Hack Job needs to be let go. I hate his "prevent" offense that he calls. You know... Run the ball up the middle for 1 yard, to prevent Bortles from making a mistake. Scared, ineffective, conservative, and pathetic. If he goes though, that means Bortles has to learn the system of yet another OC. But something has to give. It reminds me of a kid in little league that won't swing at the ball for fear of striking out. He's hoping to get the walk.

But I do believe there is another factor that affected the conservatism:

Arrogance.

We have a great defense, and I think Marrone/Hackett might have just been a little too over - confident in the defense's ability to stop the Patriots. We let up on being aggressive offensively, thinking our defense could win us the game. And it cost us. You don't pump the brakes on the Patriots. You don't assume you'll keep the GOAT's at bay. You keep coming for 60 minutes
