Impressions from the Rams Game

#18

(10-15-2017, 09:32 PM)Jaguarmeister Wrote: The special teams shoulders the brunt of the blame for this loss, but Bortles' ineptitude as a professional QB kills any chance this team has if everything else doesn't go right which it didn't today.  With mediocre QB play we overcome the special teams gaffs and win this game as our defense played well enough to win by surrendering just 13 points.  Special teams has been solid this year prior to today and I have confidence that they will rebound in the following weeks and continue to be solid although Myers may find himself on the street soon.  Watching Bortles "lead" this offense is aggravating to say the absolute least.

There's a lot to complain about with Bortles, but not today. Much of his passing was in 3rd and long situations, and the OL broke down frequently. There was also blatant pass interference on two incompletions to Lee that weren't called. In spite of all of that Bortles put up good numbers, 23/35 1 TD, 1 INT and over ten yards per completion, including some long third down completions. 

On the down side, he had at least one incompletion that was a poor choice and could have been intercepted. He also had two fumbles. Fortunately both were recovered by the linemen who's missed blocks allowed them.

Trying to make Bortles into a game manager seems to be working, but it limits the big play scoring. Fournette can't be expected to do everything. If the Jags has traded for Eli Manning would the coaching staff still use the same game plan that limits our scoring? I suspect they would, especially without a true deep threat WR.

We miss Allen Robinson. Cole has been very disappointing.

Special teams gave up 17 points, and left another six on the field with two (almost three) missed field goals. It sure was a coup to hire the best ST coordinator in the NFL, wasn't it?
