We'll be also using this as a live blog, similarly to how we did at training camp and during NFL free agency.

11:44 PM: BONUS! Here's video of Blake Bortles' first NFL completion.

10:29 PM: And the Jaguars have defeated the Buccaneers 16-10. UNDEFEATED, Y'ALL.

10:21 PM: I don't blame him. I would too with Stephen Morris in the game.

Hahahaha Blake Bortles is watching the Jaguars game on the scoreboards during his in-game interview.

10:12 PM: Denard Robinson is playing in the fourth quarter, which isn't a great sign for the former Michigan running back.

Nice run by Denard Robinson -- 23-yard touchdown -- gives Jaguars a 16-10 lead. Again, Big Ten alums taking over the game.

10:09 PM: Bad, bad injury for one of the backup wide receivers.

Ugh. #Jaguars LB Lamaar Thomas took a hard hit to the head. Trainers out immediately. Hate to see that at the end of a preseason game.

8:58 PM: Bortles finished the first half 3-of-6 for 55 yards, but he didn't have a bad pass all night. All three incompletions because of drops.

SECOND QUARTER OBSERVATIONS: 1. Blake Bortles will start Week 1 2. We don't deserve our defensive line depth 3. Did I mention Blake Bortles?

8:39 PM: Blake Bortles came into the game in the middle of the second quarter and for about nine minutes the entire timeline was filled with tweets like this.

FUN FACT: 100% of Blake Bortles passes have gone for first downs.

8:05 PM: I literally can't even.

WINSTON GUY WITH A 68-YARD PICK-SIX. IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO SCORE AND I DON'T CARE.

Pressure from Telvin Smith and our defensive line forced a terrible throw. All three phases of our defense is playing well. I am speechless.

7:55 PM: Story of the first half? Sen'Derrick Marks is putting on an exhibition. He has a sack, several pressures, and two tackles for a loss. In two drives.

Sen'Derrick Marks is flat out abusing the Bucs starting offensive line. This is a pleasure to watch. Ran McCown into that Clemons sack

7:29 PM: These individual players intros are absolutely insane.

6:42 PM: There's quite a few position groups to watch, but even with all the injuries, Marqise Lee makes the Jaguars receivers one to pay attention to.
