[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 253750, member: 265"] Hold it a second. We did what we had to do to get to the fourth quarter against Miami with a chance to win. Remember, we obviously weren't trying to bomb them until the fourth. What we were trying to do is [I]hold onto the ball[/I]. Which, btw, we did to the tune of 19 more minutes then da U. When you play someone like them in our O the main thing you want to do is [I]keep their O off the field[/I]. Does that mean longer drives? Yep. Does it mean fewer points per drive? Probably. But the whole point is to keep the game close and try to be the last team with the ball. Take away the two turnover TDs and that is [I]exactly what we did[/I]. Both teams scored 21 points offensively, both had virtually identical production, we got 6 stops from the D, and we sat on the ball like a slug. That didn't help much after we got 14 behind by mistakes on successive series (hence the points per drive stats), but there is simply no doubt that we played well against them except for the two big mistakes. If we play like that against Pitt - and I expect we will - we will have a great chance to win. [/QUOTE]
