This is my question.  Teams get soft when they're up by a bazillion and we still couldn't get a single TD.

Meanwhile CJ and the Texans are lighting the world on fire with worse skill players and a marginally better OL.

My question is does a garbage time tuddie really fix anything? Wasn't that the argument against Bortles? Is that loss any easier to digest if the final was 34-10?

When it's 34-3 and you've been manhandled all day, pack it in, give the young guys some time on the field and collectively run the clock out. I am running the most vanilla offense possible, not revealing any possible tricks up my sleeve that may be more useful in a closely contested match.
