Here's a look at the 2015 season of gaffes for the Jaguars.  I routinely read posts on this board that say our offense was fine last year.  I disagree.  Bortles was still making the same mistakes.  He was making some big plays last year for sure, but those seem to have dried up this year.  He was, however, still hamstringing our defense on a regular basis and was a major reason we lost games that were otherwise in question.  You simply can't consistently spot the other team points and expect to win many games.

 

Bortles had 10 interceptions last year where he put the opponent in scoring position if not the endzone.  He has 8 such instances so far this year with 4 games to go.  Not much difference.  The one silver lining gleaned from comparing last year's spreadsheet to this year's is that our defense is getting off the field with only allowing a FG on a regular basis after these gaffes whereas almost every time last year they were unable to do anything and the opponent just marched the short field into the endzone.  It's some confirmation of what our eyes should be telling us this season. The one exception being in the season opener last year against the Panthers where we held them to a FG.  The instance against the Jets was a game ending interception and the Jets just took a knee to finish the game.  As a team, we gave up 448 points last year.  Obviously I wouldn't credit that all to the defense based on the above numbers, but I'm not here to argue that our defense was good last year because it wasn't.
