By the way, why aren't we throwing some blame Fournette's way?  How many times did he rush for only one yard on first and second down?

He threw 4 or 5 passes well behind his receivers including coming up short on the late pass to Westbrook.  Westbrook clearly slowed down for the football and the DB was able to bat it. It's a TD if it's thrown two feet close to the pylon. 

I'm not sure why he's getting a pass on this from so many. He played pretty good, but he left some big gains and a TD out there IMO. 

His performance was the testbook definition "you can win with this guy, but he can't lead a team to the championship."
  It's a bit cliché - but he encapsulated that phrase perfectly with that performance.
 He played pretty but came up short Had he played "really good" they win that game even though there were several other factors contributing to the loss. 

In this league he's a mid-tier asset - but you've got to keep mining for an upgrade in the draft IMO.

At one point in the game, he was 13 out of 15 with a TD. What changed? Not Blake. For some reason, they took Grant out of the game. 
Also, I've looked at the last pass to Westbrook. It was right on the money. The safety made a great play. 
Blake has no help. None.  The OL didn't help him yesterday. God knows Fournette didn't. 
I don't have a problem drafting a QB next year - I'd love to see it.
