Kane nailed it. They got scared that they were up so high on NE and played too safe. Blake still took some deep shots the second half, and let's be honest, if they let Lewis actually run a route without being mugged, we'd have converted a lot more.

The play calling was never an indictment on Blake. It was the staff prematurely trying to protect a lead by running the clock.

Indeed...

It's a mindset that I've seen even from perennial good teams.
I've seen the Packers do it in the playoffs with Aaron Rodgers at QB.

Bortles had been playing his best game and didn't have any almost picks in the first half.
HE wasn't the reason THEY changed the play calling.

Reasons we lost
REFS NON CALLS
JAGS O & D 2ND HALF PLAY CALLING
GIPSON
I think the reasons could keep going and Bortles might not make the top ten.
