Without derailing the thread, I am not implying Marrone is a "bad" coach overall, but yesterday was a weird day as far as game planning. Abandoning the run against a team with 2 of the best DE's in the NFL with a makeshift line doesn't make a lot of sense.

I really think they had to take the lesser of two evils approach when they switched to the pass because the run wasn't going anywhere. 

The run game was not working at all due to:
Cam playing hurt 
Omameh playing hurt / Shatley taking over 
Cann playing hurt
Wells at RT 
Fournette clearly not 100% - or re-injured
bolts stacking the box and doing a really good job of it
Perryman was firing gaps like a mad man

I just think they tried to make it work and they couldn't.  They did call quite a lot of "short stuff" to keep Bortles from holding the ball too long under pressure at least. 

I'm glad they were able to overcome mistakes and injuries and win anyway. That's new around here. 

Bortles - as is often the case - contributed to the good and the bad - but now they can still pull out a win with a bit of the bad mixed in.
