That's just efficient as heck.

I'd say there's more unanswered questions about most of the 1st round picks from the last two or three years than there are about him personally. I'm just happy we have a 6th rounder that can put up 19/20 for 3 TDs and 0 picks. 0 fumbles in 4 sacks is also impressive.

Any YPA is going to look good when you complete 95% of your passes. Our yards per completion are the second lowest in the league. Dink and dunk was a fair representation.

Yards per attempt is a much better yardstick of success than yards per completion.  We used 20 plays to get 173 yards.  AND, very importantly, we got TDs.  

Also, don't forget, we had a long pass to Chark that got a pass interference penalty. 

We punted 3 times.  As I recall, one punt came on a series where we had a holding penalty that set us back, another punt came on a series were we gave up a sack.  Those kinds of things will stop any offense. 

We were effective.  That's what counts.
