He isn't a great QB by any stretch but he don't call his own plays... They got a 10 pt lead and the play calls became less aggressive... Edit; #30 had 3 catches for 59yds in the first half and they had no answer for him... 2nd half, the jags didn't even target him one time... He ran one play up the middle for 1yd but he was more effective out of the backfield, being used like kamara... That's the play caller's fault, not the QB...
I think you’re overlooking the fact that Bortles didn’t go to him. And the adjustments the Patriots made at halftime. I never thought Bortles was great, but he had a chance to be and he failed.
That was the difference in the game. Belichick must have placed a call to Birmingham to have them send up the officiating crews who work Bama games. Patriots - 1 penalty the whole game and it was for holding...on a KICKOFF! Lowest penalty total in a playoff game since, you guessed in, the Patriots again with 1, in 2002.
To add, the jags were the least penalize this year and only had 5 p.i the entire season... They had 2 in one half against the pats...
