Just because how well you run the ball doesn't really affect your chances of winning doesn't mean there's no value in running it at all. Sometimes you run the ball just to keep the defense honest.

Does this mean we need a better QB, since a better running game wouldn't have helped Romo anyway?

We need a better performance in the passing game and a better performance from our pass defense. How to go about that is the question -- Would another QB be better? Other receivers? Better pass blockers? Better coverage players in the secondary and at linebacker? Better pass rushers? Other schemes on offense and/or defense? All of the above? How many of the above are feasible.
Those are the questions that we should be addressing this offseason.
