I tried to explain this to people who are nitpicking Bortles INT's. Jags have taken a HUGE step forward offensively this year. However, they continue to get worse defensively. Tom Brady, Joe Montana, Joe Nameth.....NO ONE is winning with this defense.
Gus Bradley has proven that he doesn't know what he's doing defensively. When you look at playoff teams, check out their defensive points per game they give up. Jags are FAR AWAY from even thinking about contending until they get a defense.
If we can just add one more td+missed extra point and fg we would be undefeated.

There has never been an NFL team to make the playoffs in history that's given up 27-30 points per game. That's what Gus Bradley has done the past 40 games.
Next season is our season. 2016-2017. The D will be improved just like the offense this year. "WE BELIEVE IN VICTORY! (100 times)
Bortles, Greg Olson, and Doug Marrone = offense fixed
Now what about the defense? Gus is clueless on how to fix.

The offense is improved, but i wouldn't say fixed is the right word. They still have a good bit of room to improve.
Bortles still gets too much pressure, the run blocking could be much better and the turnovers have to be managed.

The passing game is clearly fixed. A QB who is going to throw 35 TDs with two 1,000 yard WRs. The reason we are ranked low offensively is the running game.
lol 29.4 points per game from our defensive minded coach
only 2 offenses in the league are averaging more points per game than what our defense gives up (NE and Arizona)
pathetic

The TD total is hardly impressive in today's NFL (almost half the league's QBs are on pace for 30+). Its good, but far from being so good we can excuse the back breaking turnovers and being one of the leagues least accurate passers. The two 1,000 yard seasons speak more to the ability of the Allens than it does Blake, and the lack of production forces a lot of volume out of the passing game. Improved is right, but 'fixed' is a stretch.

This post is irrelevant. Bortles is playing great as a 23 year old 2nd year player with a terrible defense and terrible head coach.
Every post someone makes, you argue with them. There is nothing to argue. It's a fact. The above stats are facts and tell the entire story of what's wrong with this team
This has happened before. Marvin Lewis when he became the bengals coach had a horrific defense and a good offense (Carson Palmer) just didn't have the defensive talent. I'm sure more times it's happened when the specialty of the coach didn't match the results but this is the one I recall because it created a bit of a stir at the time. He's doing pretty well now tho
Peyton Manning- 9 TD and 13 INT- 75.6 QB rating-----his defense allows 17.4 points per game
Cam Newton - 14 TD and 9 INT -----81.3 QB rating-----his defense allows 20.6 points per game
Blake Bortles- 17 TD and 10 INT- ---83.2 QB rating-----his defense allows 29.4 points per game
Now you know what wins in the NFL.....meanwhile Cam Newton is being mentioned as an MVP candidate with a 53% completion percentage. Embarrassing.

Dude,, I like Bortles. Hes good. He's obviously gonna be a mainstay for the Jags. But to act like he does absolutely nothing wrong, and it's all something else, is a complete falsehood. He still has alot of improvement to make.
The offense is improving as the season goes on. But, there has been numerous times where it seems they just can't do anything. They go through long stretches of MAYBE scratching out a FG or 2 (that's if they don't throw an INT, or fumble).
Bortles Def has his issues too.
