They're still a really good run defending team and they were passing it better on in the 1st half. It was frustrating to see them go run, run, pass on 1st, 2nd and 3rd downs in that order. 

Just no creativity at all.

Yeah, its a quality defenses but this is the NFL.  Look who is calling the plays.   Doug would rather get fired than take over play calling.

I think it's more a matter of it doesn't matter if Press or Doug is making the call, we're doomed to limited productivity. Even moreso if Mac is under center and teams can just stack the crap out of the box and force us to third and longs all day.

Bourbon distilleries ought to send Shad a thank you card for the spike in business his franchise affords them

I'm not saying Trevor isn't injured but he was able to play the rest of the Philly game, Doug says he has no idea where the surgery talk had come from and that it's a pain tolerance injury. Just feels there's something more to this. 

I find it odd that Doug is already saying Mac Jones 'will be better' against Detroit.

"Another opportunity, another week to work," Pederson said of Jones, a day after the Jacksonville native completed 14 of 22 passes for 111 yards, and had two interceptions, a fumble and three sacks. "He'll work from it. Obviously he takes it hard, takes it personal, which he should ... we all do. But we have a ton of confidence in him."

He also says he can't offer any news about Trevors injury until Wednesday when the team next practices. So he can't rule Trevor out but can say Mac Jones will be better in the next game? I also don't think he'd be talking about Trevor the same way with the amount of turnovers and how bad they were. I'll just leave you with this from another article

'The issue for Pederson is that, this time, he didn't have Trevor Lawrence to elevate the offense. The quarterback who Pederson has frequently jabbed in press conferences is the same player who keeps the Jaguars' offense together and makes it even halfway functioning'

what I'm reading is that once Detroit can get into prevent defense, Mac should be able to improve on his remarkably poor stat line from this past Sunday.
