The defense lost the game today, not Bortles.

Did Bortles play well today?  Meh, he wasn't great and he didn't make any stupid boneheaded mistakes or turn the ball over.  Some of his throws were pretty bad, but they aren't the reason for the loss.

The defense lost the game today by letting more than a couple of long runs go for scores.

This team is not built to come from behind.  As soon as they fell behind I knew that it was over, especially when they went to the pass more often than the run.  Again penalties were also an issue.

^ I always respect your opinions, but I just can't agree with this one about the NYJ game.

Yes, the defense gave up some horribly defensive run plays, TRUE. But,

1. The defense held the Jets to 17 points in regulation (I can't blame the 3 points on the defense that Bortles' goofy INT gave the Jets the ball at point-blank range. The defense holding to only a FG there was huge)


2. Defense recorded 5 sacks
3. Defense got 2 turnovers
4. Defense SCORED a TD
5. And the defense routinely stopped the Jets over, and over, and over again late in the game giving the Jags offense opportunities to try and do something.

^Really,, 

The offense (Lee, Benn, BB, playcalling) needed to step up.
Bortles throws a pick.... Goes to the 7 yard line.... Jags defense stops them for a FG. The defense did indeed give up some big plays (one super bonehead play in not touching Powell) but they changed the entire momentum of that game with the TD.

This game is 30-10 without the defense.
