but can the excuses stop too? It's not always coaches, offensive line, receivers or playbook. Sometimes it's Trevor.

Trevor has had two good and two bad games this season. He and the coaches need to fix his various issues quickly. I want to hear their assessment of yesterday's game to understand what the problem was in their opinion.

I also believe the 'generational' thing is affecting everyone, including those that claim it doesn't. Some people are disappointed by his play because  he's supposed to be something better than he is. Others are blaming everyone else but Trevor because they can't believe a 'generational' talent would be so bad.

You’re overselling bad in week 1.  Not as good as weeks 2 and 3, but he wasn’t bad in week 1. There were lapses by several players in key moments that contributed to that loss, including Trevor, but he was decent in week 1.

There’s no excuse making here.  If I comment on something, it’s generally because I’ve rewatched it and looked for where the lapse happened on bad plays.  It’s very lazy to look at a play where the QB throws a pick, or takes a sack, or fumbles, etc and just assign blame to him without looking at the line and the receiver. It’s also lazy to use stats solely to make conclusions.  A pick thrown on a deep pass into opposing territory is not the same as a pick 6 or picks thrown on your own side of the field like Bortles did with great regularity.  Also, fumbles in wet conditions are not the same as the above when evaluating a QB’s viability in this league.  There’s no reason to panic because of them.   

I haven’t re-watched yesterday’s game yet, but even if some blame comes off of Trevor on a few plays or is shared with another player, I’m expecting to still come away critical of him.  I’m ok with it because of the conditions and because of what I said above.  Things are probably never as good or as bad as they seem.  The ball bounced heavily in the Eagles favor yesterday.
