Putting up a lot of points fools a lot of people too.
It doesn't explain the Jets coming really damn close to a Super Bowl two years straight. Or the 49ers being a goat performance away from an NFC conference championship. Or a Jim Caldwell offense ripped on by this board for being too conservative winning a Super Bowl. Or an extremely efficient Eli Manning offense winning his first Super Bowl.
It also doesn't explain why many of the explosive QBs have had such mixed success in the playoffs.
Putting up points isn't the only pre-req for postseason success.
