I know this is far from being our only problem but since Gus, Bortles and the staff kept repeating all offseason that they worked hard to start fast in games and take the lead I think the stat below just is a perfect exemple of the failure this season has been.

:yes:
I can't get over how bad Blake is sometimes.


2 misses for WIDE OPEN TDS. A pick 6 that looks like rookie Blake and a pass he was trying to throw into the dirt goes off Yeldons foot for an interception.


Blake can't hit receivers downfield in stride. He still throws ducks and the receivers know it.

Receivers have to be fed up with this. They HAVE TO BE, right?


I know, they all like to stick with their man. But geez, having to make circus attempts 50% of the time,, catching wobbling ducks,, getting led into crunching hits over the middle,, beating their man deep only to watch a ball that is nowhere close to them,, trying to catch a 100mph fastball from 5-10 yards away,,watching idiotic turnovers just kill a drive,,,,,,,,,,,


it has to be wearing/worn thin on them by now.
