A perfect example of how statistics can tell you one thing when your eyeballs tell you another.
The offense last year, unlike nearly every other season, could not perform when it most needed to. No stat is going to convince me other than what my eyes could plainly see.
"When it most needed to?" The collapse in Indy was indeed a team effort - and if the O could've moved the ball better in the 2nd half or just made a play or two more, we would've won a 4th Super Bowl. But the choke job was on the defense, too, if not MORE. The offense managed to put 27 of the Pats 34 points on the board.
And quite frankly what your eyes tell you is in serious question if you're killing the offense for not getting it done. Considering the personnel, I'd say the offense did a pretty damn good job.
