The Jaguars’ 10 penalties went for 99 yards Sunday and they created situations of first-or second-and-more than 19 yards on five different drives for the offense. Those five drives came on a six-possession stretch in the second and third quarters, a stretch in which the Titans turned a 3-3 tie into a 23-3 lead.

“It’s hard to call plays when you’re starting out first and 20,” Marrone said, adding, “This does not give us the position that we want to be in from a standpoint of field position and a standpoint of being able to run the football the way we want to.”

I tried saying this same thing in multiple threads already and it's pointless honestly.

The same people crying on here are the same idiots who don't want any logic and facts on this/any situation. They're also the same idiots who were no where to be seen after last week's game.

They want Bortles to fail so bad, that they'll literally ignore anything else that's going on around him and place everything on him. I mean, according to the cry babies on here, Bortles was the reason he fumbled today. It had nothing to do with Cam Robinson getting completely smoked by Orakpo and whiffing on that play. It was only because of Bortles.. LOL  

This is a valid point too, and I agree fully. The problem is, teams will have a few drives where they get penalized but you have to have a QB that can make competent throws and make up the yards here and there to get a manageable 3rd down. We barely even have a guy who can complete 3rd and shorts when we throw. The main issue today was penalties and QB play. We have to fix both, for sure.
