Quote:Seriously you couldnt be any more wrong. The D held the pats to 13 before the bortles wobble started. We were never going to beat the pats on defense but bortles could not keep it competitive and thats what I wanted to see. Bortles had a couple of throw away tds when the game was already a blowout. But when the game was a contest he could not move the ball. Hes our leader on offense and hes unable to carry the team.

 

I thought we moved the ball OK.   Yes there were inaccurate passes...  I'm not denying that...

 

But there were critical missed catches as well.  We had 1 TD that went through the hands of Grant.  We had another drive stall out because of a sack based on a bad center/QB exchange out of the shot-gun...  And then of course the INT as we were driving the ball that resulted in the 20-3 end of half score...

 

But let's not come here and pretend we weren't moving the ball.  We were, what happened is the offense didn't execute when it needed to, and the D couldn't stop the patriots...  

 

I'm not saying BB5 played great.  I'm not sure I'm looking for his head this week either.  Let's see what happens next week...  

 

You know what else would help BB5, a coaching staff that was better at preparing these guys...  But the's for another thread and probably another few months...
