Bortles' numbers this year should be enough to have this team at 3 - 3 at the minimum. I don't point to Blake or the passing game this year at all for our struggles. He's had no running game, inconsistent pass protection and that same group of lineman are the reason why we don't have a running game. No lanes or push up front. It's easy as a defender to key off on Blake and the passing game when you know he doesn't have any support back there.

 

It's the defense that concerns me. No pass rush, no forced turnovers and no splash plays on third downs. That's killing us more than anything this year. And when your coach essentially got his head coaching job because of his defensive efforts in Seattle. You expect that side of the football to be the LEAST of your concerns. And it's the shinning point on the very tip of the spear of disappointment this season as a fan.
