As I said in the game thread, we blew a big lead to the Bengals. We beat Washington in DC. We had a good chance to win in Philly. We could have, and should have if it weren't for the 2 fumbles, won this game today. We aren't far off from possibly being undefeated, or at worst 3-1.

And we're freaking young, and missing key players due to injury, in theory, we should better as the season goes on. So why can't we be a playoff team?

I mean, by that logic, the Colts were a playoff caliber team last year. But the reality is: they're not a good team and needed Andrew Luck magic to elevate them to the possibility of winning this.

The defense has played unexpectedly well in this still young season, including today.

The offense gave 14 points to the Texans in regulation, and they also failed to take advantage of an INT by the defense with extremely questionable play calling on 2nd and 3rd downs immediately after said INT, which forced a punt.



If the offense had been more efficient (and less disastrous) in the first place, they would not have needed all of Luck's magic to make the monumental comeback which they made to force the overtime period.
