You (and most everybody else) need to get over your obsession with hating Bortles and look at what happened last week for what it really is.

They're trying to keep the ball out of Bortle's hands. I know that, you know that, everybody in the entire world knows that. It's hard to keep the ball out of your bad struggling QB's hands when you're constantly being faced with 1st and 20+ multiple drives in a row. 

You're forced to throw the ball in those situations and everybody knows it. You can't hide anything in that situation because there's only so many plays drawn up for those kind of situations.

Bortles isn't good, we all know this, it is what it is. The awful penalties are more concerning though because it's the same thing as last season. We were 2nd in the NFL in penalties last year and we're currently 2nd in the NFL in penalties this year.

You can hate Bortles and want him gone as much as the next guy, but he isn't out there committing hands to the face penalties and Offensive face masking penalties that are putting this Offense in bad situations.
