So if we score a bunch of points and it still happens are you going to stick with your theory?

I read an interesting article somewhere recently that basically made the point that a team coming back to win carries more psychological weight in the minds of fans than simply winning by a non blowout margin.

So, for example, when the Ravens come back against the Cardinals they are praised for being gritty, for making adjustments, for Flacco, Boldin, and Rice being able to raise their game when it counts. If they had just won that game 30-27 without having to come from behind then everybody would be talking about how the Ravens are overrated because they can't blow out a bad team.
