield after completing the route. He's wide open at that point.
Oh my god.
They changed up the coverage and still couldn't cover the crossers. Allen doesn't see the wide open touchdown but gets 15 yards throwing to the triple-covered WR who is open.
Box score numbers are never relevant to anything but if he can hit this throw at least semi-competently, last year he couldn't hit it at all, it'll be a huge step up over last season.
These cornerbacks are probably getting rinsed in meetings this week but they've gotta turn around to the coach and ask what he expects when they're expected to cover the whole damn field one-on-one.
The very next play.
Josh Allen went 0/8 on 40+ yard throws in 2019. He was 2/10 for his career entering this game. This was his first accurate 40+ yard throw since his rookie season:
