They're airing the game right now, and I paid particular attention to those three of the eight third downs where they did not convert. The last one was a good pass but just a drop by ARob, but the first two had Bortles running out of the pocket. Bortles was caught for the sack-fumble on the first one. On the second one he threw on the run to Hurns but the ball wast a tad underthrown and hit the ground as Hurns got there. I assume it's his running out of the pocket that rotoworld is calling panic, although there was significant pressure and I'd argue that he had to. So out of eight third downs, there were two where Bortles was flushed. I'd say the term "panic" was a bit harsh.


 

As for Bortles missing throws, I counted three. One was a clear case of miscommunication. One was an overthrow to the end zone over ARob's head. And the last was the underthrow to Hurns I just mentioned with him throwing on the run. Last week there might have been one pass that was not a drop, but I'm thinking even that one is arguable. Every other incompletion by Blake has been a drop.
