Over our last 3 games we beat the Jets, Cowboys, and Falcons by a combined score of 84 - 30, or an average of 28 - 10 each game.
Our O came out slow against both the Jets and Falcs, not having scored until the 2nd quarter in each game. They both had solid Ds.
We scored 21 unanswered points in the 1st and 2nd quarters against Dallas before they finally scored and they're D was horrible both games they played us. I don't know what their D stats were for the year, but I thought they stunk to begin with. Their O, however, is legit and we were still able to stifle them defensively in the one-and-done finale.
GB is certainly on an unearthly level compared to those teams, but we've been playing so much better recently. I was interested in what the numbers looked like since we started coming together during the Jets game. Our offense wound up dominating two teams with good / very good D's, and our D dominated one team with a very good O. They were different teams, too, that we beat -- one heavy on D (Jets), one heavy on O (Dallas), and one a jack-of-all-trades, but master of none (Falcs).
I don't know exactly what this means, but I think that it shows that we've become a lot more balanced (stating the obvious). These weren't great teams that we beat, but we beat all 3 of them convincingly in what were all essentially playoff games.
I think we've got a real chance to beat GB and win it all. I really do. I know it might seem a stretch juxtaposing those 3 teams against the elite that we'll be facing the rest of the way, but I think we are really, and finally, A COMPLETE TEAM. I've never been a homer, but I sincerely believe that we are more complete than any other team left in the playoffs and are as scary as any of them to play.
(Plus, special teams has been pretty darn good).
