You can point all over the place and say "it's not all Henne's fault" but good QBs make up for bad play around them, and great QBs carry teams.

 

If Bortles had been in the game I think the Jaguars would have had a real shot at winning.

Well...considering it is my argument that possibly an extra 3-4 first downs in this game could minimally have made a 10 point difference...I would agree with your closing statement. It is entirely possible Bortles gets us completions Henne didn't, resulting in those extra first downs.


Truthfully, there are two plays involving Lee I would like back. The first was the quick out to the left on third down right before the blocked FG. Not sure if it was a bad throw, route or both, but if that pass is completed, maybe the team goes in for another score. The dropped deep pass in the 2nd half (in no way Henne's fault), if caught, flips the field, gives us some momentum and takes more time off the clock
