I disagree. Trevor was still under a decent amount of pressure with the other attempts.

The self inflicted wounds also didn't make it any better on the offense.

Really getting tired of this same old [BLEEP] with Pederson and this offense though.

Flashes of brilliance with consistent flare up's of horse [BLEEP] on the field to make you forget about said flashes.

They have to consistently start playing like they have some sense, like they want to win these games and like they're in must win situations every week.

The easy sacks given up in obvious passing situations. The [BLEEP] turnovers within the redzone. The dropped passes.

It's year three folks. And it's the same old [BLEEP] again and again and again.

Part of that was Lawrence holding the ball too long. Did they play perfect? No but they played well enough to win.

I keep seeing this now and it makes little to no sense to me when you actually break the damn numbers down. 

21 pass attempts.
12 completions.
3 sacks surrendered.
3 passes dropped on third downs. 

On one sack, ONE, I'll say it was on Trevor for holding onto it too long. This occurred on the final series of the day where the DC introduced a new look secondary wise and everybody was covered. Everybody was blanketed.

So, again, I'll give you 1 out of 21 pass attempts as far as being on Trevor for not getting it out and taking the sack. Other than that? The rest of it is nonsense.

The team kept trying to run the football in the 2nd half like they did in the 1st half, and, it was pretty clear after ETN's fumble that the running game had lost it's mojo, because, the YPC dropped from 4 - 6 to 1 - 2. Probably due to being conservative not only in play calling but also in fear of turning it over again.

That's it. That's all it boils down to. Drive killers ultimately prevented this offense from enabling Lawrence to stack on more opportunities with his pass attempts. Period. The very first play of the game on offense was Harrison blowing his block on Campbell and Campbell asking Lawrence for a piggy back ride.
