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

11 penalties for 119 yards didn't help much either their chief. Especially when your left tackle gets flagged not once, not twice but I believe three times on third and short for false starts which made them all third and long. Moncrief dropped a 1st down yesterday. So did Westbrook. Norwell also negated a perfect TD pass which we ended up settling for three on. 

You can have your little petty agenda about Blake but it's a two way street though. We clearly weren't watching the same game. I am not saying Bortles was perfect. But his teammates were far from perfect as well on both sides of the football.

Play calling needs to get better. We didn't see any of that dual back formation stuff from pre season at all. We didn't see Chark out there at all. They rarely ran the football out of the I-formation with a fullback lead blocking. Instead they keep trying to get cute on 2nd downs out of the spread or shotgun formation and the RB's are getting eaten alive. 

And stop comparing Aaron [BLEEP] Rodgers to any QB in the NFL. He's Aaron [BLEEP] Rodgers. There's maybe three QB's in the NFL that are truly Elite. He's probably the top of that list. Brady has a better team around him than Rodgers. Brees has always been a great passer. After you get past those three you got some guys that can win you some games and damn near cost you some games. Like Ryan in ATL and Roethlisberger in PIT. Can probably add Wilson to that list too out of SEA.

After you get past them. That's about it. It's anyone's guess. Newton was meh yesterday. Prescott sucked. Alex Smith was okay. Mahomes had a big day. Trubisky was okay. Flacco beat up a [BLEEP] team with no QB. Taylor did okay. Jimmy G sucked. Cousins did okay. I mean. You can go back and look.

I agree the O-line was atrocious, absolutely, and that didnt help

and it doesnt have to be rodgers, i can pull up plenty of qb's that would help this team have an easier time winning, A LOT

agenda against blake?? what are you talking about, just because someone calls underperforming players out we have an agenda vs them?  I dont know blake from anyone else, i have nothing against him in any way outside of him constantly making games harder for us that they need to be

fact is, this team's play calling looks bad because our QB doesnt give them much confidence, fact is, he continues to get balls batted down on routine short throws, fact is he does not use his legs near enough, probably his greatest asset tbh... fact is, he is still prone to stupid throws and interceptions, he just got lucky again yesterday that some were dropped
