Yes, they had some narrow victories, and yes, they lost 6 games, there aren't many winning teams who don't do a little of both, but my point was that they were also winning a number of those games by wide margins. By example there were several games where they weren't "eeking out wins", but instead handling their competition easily, and putting up droves of points in the process.

I never said anything about scraping their way to the Lombardi. You're only hearing/reading selectively and interpreting it however you choose.

No. The problem is not with my interpretation.

It is straightforward. The Packers did not have a balanced attack. They were 5th in passing and 23rd in rushing. You can spin as you want, you can tell me that the sky is red. But the facts remain the facts.

You neglect that your original comparison was with us "eeking" out wins, but we have had some close wins and a big win - much like the Packers last year.

We could also talk about other teams which were unbalanced and played many close games yet still won the Super Bowl, something which you said didn't happen. The Steelers, the Patriots one year, the Ravens - there are many other counterexamples to your point.

So, let's sum up: you were rude to another Warpath member on your way to making an erroneous statement. Now, rather than admitting your mistake, you are being rude to me. You are not making friends nor are you offering arguments to which we should listen.
