The loss was tough as a fan but it told us some things about the team. For one, our secondary isn't as bulletproof as we thought. Had we been able to cover their receivers for an extra second, it would have given us the time to get to Garappolo. He was carving us up with quick accurate passes and receivers who were, at times, wiiide open. Secondly, even though he has improved, Blake Bortles is not the guy going forward. I wish we would have signed the QB we played against last night. Thirdly, Marrone needs to squelch that thug attitude on the field. We gave them over 30 yards of penalties in ONE DRIVE! Malik Jackson should be fined the amount of his next game day paycheck. Like Vic says. the best behavior modifier is to make them play for free. Finally, we realized that, for whatever reason, this team still cannot travel west. I don't know if it's conditioning or mental. The team was really chippy on the sidelines for some reason, but they certainly didn't look mentally and emotionally balanced. This needs some study.
