They inexplicably went away from him in the playoffs, despite his big play ability and his knack for making tough catches. He should've been a 7-10 target/game receiver but instead was only thrown at 1-2 times/game, that simply can't happen. I think that's the over-arching point of the original post

I'm sorry ... Did Cole not catch a 40+ yard bomb down inside the 5 yardline to set up the game winning score in the Divisional round against Pittsburgh? He was very involved. But I think opposing teams started to recognize he was the big play threat and starting with week 17 began scheming to limit his explosive plays.

Yes..... you also just made my point. When the ball was thrown his way, good things happened, the ball just wasn't thrown his way enough. The GIF below is an example of my point, Cole quickly gets open against one of the better CB's in football in Stephon Gilmore, but the ball isn't thrown his way. He was playing at an unbelievable level at the end of the year for an un-drafted guy and deserved more targets, I don't think he was targeted in the Buffalo game and was only targeted a couple times against NE, despite making an insane sideline catch early in that game.
