BTW - Trevor's final drive for a TD yesterday alone outperformed Stroud's entire damn game against the packers defense. Maybe turn your ire back inside your own glass house there. 

And you harping on a career stat that has altered radically for the better this year just makes you look desperate to find fault. 
"BuT hE THrEw alL tHosE PicKs BeFoRe!! WhaaaaAa!"

Yesterday's turnovers consisted of a rookie receiver not curling on a curl route and a defender poking out the ball when TL was scrambling away from pressure given up by his linemen. I don't excuse either one of them - but the context is worthy of knowledge if you are going to take ONE GAME from this season to resurrect an otherwise dead argument. 

Give me a break. 

You want to pick apart the film in his 3 "bad" games from this season and build an intelligent argument why he should be better than that in year 3 of a Pederson offense?  I'd listen to that. But this argument is weak as hell.

To the bolded, the angle they showed on the jumbotron in the stadium showed BTJ not looking back for the ball until it was way too late. I love BTJ.  He's been our best receiver and a clear early significant contributor as a rookie which you love to see, but he is a rookie and will make rookie mistakes and this appears to may be one of them.  Had he looked, he could have curled in as you mention and been in front of the defender with the best chance at catching the ball.  

Also, Hacker mentioned in the post game that Kirk was also in the vicinity and it looked like maybe BTJ didn't get down field fast enough to take McKinney with him and that the pass might have actually been intended for Kirk (this is also what the TV announcer suggested when I re-watched the play at home).  I don't think Doug/Press are dumb and draw up bad plays like some might think (there may be some issues, I just don't think this is one of them), but two guys in the vicinity as close as they were without it being a pick play indicates to me that someone was out of position and if so that it was probably BTJ.  Or maybe Kirk ran a bad route/angle and got there quicker than he was supposed to which actually might make more sense because BTJ is anything but slow.  BTJ could have gotten tangled up and slowed at some point though.  Either way, Kirk's route was a deep crosser from what I can tell on the tv screen and BTJ's was a go and Kirk was almost in that same spot at almost the same time.  I'm sure you or someone will take a look on the all 22 and see better what the issue was.

Yeah - I saw the replay on twitter today and it looks like he was counting on Kirk beating his guy on the crosser and come out uncovered but it didn't happen. Which puts it a bit more on TL since it means he led him a step too far with the throw. 

I'll try to login to all22 later and see those angles. 

Regardless it does appear one or both of the receivers did not end up where they were supposed to be in addition to a probable wide throw from TL.
