You gotta give me more during crunch time. Sorry. My standards are higher than this.  At least he didn’t turn the ball over. That’s a huge positive. He’s averaging over a TO per game so at least that was cleaned up so far.

In order to do something in crunch time you have to actually have the ball in crunch time. Lawrence was only given 21 attempts the whole game.

Agreed. This is why I can't knock him after the loss. He didn't really do anything yesterday to cost you this game.

I think he conducted himself well. I think the running game started off strong, it opened up the passing game earlier on and then everybody clammed up after ETN's fumble.

The fact that it was 7 run plays, 1 pass play and 2 sacks given up on the final 3 drives is alarming. Even if you think it was a RPO presnap with him having the ability to check in and out of certain looks?

It still boiled down to bad line play during crunch time. Doug and Press need to figure something out here during the month of September.

Have to at least manage a 2 - 2 start. Every week, teams figure out a way to scheme their best players open on offense or at least get them into a scoring position.

Regardless of the situation. It's too easy to say it went all downhill after ETN's fumble. I get that. That's an easy out.

BUT... again. It's year [BLEEP] three. They have played in tougher situations as a team and staff. They have dug themselves out of deeper holes. You still had a 17 - 14 lead and you could have settled the team down better with the right calls.

They didn't do that. They shut themselves down in the 2nd half and it really falls back on the mental psyche of your football team. We'll see. Hopefully Sunday they can do the same to Cleveland but actually stick a dagger in them and twist it off for a convincing win.
