Yesterday's game was great in terms that it is obvious that the play calling is not as trash as it was in September and October.  That's great.  But there still are issues in regards to how the offensive game planning and play calling is conducted against a team that can score against us.

Even with that said, Trevor Lawrence has the ability to be in the pocket and pick apart defenses.  When the OC gives him free reign to run the offense, Trevor picks apart defenses.  In my opinion, Yesterday's game was proof that Trevor can overcome bad play calling from his trash OC.  When one considers how well our Offense looked last year when Pederson was calling the plays versus how Trevor has to overcome play calls, it's night and day.  The O-Line gave Lawrence time, and Lawrence made great pass after great pass.  

Trevor Lawrence is clearly a top 3 QB in the league.  Yeah, there are mobile QBs that get the sports commentators excited.  But if you watch how Trevor plays the game while having to deal with terrible play calls, he's clearly right there with Mahommes.  

Imagine if Andy Reid decided to give up the offense to his intern.  Andy Reid never would do that.  I just don't know why Pederson is doing it.  And even with such a set back, Lawrence is still showing how great a QB he is.

Dude's a Franchise QB.  He'll be a Super Bowl MVP once the coaching staff figures it all out.  He is a franchise QB.

Pederson was calling the plays in the first half of games last season, but Press Taylor called the plays in the second half of those games.   You remember- when we kept coming back in the second half?  Press Taylor was calling those plays.

And besides, it seems a little silly to be complaining about the coaching when we're 8-3 and leading our division.

Yeah...  I don't buy that at all...  Agree to disagree...

If you honestly think that Press was calling plays last year in the 2nd half, then why were the play calling for the first 8 games so different from last year?  The fact that we all of a sudden decided it was a great idea to run ETN up the middle constantly this year, when we never did that sort of thing last year makes me think that Pederson is just trying to get Press a HC gig.

I watched ever play of every game last year and same with this year.  

The last 5 games have looked similar to last year.  The first 8 were absolutely nothing like how we ran the offense last year.  But I've actually broken that down before.  It's buried in one of these 100+ page threads...
