    Against any other team, this board would be full of complaints about the offense following yesterdays game.

    "sure we dominated them but we settled for four FG attempts."

    "This will not fly against a good team"

    "That game reminded me of the Houston game of '06"

    "Thanks to the inefficient O we let them have the ball back on the last drive with a chance to win"

    "A good QB would have capitalized on all of our missed opportunities"

    "We can't always count on our D to save us"


    Yet against the worst D in the league it seems that all is okay with four FG attempts. Twice we were inside the ten, once inside the 20, and the missed one we were down at the 26.
    Against this same defense last season, we couldn't move the ball until we were down 23-3. I have never seen the Steelers offense have as much success against New England, as it did yesterday. We pounded the ball against them in 04, but Belichick has always been able to slow down our offense and Ben.

    This all seems typical lately though. We start super fast, Ben is on fire, and then once we are up double digits, we get a little sloppy, so I see where you're coming from.
