Define "lucky".
We had a few close finishes where we kept our nerve and one side of the ball or the other came through to pick up the win. I wouldn't say any of that was down to luck personally.
I think "luck" and coming through to pick up the win can be seen as one and the same thing in different peoples eyes! For example, Eli's pass to Tyree in the SB could be seen as a lucky play, or a great play by QB and WR. But from the games I remember, your home game vs the Bucs was left late and I think a kick off return sparked a comeback on that one. Green Bay was another one where if Green Bay could've run the ball to a half decent standard they'd have been out of sight. The other one I can think of was the 49ers ( think) when White came up with that amazing forced fumble!
Like I said you will no doubt come back with the fact that they did what they needed to do, which is a fair point. How do you fancy your chances next year? Matty Ice (or is it Matty Slush after the playoffs
) and Micael Turner are probably my favourite QB / RB combo.
