Quote:Bortles did everything you can reasonably expect from a QB. Penalties on the O-Line once again killed any chance of a TD drive in the second half. He got us in position to win the game at the end, TWICE, and Myers hanxed it both times. Was he perfect? No. But he was far from the reason we lost and he did enough for us to win. 

Luck carries his team all the time. When will we start expecting Blake to put up points and get us into the end zone consistently? He's played 16 games now. 13 points is about his average amount of offense he supplies for us. I'm not saying he needs to be Brady or Luck but I would like for him to make some crucial throws on third down to extend drives. I would like for him to make the long throw for a touchdown. I would like to see him take advantage of weak defenses. 

 

It seems that it doesn't matter how bad the other teams defense is, when will only put up about 13 points, 1 passing td and less than 300 passing yards. It been like this for a while now. The name has changed but its starting to look the same,

 

Like I stated maybe I'm just frustrated because of the ridiculous loss, but I watch a lot of football and have for years. I see other teams that win constantly have the qb make great plays when they need great plays made. Blake is not doing that. He will make a play which is more than the last 2 qbs we had but when will he make those plays when we need them? That's the big picture I'm worried about?

 

He should have realized how big this game was and yet all he could do is get us to the 35 a few times for 50 yard field goals, mean while Hasselbeck took his team down to the 7 in OT to win the game when it really mattered. Thats what I saw in the grand scheme of it. One qb made the plays when he needed to and the other didn't.

 

Hopefully Blake will start showing that trait but so far I'm not seeing that and I'm getting discouraged. Anyone who reads my posts know I am a big defender of this team. If I'm talking like this that means I'm seeing something very wrong with what we are doing.
