     Anytime one elects to throw the ball one of three things will happen 
and two of them are bad.  You can have a completion, incompletion, or 
interception.  While I am a big fan of the passing game I think some coaches 
in certain situations just don't want to take the chance.  I guess the game 
turned out all right.  ;-)  :-)  One thing to possibly consider is while we 
did have the three touchdown passes you mention the passing game in general 
wasn't hitting on all cylinders.
