Quote:The are really only so many "unlucky" passes you can claim. I hate when the term "unlucky" is used in sports, Bortles makes bad passes that are always seemingly too Low, too high, Too tar ahead, too something. The INT off the back of Yeldon's heel was a bad throw, you are supposed to hit the dirt if you are giving up on a play. That's not bad luck, it's bad accuracy and a lazy effort and it's only so excusable in the great body of work for any player. 

 

That one was following a bad coach's instructions according to Bortles himself. He was told to throw at Yeldon's feet in that situation.

 

I don't use the word unlucky, but it is appropriate more often than you think. A good example of this is Allen Robinson falling on slippery turf in the end zone at Chicago. Perfect pass that would have been caught easily on any other field.
