What cost the Packers, and Broncos in the playoffs last year?
Rhahim Moore ring a bell? The Packers inability to stop the run? And the Saints set the record for pathetic last year giving up the most passing yards in the history of the NFL.
Shrugs???
Did I say that the qbs had NOTHING to do with the wins. Of course they did. But in the end, it took their defenses having that crucial stop creating that turnover, and sealing the game. That's all I was saying......

Elite QB play is practically a prereq to win multiple playoff games, so when everyone has an elite QB at that point, yeah, stuff like defense and other factors come into play.
It's like in hockey, when people say defense and goaltending wins championships.... yet, practically every year it takes a top 10 offense to win the Cup. Why? Because once you get to the 2nd round of the playoffs, every team has great goaltending and defense.
Same thing with QBs... it's much easier to get there with elite QB play, or else you need to be elite at several other positions (such as an entire defense), and by the time you're playing for hardware, just about everyone has a great QB, so those teams need defense and other positions to make the difference.
