Still won't help that their O-line has been hit with injuries. The Bills got into their backfield with just 4 lineman.

I love asking the dumb questions.

If you fire your offensive coordinator and quarterback within 24 hours of each other, how can you be sure who's to blame or how much?

Sure didn't look like Bortles losing his mind and getting kicked out of a game as they were about to take the lead this week.

I was a huge Coughlin and Marrone supporter, but honestly I think they both should be fired. If you know anything about me, I'm not a big supporter of calling for someone's job. It's the source of one's livelihood. And I don't like to put someone's family through that.
But not bringing in a reasonable secondary option or someone to compete with Blake is gross negligence and insubordination. For a team to consider themselves Super Bowl contenders and hinge your hopes solely on Blake is a firable offense.

They hinged their hopes on fournette and it worked last year. After he pulled that hammy this year bortles was totally exposed behind a shredded OL. A good QB wouldn’t have crumbled so badly though and it’s time to cut the cord so we can have an offense with a semblance of balance. Run only is suicide.

Don’t understand why the defense isn’t getting more blame, they let the “trash” qb get up 14 on them and he ran for way too many yards

The blame is on the whole team especially that LSU pos, after his dumb ass immature crap the whole team folded.

Yeah, so they let the guy that went 0-8 with the Browns start. These guys are sharp.

When their left tackle went down very early in the season, things started going south. Fournette is great when healthy, but appears to be heading towards that "injury-prone" label. Bortles is just not consistent enough to be a big time franchise player. Better than Winston in Tampa, but that ain't saying much. Instead of drafting for a QB and failing over & over like they've been doing, maybe they should trade for a proven success at the position. The O-line has been a weakness in Jacksonville since Tony Boselli retired. And the defense too a step back from last year's greatness. I love Coughlin and think Jax would have been a consistent contender had they not run him off long ago. Marone I'm not sure about. He's made some bonehead in-game decisions that cost them at least 2 games, IMO.

Should have gotten Tim Tebow would they could. Now Tim will be a MLB star!
