We don't have the wide receivers to succeed with this long term in my opinion. Our offensive line is also a better run blocking line right now. As far as good football, they lost.

Im not assuming anything. I’m fine with the way the offense played other than the fumbles. And I don’t think Reich called those. Besides the turnovers on offense, go look at what the defense did from about 5 mins remaining in the second quarter through the end of the game. I don’t understand why guys thing having 4 more runs would have changed that. You are assuming the team could have tried to enforce their will and ran the ball while maintaining the same offensive efficiency. I think that is a big assumption, but even if you assume that unless you specifically remove the turnovers then 3 more runs wouldn’t have mattered one bit. Other than the Hines fumble TB wasn’t given short drives and the Colts D wasn’t going three and out and putting a tired D back out there. TB scored 38 points. Yet the issue is the Colts offense?
The only way 3 more runs affect the outcome is if you cherry pick specific plays that were turnovers.
