In hindsight, Bortles wasn't exactly the best pick in franchise history, but the worst?

The TEAM lost the game yesterday in a bad way.  Get over it.

^This.

The fumble was 100% Robinson's fault. The first interception was a fluke lucky tip by a tack DLman. When the ball was released the hand was not up, and the DLman couldn't see Bortles when he jumped. The last interception was Bortles throwing behind the receiver, so it was totally his fault.

Even excluding the turnovers, Bortles was disappointing, but he didn't have any help either. There weren't any receivers open, at least until garbage time. I saw one pass to Cole where Cole was grabbed and couldn't get to it, but it would have been a long completion had the uncalled interference not happened. The pick called on Hurns was bogus too.

Yes, and at just the wrong time. Nelson was playing much better and was the Jags leading tackler that preseason. Had the Jags had any decent safety play in 2010 we would have won the division.
