So even though 2 or 3 games were lost because of problems with the kicking game we also ended up with breaks in two others.

Either way it's kind of impressive to come away with 6 wins despite having the 31st ranked defense, 30th in rushing, and a QB with a sub 80 rating. The defense this year should finish no worse then 17th and now come in with top 10 potential with all the new parts coming in. The running game can go either way finishing in the 20's or just as easily in the top 10.

Little doubt though that the formula is set. Run the ball, play tough defense, and if Beck develops great, if not use the passing game when you can.

Actually, the 1st Eagles game was even closer. If Avant had made that catch, Eagles win.

If Rogers makes the interception, Avant doesn't even have a chance to make the catch

If Rogers catches the two or three passes that Peyton Manning threw directly at him, we probably win that game as well.

But Rogers normally chokes in big moments like that. It's not a matter of "if", it's matter of "won't" with Rogers. Avant only started choking last year.
