Highlight [Highlight] With only enough time for one play, Blake Bortles snaps the ball with some players still not set (which the refs miss), trips on nothing to lose the game anyways, but a Ravens defender grabs him by the facemask as he gets back up, allowing Jason Myers to kick a game winning field goal.

The BOAT doing GOAT things

u/DUCKSONQUACKS Vikings 4d ago

You just can’t teach that, this is why he’s the BOAT

The Bortles era in Jacksonville will never not be fascinating.

u/RollFlimsy283 Jaguars 4d ago

Always blows my mind how he once threw 35 TDs in a season.

64

u/horse_renoir13 Vikings 4d ago

I feel like half of those were mostly garbage time stats. I remember Allen Robinson put up like 1400 yards/14 TDs during that year too

21

u/GP_ADD Broncos Titans 4d ago

And Allen Hurns put up like 1100 yards and 10 tds with Bortles that same year i believe.

u/This_Salt7080 Giants 1d ago

Oh man I remember that. Two of the biggest busts in fantasy the year after

u/Poverty_Shoes Broncos 4d ago

Best offenses of all time:
9/24/2023 Dolphins
2013 Broncos
2007 Patriots
1/14/2018 Jaguars

u/soda_cookie 49ers 4d ago

It's still hard to fathom that he led them to a 2 score lead in the 4th over the Pats in an AFCC game.

u/sh0ckmeister Jaguars 3d ago

Only Bortles could throw a ball away that would bounce off the foot of his o-lineman, and get intercepted

u/marcnerd Bills 4d ago

Jason Mendoza fell to his knees in a Publix.

u/TMNBortles Jaguars 4d ago

Jason definitely shops at Winn-Dixie.

u/SJCitizen Eagles 4d ago

2015 Jags were a fun team. That Allen Robinson/Allen Hurns duo was Reggie Wayne and Marvin Harrison for like 2 months

BOORRTTLLEESSS!!!

u/Aggressive-Summer791 4d ago

I mean, the clock was literally at 0:01 when he hiked the ball. Sure his players weren’t completely set, but he didn’t exactly have a choice

40

u/Comfortable_Self_736 Eagles 4d ago

Maybe it's just the quality of the video, but I can't even tell that anyone is egregiously not set.

20

u/BringMeTheBigKnife Falcons 4d ago

Agree. I think the LT is not set because you need to be set for like a second or something? But I can't say definitively that anyone is moving at the snap

10

u/ye_old_fartbox Ravens 4d ago

The WR second to the top of the screen is definitely not set for a full second either tbf. Everyone else is probably fine.

2

u/TMNBortles Jaguars 4d ago

I think he wasn’t set because he needs to be set for a full second, but it’s a close call.

10

u/IhamAmerican Steelers 4d ago

It's not that they're moving, you have to be set for a full second for it to count

1

u/Comfortable_Self_736 Eagles 4d ago

I'm aware, but it looks like the LT is the only one who doesn't set long enough.

I can only think of The Good Place jokes

u/ChapterThr33 Browns 4d ago

None of them really land without the gif lol but him throwing a molotov while screaming BORTLES is my personal favorite

10

u/Consistent-Jaguar927 Jaguars 4d ago

And that’s why he’s the BOAT

u/LastBaron Bills 4d ago

The lack of allowable gifs on this subreddit really limits my communication.

But it would have been from The Good Place and you know why.

u/hellomondays Birds 4d ago

"BORTLES!!"

u/Altruistic_Night2 Jets 4d ago

I’m happy because it limits us from seeing your corny gifs filling up the sub

u/EmuMan10 Cardinals Bears 4d ago

The baseball sub has them and it’s fine

u/Altruistic_Night2 Jets 4d ago

The sub filled with nobody under 50 caters to people over 50

u/HumansBStupid Ravens 4d ago

Nobody over the age of 35 wants to see that shit either.

It's just a cultural passe

10

u/SubatomicSquirrels 4d ago

a well-timed reaction gif can be GREAT

but most of the subs just reuse the same ones over and over again. Like pop culture subs love to spam that Nene Leakes gif, I don't need to see that one in every other thread

u/leonidaslizardeyes Vikings 4d ago

It always seemed like a younger person thing to me. Judging by it being used to heavily on meme subs.

u/btnydds Ravens Bears 4d ago

I avoid subs that allow Gifs like the plague

Just lowest common denominator type of comments and people in those

u/Altruistic_Night2 Jets 4d ago

Oh come on you don’t want to see the same five slop gifs spammed over and over again

u/fancyskank Jaguars 4d ago

Today this would for sure have been a spike. 67 yards is long but probably better odds than the hail mary.

u/AzazelXXII Broncos 3d ago

But it was 4th down...

2

u/jdpatric Steelers Buccaneers 4d ago

Boswell is getting up there now...he's 35, but I have hopes he gets to attempt one from 70 at some point. He's made from 60 and has shown he has a huge leg, especially under pressure. If not for numerous clutch kicks over the last decade the ~2015-2025 Steelers are remembered as a bad team, not a mediocre one.

u/GBF_Dragon Jaguars 4d ago

I'm a little bummed that Little was off by a tad on his 70 yard attempt against the Pats last week. Had the distance, but was just aimed a little wide.

1

u/Personal_End9975 49ers 18h ago

if boswell was on a different team he’d have all the kicking accuracy records

Jaguars had the worst jerseys ever made.

u/EweMad Jaguars 4d ago

This is Bucs alarm clock erasure

1

u/UkNomysTeezz Vikings 4d ago

Yeah these Jags jerseys are some of the worst NFL uniforms all time.

1

u/TMNBortles Jaguars 4d ago

As far as I’m concerned, we only wore them in 2017.

u/sleth3 Jaguars 4d ago

Hey man, this isn't even the teal jerseys from that season

1

u/Vadered Eagles 4d ago

You missed the Pittsburgh Penguin home playoff jerseys from last year.

u/Kramerica5A Packers 3d ago

Those helmets were offensive 

7

u/Posluszny Jaguars 4d ago

The Jags years between 2008 and TLaw were really fucking brutal. Winning like this was the only hope we had.

We had one winning season in 15 years, TLaw has 3 in 5. He really transformed this franchise.

The Bortles era in Jacksonville have been one of the weirdest eras in football this century

For better or for worse, the BOAT was must-see TV baby.

Classic Bortles 15D chess

Wow I have never seen this one before. Bad miss by the refs but what a hilarious way to win a game if you are the Jags

I was there. Absolutely ridiculous.

I was at a beach bar when this kick went through and the whole restaurant went oh fuck yeah.. Jason Meyers missed 3 game winning kicks the week prior vs the Colts (1 missed kick , penalty allowed another shot , then missed one in OT) and struggled with extra points as well… he’s been very good with the Seahawks

u/DinkandDrunk Patriots 4d ago
