    NFL Playoffs

    Blake Bortles is awful. Kind of like Fitz but with less speed & less conviction in his throws.

    It's infuriating to watch Jax challenge a Bills' player stepping out of bounds prior to a catch & then know that we didn't do the same vs Alabama with the Ridley catch and vs Louisville with the personal foul, late hit, in bounds fumble.

    I really hope that Moorhead builds a more effective process in coaches communication that allows us to become better at challenging bad calls. It always seemed a cluster with Mullen. Every year it seems like we lost in game in which a blown call happened in the game that could've been challenged.

    Alabama 2018
    Houston in Mullen's first year
    The Auburn 1st down didn't make the stick
    etc, I'm sure there were many more.

    I'm not sure what Don's issue was with challenging plays, but my guess is there was a breakdown in who's responsibility it was & the timely communication of what needed to be done.

    Bortles is terrible. They would be a legitimate threat with a decent Qb. I'd trade for Alex Smith if I were them.

    Completely agree on the Ridley one, but would the other have been reversible? I don't think so because a personal foul other than targeting was involved, which isn't reviewable as far as I know.

    Plus Boobie Dixon scoring against LSU before mini Lee?s jump pass was batted down. The refs actually reviewed the 3rd down Dixon play after Dixon got in on 2nd down. We lost by less than a TD.

    Case Keenum is a free agent. Pick him up and maybe draft Lamar Jackson or Baker.

    See if Manning is available. TC at Jacksonville now, so there is a relationship there

    Baker in that offense would be scary.

    They basically fired their coach over how Eli was handled. They might draft someone but it will be on the Favre plan. New guy will probably sit for 3 years.

    After Lamar’s game in Jax, I doubt they go after him strong. He struggles big time with his accuracy and you know the Jags watched that one closely.

    I’m one of the few that still like Bortles. He does struggle a lot, but he’s better than Eli, Cutler, and several other steady NFL QBs. I think there’s an unrealistic expectation on QBs now. You can’t just be a Trent Dilfer anymore. Fans won’t accept it.

    No way I draft Jackson- but Mayfield is headed to Cleveland. Jacksonville needs to go after Keenum and draft another in the 3rd round or so. This is not a good QB class imo

    You think mayfield goes ahead of the So-cal boys? I hope mayfield lands somewhere other than cleveland (perhaps NOLA) bc I like him, a lot

    Brees would be the perfect mentor for Mayfield IMO
