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.

I agree, We have a QB who is struggling. Plain and simple.

Even the best QBs are going to have a hard time when they're consistently facing long downs and distances. We had an already struggling QB, who was being forced into even more awful situations with stupid penalties.

Bortles completed 3, 3rd down conversions with his arm on those 5 drives, of that stretch we lost on. Penalties flat out killed those drives and turned the game, even with Bortles sub-par play up to those points.
