The reality is that Lamar's novelty from last season has worn off! No one is surprised by him this season! Teams have found ways to neutralize his strength of running the football for huge gains by reducing him to prove to the defense that he can make the proper reads, find and then accurately throw the football to the open receiver for huge gains. He is struggling with that in his 3rd season as a QB.
The NFL stage (i.e. bouncing back from throwing picks, fumbles and playing from behind to win the game etc.) is starting to look to big for him IMO. I hate to say that but that is what it looks like to me.
I mean... i can't say the "bouncing back" concept was a problem today. We largely rallied from those turnovers.
We scored a TD immediately after Lamar's early pick six
Defense held after his fumble and we had a long TD drive two drives later
He mounted a strong drive to end the game after being stopped on 4th down prior to that.
Today I don't think it was being able to bounce back from adversity. I think it was the adversity itself. You just can't turn the ball over 4 times against a 6-0 divisional rival and expect to win. Can work against the Jets or worse teams, but not this team. The fumble inside the 10 yard line cost us at least 3 points. Second INT puts them in FG range and they get a TD.
At a minimum, his poor decision making cost the team a net of at least 12 points. One resulted in a PIT TD, one would have resulted in at least a PIT FG (actually became a TD) and the other cost the Ravens at least a FG.
You can't give wrap a net of 12 points to an undefeated opponent.
