Since last year this team has been a power run first offense. Now I feel like we're trying to reinvent the wheel and the defense is getting exposed.

Asked to do too much?  How?  This playbook is paired down to the same 5-10 throws so much so that it is all the color guys talked about.  They run out of the darn shotgun and I was shocked when they ran a screen.  We are stuck with him and nothing was/will be done to address the QB.

I will be shocked if the front office/coaches don't use injuries as justification for the under performance across the board.  These guys had the chance to address the QB in multiple drafts and free agencies and we did zip.

He's asked to throw too many passes. This was supposed to be a run first, 20 to 25 passes a game offense. Bortles is averaging 40 passes a game this year and his receivers are leading the league in drops. If this team doesn't run the ball then it can't be competitive.
