I kinda disagree with this belief that we got lucky and we were outplayed and still managed to win. Yes we only had 104 yards of offense, but the game was 6-3 in the third when Ginn got his first run back. Then we got the TD from Taylor. Had it not been for the fumble by Bess they wouldn't have scored there, and our offense would have gotten another drive. If you think about it, both those TD's by Ginn were drives taken away from our offense, so I think that really skews the stats quite a bit. Especially since they were playing from behind and airing it out alot. I think if Ginn doesn't return the first one the game takes on a whole nother look. It probably ends up being like 13-10. So my point is, we held them to 6 points through the first 2 and a half quarters, if not for Bess's buttery digits they probably have 6 going into the 4th. I say thats good.

Not to mention the fact that the offense did not touch the ball for 13 minutes and when they finally did, went 67 yards in 13 plays and took 8 minutes off the clock.

Stats don't always reflect what really happens in a game. Example from yesterday:

Eagles 390 yards
Giants 350 Yards

Yet the Eagles dominated the game and the scoreboard.
 
We stunk for most of the day and stilll won, thats what the real world witnessed. It's a win, enjoy it, Lord knows we pissed a few away this year. I'll take it.

Actually your wrong, that's what people who think good football is a 49-47 score. That was two good defenses at each other, Ginn broke the battle open which seemed to open the flood gates on both sides. I know it wasn't a thing of beauty but it was from stinky.
 
Miami has been on the wrong side of these type games that it is sweet when we do get one.

Doubly so against the JESTS, to complete the sweep.
