"[b]Jaguars: [/b]Starting fast on offense was a priority this offseason and the addition of WR Calvin Ridley and the second season of Doug Pederson's offense were two reasons the team was optimistic. Jacksonville had a so-so start against the Cowboys, with Trevor Lawrence throwing an interception on the second offensive snap (there were two receivers in the area, so there might have been a miscommunication) and the Jags committing a holding penalty on the second possession, which began inside the 10-yard line. But after the team recovered a fumbled punt, the offense finally got rolling and scored on Lawrence's fourth-down pass to WR Christian Kirk. Pederson wanted the offense to operate cleanly and it took a while before that happened. -- Michael DiRocco"

Damn writers making excuses...

I am not debating the receivers made a mistake. I am saying the QB should not have thrown that ball. Most experts worth their grain of salt will tell you that throwing the ball away and living another down is the better option than forcing it on the run between a few defenders. If you really think that Lawrence deserves no blame for that throw, we have nothing left to talk about.

Actually he had Engram open - I'd say he should have thrown the ball - but he should have thrown it deeper. 

Initially - I thought he should have thrown it away when Ridley's route got cut off sending him high, but Trevor's instinct to go for Engram was right, he apparently just lost grip of the ball in his release enough to leave to short. 

Pederson addressed it in this AM's zoom press conf with beat writers.
