Quote:I think the run blocking looked better.
I think the amount of pressure on the QB was troubling, even though the Colts could simply pin their ears back all game.
But I am happy with what I saw of Bortles, Robinson, and Hurns.
The Colts were blitzing on almost every play. A lesser QB would have folded like a cheap tent, but Bortles escaped the rush and kept his eyes downfield. A very encouraging sign. I can't wait to see what he does after a week of preparation as the starter, and when he's not having to sling it on every play being 30 points behind.
Quote:I have never been so excited after a 27 point loss in my entire life.
This is my exact reaction.
Quote:He made the rookie mistakes but still came out and played strong. He has a lot of promise. I don't like him having to go to an away game for his first true start but I guess now is better than later
Definitely. He showed the same promise he did in preseason but with a few mishaps. I was hoping if he didn't start this week that they would wait until PIT in wk 5 but why not. He made it look like a completely different game on offense and, with a little rest, the defense performed slightly better than trash. Start the #BortlesKombat and #BB5 trends for the rest of the season, i know i will be.
The future is now people.
Forget Bortles Kombat. When asked what he thinks of that nickname, he said he does not play the game it refers to.
A few weeks ago somebody else suggested B2 Bomber because of the beautiful touchdown pass to Marqise Lee against the Falcons. I like that one.
So this is what iit is like to have a real NFL QB....amazing

Well, this is what it's like to have a real
rookie quarterback. He still has some issues to work on during his first week as a starter.

I didn't know that but B2 Bomber sounds classic. Let me try it out.....#B2Bomber i can get use to it.

This Rookie is better than any QB we've had since 2007 Garrard.

Hopefully he will be better than Garrard was that year after gelling with the rest of the offense.
