he had 2 balls tipped 1 he was throwing in the ground as the screen was covered and the DE was 3 ft from him and got his hand on it.

1 of the 2 that should have been interecepted was a good ball but a better play be the DB they get payed to play too and are pretty good.

The ball 10 yards out of bound on 3rd down was a great play when everyone was covered and your being chased dont take teh sack toss out of bounds punt get defense back out there. that shows the maturity he has gained

ok ill give you the he should run more, there were alot of instances he could have taken off but didnt

you realize the play calling may seem suspect because the coaches ARE AFRAID TO LET HIM AIR IT OUT because it usually results in interceptions.  Look at his play in the preseason still making the same boneheaded "oops i just didnt see that LB standing there" plays

the playcalling seems bad because when the game is on the line, no one in that building trusts him to do what a legit QB does and make a play

it is so painfully obvious that this is the case, like I dont understand why some jags fans continue to deny reality and defend anyone or anything on this team that isnt up to par

yes the run game struggled without fournette, but that is because the giants STILL STACKED THE BOX even with fournette out because NO OPPOSING TEAM is afraid of bortles

what does that say if a team still stacks the box on you when your starting RB is out?

we punted SEVEN TIMES IN THE 2ND HALF.... S E V E N

once fournette went out, besides the 1 drive before the half, the offense was DONE.

he had multiple balls tipped, there was a play or 2 that he should have absolutely been intercepted, he threw a 3rd down pass about 10 yards out of bounds (not intentionally), another 3rd down a crossing route was wide open for a 1st down and he threw it low starting right in front of a lineman who easily just batted it down.  There were a couple of times he could have tucked the ball and ran, but for some reason he seems to only run now on designed runs and improvises far less.

He didn't play horrendously, but we once again won despite him, not because of him, as per the usual

Maybe we should define "fine".

I don't think "fine" means first ballot hall of fame.

I would obviously trade BB for Rodgers in a heartbeat. That being said, Rodgers just missed most of the last season and looks banged up already this year. Bortles doesn't have injury issues. Just saying.

Bortles performance yesterday did not change anyone's opinion on who he is. While he isn't going to be the reason we win a super bowl, he plays with a salary that allows us to pay this defense.

rodgers one 1 leg in 1 half of football did more and made more plays and throws than bortles has in the last 2 or 3 years... just sayin

bortles aint coming back from a 20-0 deficit on a college team let alone an NFL team with as good a defense as chicago
