Aside from that, I've never really thought Tight Ends killed us or anything. Of course, I know some have felt differently...obviously.
Stats may not show it, but all I remember is the opposing TE's making those big plays that eventually led to our loss, more so with the Squeelers that seem to have had us well studied.
We were winning and just needing to hold them off to get the W and boom, open TE for a TD or for a huge gain that kept them alive or gave them that huge play to win it in that same drive.
I could be wrong but I think that's why everyone feels opposing TE's were crucial in beating us.
