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.

1) "One fascet of an offense overcompensating for a weaker area in the offense" is the definition of a lack of balance.
2) You neglected to mention all of their narrow victories, their six losses, and the fact that they barely got into the playoffs. While they had some big wins (as did we against the Giants this year), most of the time they were scrapping.
Your initial point was that teams which lack balance don't scrap their way to the Lombardi. Why don't you just admit that you were wrong when you so clearly were?
