Bradshaw had 17 carries for 72 yards and was the top rusher. Eli threw it 40 times. It was in the NFC championship that Eli threw 58. Neither are power football Yes, they flustered Brady. I have nothing against defense. I like it quite a bit.

Is the point that gimmick offensive teams win some regular season games but never win anything of significance? And, has that not been the case?
1. Every offense is a gimmick of some kind. 2. Florida 08 was a gimmick offense, as you would describe it, and they did quite well, as I recall. 3. If your thought process is that the offense that Nick Saban runs must be superior because he wins championships, then you're ignoring his overwhelming talent advantage on both sides of the ball.
Oregon lost against LSU Oregon lost against Auburn Oregon lost against Stanford Oregon lost against Stanford again.
And if the point of Groves, Hat, or yourself is that offensive ingenuity is insufficient to overcome a massive talent disparity, then I can't disagree. The fourth graders are always going to have a tough time beating the fifth graders.
