He's had games like this before.
The bigger story here isn't Bortles playing well it's how good our defense can be as long as the offense doesn't put them in bad spots.

If Bortles can string together 6-7 games like yesterday... or God forbid, bring us back from a deficit... We can start serving up some crow...

I'm not saying you're wrong, but Bortles has actually been pretty consistent under Marrone. People here are just super ready to jump on him after a game against the titans where one horrible snap in pass protection and one batted pass made his day look especially bad.

I think the biggest problem early in the season was too much desire to go run run pass. The attack against the Ravens was much more balanced and clearly they were totally caught off guard by Lewis's ability to do anything at all, much less do a pretty good impression of ARob in the red zone.

I expect in the rematch with the titans there will be more play action passing against run stopping fronts and less running into the teeth of the defense.

Not saying the Jaguars are a playoff team with Bortles, but they look like they could be.
