lost their cool Red Ed Oliver Jersey , Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills took over.Allen scored the go-ahead touchdown on a 14-yard run in the fourth quarter, and Buffalo beat Jacksonville 24-21 on Sunday in a game marred by a fight that led to the ejections of Fournette and Bills defensive end Shaq Lawson.Fournette put the loss on himself."I take full responsibility for that," he said. "We lost the game. We should've won this game hands down."They might have with the way Fournette was running. He scored twice and had 95 yards rushing before he was thrown out in the third quarter."I have to be a professional. I mean, you can't have that," he said.Allen scored on the first snap of the fourth and also threw a 75-yard touchdown pass to Robert Foster in the opening quarter in his return to the lineup after missing four games with a sprained right throwing elbow. Buffalo (4-7) came off its bye week to win consecutive games for the first time this season.The Jaguars (3-8) dropped their seventh consecutive game in their longest losing streak since a nine-game slide in 2016, which led directly to Gus Bradley being replaced by current coach Doug Marrone.The bad blood between two teams who met in last season's AFC wild-card game boiled over with 2:57 left in the third quarter.Jaguars receiver Donte Moncrief had what was initially ruled a 30-yard TD reception at the left pylon.

That's when Fournette ran across the field to target Lawson.They exchanged punches in the left corner of the end zone on the Bills side of the field before eventually being separated."I don't know, maybe you call it frustration on their part, I'm not sure," Micah Hyde said, not realizing Fournette left his own sideline to get involved."At that time, it was 14-14. No reason for anything on their part especially someone running on to the field when they were on the bench," he said.Even Bills coach Sean McDermott had blood smeared on his hooded sweatshirt."You know what, part of it's mine Andre Reed Jersey Stitched , and part of it's a little bit from the scrum right there. We'll take it," McDermott said. "I was glad that the players supported one another."The game went south for Jacksonville after that.A review negated the touchdown, ruling Moncrief was down at the 1.

I don't know how to describe it," Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey said. "It (stinks) losing over and over and over again."Lack of discipline, injuries and turnovers have combined to scuttle the Jaguars, who were coming off a 20-16 loss to Pittsburgh in which they squandered a 16-0 third-quarter lead."Wins, losses, penalties, things like that, they all reflect on me," Marrone said. "So I guess if you want me to say I have to do a better job, then I do. I just wish I could stop it before it starts."TUNNEL CONFRONTATIONAs Fournette and Lawson were escorted off their respective sidelines Infant Jaquan Johnson Jersey , they met once again just before entering the tunnel. Lawson had to be held back by a Bills official while Fournette was asked to wait 鈥?he was then struck in the left shoulder by a fan, who had reached out from the stands.

As we continue our offseason review, we stick to the offensive line with guard Vladimir Ducasse. Ducasse started the season at left guard but by the time the Buffalo Bills faced the Chicago Bears in Week 9, they had begun tinkering with the offensive line to create a spark. In that game, Ducasse gave up a handful of snaps to rookie Wyatt Teller. Apparently that was enough, as Teller replaced Ducasse the next week. Let’s check in on Ducasse’s 2018 season. Play 1This is an egregious example, so don’t think this is a common occurrence, but Vlad Ducasse’s feet can get him into trouble. In this case, they don’t stop moving Womens Ed Oliver Jersey , which results in Ducasse getting spun around. When to flow, and when to fight back can be an art. Ducasse doesn’t make it work here and elsewhere. Play 2For this play his feet take his lower body too far left to his opponent’s right shoulder. Had Ducasse stayed inside, the block would have completely sealed off his man. That noted, it’s actually pretty impressive that he moves the lane as far as he does like this. Ducasse doesn’t lack for power or athleticism, but little things prevent him from always rising to his potential. Play 3Vlad Ducasse has no one directly in front of him so he elects to help Russell Bodine. A sharp shot with his shoulder is more than enough to give Bodine the edge and Ducasse heads over to assist Dion Dawkins. Ducasse uses his other shoulder with much the same result. This play is a resounding success for Ducasse for both decision making and execution. Play 4Ducasse attempts to lead with his shoulder on this play, also. A quick slide by Deatrich Wise (91) gets him too-close-for-comfort to LeSean McCoy. The shifty Shady gets around Wise, but a slower back or longer developing play would have led to calamity. Well, a worse calamity at any rate. Play 5Ducasse is fast enough to have gotten ahead of the block, but a poor angle and use of arms prevents it from happening. As a result he’s outmaneuvered and both defenders he could have negated are in excellent position to make a play. Athletically, Ducasse seems capable of blocking on the move, but often places himself in awkward scenarios like the above. Play 6If you’re getting by Ducasse one-on-one, it’s probably via a finesse move. A quick swim and Trey Flowers (98) is by Ducasse and in the backfield. This isn’t a problem to the extent that a defensive lineman could do this all day to Ducasse, but it’s absolutely the best way to attack him. A quick change of balance or direction and some work with the hands is the way to go. Play 7Ducasse’s strength lies in his, uh...strength. Put a man in front of Ducasse and dare him to go through the guard and you have a dependable blocker. Ducasse isn’t a mauler and shouldn’t be expected to always drive his opponent backwards. He is a solid anchor and when matched up like this will give the quarterback time to go to work. For this play Cody Ford Jersey , Ducasse gets an early advantage and just keeps driving on Brandon Mebane (92). SummaryVlad Ducasse isn’t a player who’s bad enough to be sent packing without a replacement. With the expectation that several new linemen will be added this offseason, the odds of a replacement coming to Buffalo are pretty darn good, however. Working in his favor, Ducasse has played both left and right guard, which means he can be in the competition for two spots and could also be considered a valuable depth player as a result. Working against Ducasse is the fact that Buffalo has already slotted in Wyatt Teller ahead of him. The biggest factor could be Brian Daboll’s intended scheme. Daboll has gone on record as coveting a variable scheme, where linemen shift game-to-game among blocking concepts. Ducasse’s best asset is his ability to anchor. Beyond that, though, Ducasse struggles, which greatly diminishes his versatility. Is that enough to call it quits with Ducasse? It very well could be.
