Bortles has always excelled in the 2 minute offense and to not even think he could pick up 40 yards with the way we were gashing them in the 1st half is pretty much a huge slap in the face.

There are one of two things going on IMO:

1. Bortles isn't good enough to run the offense Hackett wants to run
2. Hackett isn't a good enough coordinator to call a game plan suited to Bortles' strengths.

#2 seems to be the answer these days.

1. Tell me more about the offense Hackett wants to run and how Bortles has prevented him from doing so. 

2. Hackett has been on the money with his gameplans for most of the year. He has some of the best opening scripts in the entire league which is why we lead the league in opening possession scoring.

Yes, the way he mixed it up and ran LF into a 9 man box on every 1st down in the 2nd half was "right on the money".

Hackett is a problem and needs to go.

Hackett called a PERFECT 1st half. He made a lot of really good calls actually in this game and he should be back next year. So you want Blake to be in ANOTHER system to start next year? Brilliant idea. Hackett was not the issue yesterday. Far from it.

3rd an 18 conversion
Jack fumble recovery blown dead
1 penalty on the Pats
DOG out of a timeout

That's the game.

So, you are saying Wash and the Refs are the issue? Does Wash need to go? I'd assume so since he is incapable of putting the #1 passing defense in the NFL in a position to stop 3rd and 18. Give me some answers Cleatwood.
