They'll open it up more this weekend against the Steelers. I am sure of it. But Bortles has to execute on the passing plays. I don't care if it's a screen pass, a 5 yard out, a 5 yard comeback or a quick pass out into the flats. He has to show Hackett and Marrone that they can progressively work their way up the play calling sheet with little to no concern of him missing out on something huge.

He regressed during the last two games. That's a fact. He played his worst football on the year in SF and TEN before this wildcard game yesterday. And he STILL looked off yesterday. Let's not forget he had two INT's dropped. We got lucky more times than not on three plays. Those two dropped INT's and then the fumble he managed to scoop up and scoot down for a first down with his legs.

Eventually his luck is going to run out on him and therefore the team. But I agree. We can't keep running the ball up into a wall every time we want to run it. They did one run yesterday where they pitched it to Fournette and it caught the defense sleeping. They need to do that again or more often. And the rotation is dwindled down as well. They need to get Ivory, Yeldon and Grant more involved and they need to work the tight end back into the passing game some more.
