I consider one fascet of an offense overcompensating for a weaker area in the offense, a form of balance. And they had a pretty good defense too as far as I can remember. They also lost Ryan Grant for the season in game 1, and Finley for the year in game 5. Against us. 34-7 vs Buffalo in week 2. 9-0 vs the Jets in week 8. I realize it's not a blowout by any means, but it's still more points then we've won by in the last 3 games. 45-7 in week 9 vs Dallas. 31-3 in week 11 vs the Vikings. 34-16 in week 13 against San Fran. 45-17 in week 16 vs the Giants. That doesn't strike me as a team who is "eeking out wins on a weekly basis". And if you take this season into account it appears as if their geared up to represent the NFC in the Superbowl in back to back seasons.
