I know this is spin, but if we're looking for positive points, that's one way to spin it.

I don’t think it’s so much making key plays but rather minimizing mistakes. We had one, and possibly two, TDs left on the field because of player flubs. The for sure score was the pass floated by Lawrence to Marvin Jone (?) in the end zone. That was a pass high school QBs should make. The other was the fumble by ETN a few yards shy of the goal line. 

While we are playing better football, it’s just a comedy of errors every week that is keeping us in the L zone.

Doug Pederson isn’t without fault. For one, this is two games where we have been robbed of a critical first down because of bad ball placement by the refs. Throw the damn challenge flag, Doug.
