He missed a few throws, sure.  But none of his missed throwed were game breakers.  On the flip side, his receivers betrayed him more so than Luke trying to keep Leia a secret to Vader. 

Trevor kept us in this game.  It was not his fault at all that we lost.  I've only been posting here for about 10 months, so I'm not sure exactly whey this thread is 67 pages long.  The discussion about whether or not Trevor Lawrence is a Franchise QB is clearly over.

Dude is a potential HOF'er so long as Doug Pederson doesn't [BLEEP] up his progression by forcing Press Taylor to design the plays and call the game on Sunday...

This right here.

We have been sloppy. Not sure if that means Taylor is rewriting the playbook or isn't calling plays in ways that Pederson has been, or if that would even be something that would make the team appear so disjointed.

A lesser QB would have given that game away. The D deserves a TON of credit for holding Mahomes & Co. to only 17. If we weren't so dang out of sync on offense, we are probably cheering for a win today. We had our shots, and blew them.

It's almost like we're calling plays fearing failure more than trying to dictate pace or style. Dipping toes in water instead of kicking a D right in the neck. I get that our line isn't going to allow a ton of time to develop plays way downfield, but when we started hitting on plays and marching right back to the line, that is precisely how you get a D to wilt in that Florida heat, and we just...stopped. GO FOR THE THROAT, coach.

I think self-doubt reigned the day. Not necessarily from our QB, but the entirety of the offense around him.
