From the article nconroe references above::
"The Houston Texans and the Baltimore Ravens both scored 28 points against the New England Patriots in the playoffs. Baltimore only allowed 13 points. The Texans allowed many more. The narrative says Joe Flacco is clutch, and Matt Schaub is many bad names."
Steph brings up some great points, and yes, the D played a huge role in losing that game. However, when comparing Schaub/Pats vs. Flacco/Pats, Steph fails to mention the 'boob-play' factor. Yes, the 28 points are the same, but Schaub made so many poor plays it killed any hopes of realistically keeping pace with the Pats and pulling out a W. The only thing missing from his two games against the Pats was an ass-sack by one of his own OL.
