You can give all the kudos you want to Walter for his blocking, but his WR skills are average at best and it doesn't help the rookie QB. I'm not even going to bring up JJ because all know what a slug WR he is. But in addition to that, at least in the Colts game, Caldwell and Winston were downright awful and TJ didn't have any time in the pocket when he took and normal 3-5 step drop. Again, it is what it with TJ. He's a rookie for crying out loud so what did people expect? What I'm saying is it's not only him and this team has far deeper issues.
It's hogwash to say the D wasn't a factor in that loss. The Colts drove up and down the field the whole game - they just couldn't put it in the end zone. In addition, the Texans offense had a 5min+ drive before the last Colts drive, so they had plenty of time to catch their breath. They choked it just as much as the offense.

We ran for 170+ and gave up 19 points. The Defense also gift wrapped the offense a TD and let them play the entire game with a lead. Yates had more than enough help. The problem was his ONLY 3rd down conversion of the game was in the 4th quarter on a ball thrown 3 feet behind his WR that was then caught off a defenders back. He simply cannot put the ball where he wants to and the Colts made him.
