This is not me being glass half empty or finding something to complain about. Yesterday's game was as complete a game as I've seen, and my heart rate didn't get above, "the McRib is coming back!" levels as I watched this thorough beat down. (Well, maybe a bit elevated after Ransom sent Card flying into the first row of the bleachers!) 

However... if there is an aspect to nit-pick, I feel like our play calling on 1st down hasn't done this team any favors. I looked at the ESPN play-by-play and our average yards to go on 2nd down was 8.3 (in non-garbage time). Even if you include all the plays that went for a first down on 1st, that number is still 5.9 yds to go.

2nd and short is a beautiful thing and really opens up the playbook. I hope Chip can get us in that position more often. Any thoughts on this?
