More than Love's touches, I'm perplexed that our TEs were not much more involved. Only one reception by Schultz. Whether that is fully on Chryst for decisions made or throws not made I don't know, but that part was sorely missed.

I agree.  This is the strangest thing to me.  Just when we feel as if we have an elite group of TEs, they disappear.  Hitting them with regularity will punish the box-stacking and get the linebackers back on their heels.  They also could be quicker targets to hit so as to dampen the rush.  Given that our WRs are not getting much separation, why not go for the mismatches instead and do more with the TEs and less with the WRs.  And given that KC does not seem that accurate, give him big targets to hit.

The TEs are usually possession receivers--we need them to make third downs, sustain drives, etc.

They were obviously not a key part of the game plan.  There must be a reason, I suppose, but it doesn't currently make sense to me.
