I can agree with that, but I thought we would still attack some. I just do not like that approach because if that play was overturned for TB we would have let another team back in the game by going conservative. It may be the right thing to do and we did get the win which I am estatic with, but this could have been another late 4th quarter comeback by the opposing team. It is all hindsight after the win, but like you commented we stop taking the chances downfield and ran on 1st and 2nd and passed on third. They are the #1 defense in the league they did not get their by being slouchy especially when we basically came in and had a same predictable routine. The offense will step it up in Seattle, but it is not a sign of regressing or our offense is absolutely horrible. We made this last run the final 5 weeks of the game after just attacking in the second half and not going conservative. I can't fault anyone though with the win and the way the defense came out and made the statement that this game belongs to us and no matter what you do we are going to match.
