EXACTLY!! We didn't try anything remotely down the field until the game was tied back up or we were down.. Our pass attempts were horizontal to the RB or 4 yd outs to the sidelines.. That's why stats lie.. I watched the shortcut (entire game cut down to 30 mins) last night again and was disgusted by the play calling on both sides of the ball.. Far too conservative!
Then to watch the Pats carve up the Bengals with the passing game and continue to be aggressive defensively by bringing pressure I was jealous from a playcalling standpoint.. I wasn't trying to compare talent, just philosophy.

We had wide open WR's that were wide open it was a case of JC not finding them. The Bengals also only had 2 LB playing in the game and had to use 5 lineman and that all the Pats needed in the second half. I also don't get the talk about our O Line because they have only gave up 5 sacks this year.
