It's great that he's playing better than he was earlier in this season. It's even better we're winning games.
But to act like we're winning because of Bortles would be kinda foolish.... This D is what drives this team. The run game is balanced with the passing attack.

I love it that Bortles and this team can beat up on the bad teams. But we still need Bortles to be able to take over a game if he's in the plans for the long term.
We need to see how Bortles responds being down by 2 scores. (Not sure we'll see it too much with this D)

I'm really not trying to take anything from Bortles. He's definitely on the uptick... and I dig it.
But even looking at yesterday, Blake's best game of the year... Cole made a helluva catch that Bortles overshot him. He had a few balls that came out that just make ya hold your breath.
Tipped passes are still an issue as well.

It was a great win but there is a lot of time for Bad Blake to show up again... And as excited as I am about this team, we should still pump the brakes on "Bortles is cured" lol

 Beat up on bad teams?! See another fan who knows NOTHING. Cincy has the #10 scoring defense in the league. Baltimore has the #7 scoring defense in the league. Those are bad defense Bortles is beating up on? Without Fournette one game?! And without a legit #1 WR all season? 

 You know nothing. Come back when you know what a good defense is.

Stats tell all. I forgot. My bad. Continue football guru.

Ravens BAD offense put us in good position throughout the London game.
The terrible Bengals offense gave our offense a lot of possessions (and they still only managed to put up 16 points)
They also both have losing records... so yeah, those teams aren't really good.
Bad clots team... and the squeelers during a career worst outing by Big Ben....

I can counter every thing you throw at my dude. 
I don't know why you can't just be realistic about this team. It's OK to enjoy the good and still be critical of the not so good.

Try it kid. Instead of frantically responding to every Bortles thread looking to defend your childhood hero against the big bad meanies of the message board.
