That was one of the most efficient offenses in the NFL (as evidence by their 7th ranked Offensive DVOA). Also, 8 of our games were against teams ranked in the top 10 defensively. In our division alone we had 3 of the top 10 d's in the league and all ranked in the top 15... Overall a very tough schedule.
I agree. Although at the time we complained about it a lot, in retrospect our offensive line was above average, not mediocre. Additionally, we had some really good blocking tight ends, in particular Zach Miller. Plus we were a run first, ball control team, which tends to keep down the offensive stats.
