Face it -- our offense sucks vs the Titans and Bortles is a big part of that.  Reflecting back on the September game vs the Titans, we scored 13 of our 16 points in the 4th quarter at garbage time when we were down 30-3

Yesterday we mirrored that 3 point offensive game plan again vs the Titans.

I'm ok with the Defense having confidence in themselves but they shouldn't make any hypothetical (win) assumptions knowing our offense (and Bortles) totally sucks vs the Titans.

I can't read minds, of course, but I get the sense that many of Bortles' picks are borne of desperation, more than anything else.  That seemed to be the case yesterday.

I'm not sure where the disagreement lay.

Do you think the game plan was too conservative?

I know you weren't asking me, but I'm answering anyway...I'm not sure the game plan was too conservative, but it was too predictable...It reminded me of when JDR said we were going to run the ball even if they put 9 guys in the box, and then POOF 3 and out more than not...There is never any question of what we are going to do offensively, run run pass (short of the first down marker generally)... Occasionally we will throw in different order or a deep pass, but for the opposing DC it's really not hard to game plan against us...
