It is not like we were pinned inside the 5 yard line.  We called the same plays starting from the 15 that we would have from the 20.

Are you serious?!  

You don't think that starting from your own 15 (or 11, by the way, which happened off the second kick-off, but how many times do I have to point out that you post false information and just assume that we'll all swallow it because it comes from you?) has an effect on play calling instead of starting from the 20?  

9 (or even 5) yards difference makes a big difference in play calling when you're that deep in your own territory because, for one, defenses will play a lot tighter and not fear giving up a big play because they know offenses won't risk having the quarterback stand in the pocket long enough to take a sack, making it difficult to complete shorter passes.

They'll also crowd the box more to stop the run.

It effected the play calling and mentality on those drives.

Could we have converted?  Sure, but the point is that there's no reason to make it that difficult and it also disrupts the momentum of our team and flow of the game.
