A competent QB (which JB is not) and a competent kicker (which AV is not), and this is a 10 win team this year. Everything else is in place, we just suck at the most important position in today's NFL, and we suck at the most critical position (kicker).

If you have a starting QB you are not putting hope on a kicker.

Not that it makes any difference because it would not have been a first down, anyway.

If not, it was shades of Fran Tarkenton against the Steelers from Super Bowl IX.

When did the Oline start calling the plays?

They don't have someone who creates a match-up problem at receiver. Sure, Pascal can catch, but if you're asking him to have this game every week and counting on TY to play 16 games--not happening. Luck would've lost a game or two this year as well, he was always good for a few stinkers. No way this team would've been any better than right there with the Texans as a first or second round playoff exit.

TB has a very good DL. Chances were better passing

Yep, no one should be surprised. This was a 6-8 win team all along with 8 always being our ceiling given the situation at QB, the youth and holes on defense, the complete and utter garbage that is our WR corps.

It's just that the 5-2 start gave us some unfortunate false hope. I still have faith that Reich is an elite-potential head coach, but I am a little frustrated with his play calling over the past month or so.

Front office needs a lot of blame too.

Maybe. But I think they got blindsided by Luck quitting right before week one. Nothing much they could do after that
