Here is a listing of some of the short field yardage given to the offense in those games that resulted in scoring:

7, 34 ,28 ,32 , 2 , 47 ,37 ,31, 45, 25, 45

I'm going to keep on giving the defense the lion's share of the credit.

On the opposite side though; we had eight touchdown drives in the postseason (plus a fumble return for a TD). The shortest was 18 yards (after Jack's INT against Pittsburgh), the next shortest was 61 yards, five drives were 75 yards or longer. That doesn't happen if your QB isn't playing at a high level.

He played at a high level in most of the game in pittsburgh and most of the game in NE.  For sure.
Again...  I'm not writing off the good things he did, I'm merely trying to put them into perspective compared to what the defense did to "get the team to the conference championship." 

The reports on Blake from OTAs are really, really encouraging. I'm very excited about what he might do now that he's got a firm grasp on the offense (and a quick chemistry it would seem with a receiving TE.)
