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.

I'm asking what the game plan should be considering all factors. He's our terrible qb and we have to deal with him for the season. I would like to know what kind of game plan other posters would like to see used. I'm actually kind of frustrated. I was one of the few believing in the guy to take the next step and turn that corner. I'm still hoping he can but after 50 games he is what he is. 

Like the post you quoted stated: I still think we can win some games. It would be nice to know what you think this team can do to win games. Not committing penalties is fantasy. They call phantom penalties. It's holding on almost every play. That's not realistic. What scheme wise or whatever would you like to see this team do. We are 1-1 and have an easy schedule. We can actually make the playoffs this season
