I'm no expert but it sure looked like the play calling went into prevent on both sides of the ball after the fumble.  With the exception of the 4th and insane call of course.

Covered elsewhere, but I've shown that those "conservative" calls were the right call for the situation and game momentum. Before the fumble they were driving for a 3 score lead, after the fumble the players failed to A. convert 3rd and 1 and B. catch a 3rd and 5 right in the hands. Those had nothing to do with play calling and everything to do with execution. Had Lawrence rolled out and gotten sacked on 3rd and 1 like the 1st play of the game these folks would've [BLEEP] themselves clamoring for a run play. As always, if it worked no one would be upset but since it didn't it was a bad play call.

Anyway, I think the TrevoBank thing is silly. Save it for December when he's in the thick of the MVP race to get some publicity.
