20 of 28 is pretty impressive, particularly given that he was something like 13 for 15 at one point.

Still a more legit news source than Fox though

Come on. 19-27 for 136 yard is not impressive at all.
2/9 on 3rd downs is pathetic.
You don't score points by completing passes that don't result in first downs.
19-27-136 with a pick, 2 sacks and 2/9 on 3rd downs adding up to zero points, a missed FG, and going for it on 4th from around the 35 and failing, is about what is should add up to.
Your statement was that those passing stats make it surprising they only put up 7 points, and it really isn't surprising at all. Are you saying that teams put up great point totals completing 70% of passes for 7 yards per completion and converting 2 3rd downs all day? The numbers add up to the score.

If you want to think 13 for 15 and 20 for 28 is a recipe for 7 points, you go for it. Your point about the yardage is kind of my point, though, since I was talking about plays left on the table.

136 passing yards 2/9 on 3rd down an Int and 2 sacks is a recipe for ZERO points. We just say it.
You said Bradfords passing numbers should have produced more points. How? He threw for 136 yards and was 2/9 outside of the 7 points he got on the first drive.
You made a poor statement. If you can't admit you are wrong, thats on you. Have a good night.

Are you Ian Ball by any chance?

My statement was fine. You decided to post too hastily in response, instead of thinking my post through.

Bradford was 22 of 30 for 205, take away the 50 yard TD and he's 21 of 29 for 155 which really isn't impressive at all. Yes the 50 yard TD was impressive but the rest of his day was mediocre at best.

Strictly a yardage perspective.

What?
Thinking it through, you are trying to say that passing for 136 yards and going 2/9 on 3rd down with 2 sacks and an Int makes it surprising that they didn't score more points.
What is there to think through? How many points do you expect that kind of performance to amount to?

Deus Irae

What I'd put forth:

Completing passes was obviously not a problem for the Rams. The question, therefore, is whether Bradford was missing other open receivers deeper down the field (leaving plays on the table), or whether the defense was actually being successful in implementing a game plan.
