What I meant is 26 points against that team was acceptable and perhaps enough to win if the offence pulls its weight. Based on the 57 total and 5 point spreads the books predicted a 31-26 final. They were clearly outplayed on all sides of the ball and yes the defence gave up a ton of yards but they did their part by giving up 3's instead of 7's. I certainly didn't mean it's all on Brady and perhaps my choice of words was inappropriate but we all knew going in 16 points would never be anywhere near enough points to win.
