There were a lot of variables at play, that you're right about, which contributed to our loss - most notably the horrific coaching and playcalling late in the game (which is disturbingly reminiscent of the same boneheaded woes from last year). 

We're looking at the problem from different ends or perspectives if you will. I'll keep harping on this that if he was indeed playing like a top 10 QB, he himself would have won us this game especially with those glaring missed opportunities - which ended up voiding potential points and touchdowns. And yes, his play improved from half-to-half, but that's not saying much with how abysmal his performance was from the outset.

LOL, beat you to it!

Dude, at the end of the day, Lawrence has to be better.  That's the bottom line.  I totally get it.  He's being paid like a franchise QB.  He needs to be good for 60 minutes.  He hasn't given us a full 60 minutes since god knows when.

I'm not saying you're wrong that Lawrence is looking bad.  I'm just saying I have faith that there's a chance he can live up to the hype...  It's just not going to be this year, apparently...  It just sucks that it looks like this is the end of any chance of a playoff run.

I just look at teams with these young HC's/OC's that are QB focused seem to get the best out of their offenses.  And our team is stuck in the mud.  It's been frustrating to watch for 2 seasons now.

It's unfortunate that our organization around him is in disarray, which does Trevor no favors, but I thought his talent could be able to mask some of the deficiencies present around him. This loss really hurts because it was against a division foe and it happened to be a game that was actually winnable for 99% of the game. Could have put us back in the race, but now things are statistically looking incredibly bleak for our playoff hopes.

Here's to hoping we can muster up a win against the clots next week in our throwback jerseys.
