Quote:You cant play conservative like that with plenty of time on the clock. That's how you lose games. You gotta play to win, and a FG was certainly attainable with a timeout and 50 some seconds. I understand that a turnover was what they were hoping to avoid, but i think that's a poor philosophy for a 0-3 team. And we kept going for it on 4th, so it felt like an odd time to all of a sudden get conservative

Relax.  It was the first start for the rookie QB.  It's okay to be conservative in that situation to avoid making a critical mistake that blows up in your face.  I have absolutely no doubt that had they gotten aggressive there and tried to force the ball down the field to get into field goal range, and Bortles threw a pick that went the other way for a touchdown, people of your ilk would be blasting the play calling that way as well.
