This is the most troubling stat for me from the entire game. We're not gonna succeed throwing the ball 50 times a game. This isn't college, the spread offense doesn't work in the NFL.
I think we abandoned the run game way too early. I think Garrett did that because when the Bears shut down our running game we just gashed them with the passing game all night long. The only difference is the Bills knew where our true strength lies - our passing game. Buffalo did what teams have been trying to do all season - contain Witten over the middle, shut down inside routes or anything underneath, and thus force Romo out of the pocket to throw the ball vertically outside of the hash marks.
Once we went pass-heavy it was way too easy for the Bills' D to simply key on everything. Their LBs and defensive backs were sitting back there just licking their chops. I'm not totally absolving Romo of anything because he forced a lot of bad passes and made poor decisions, but Garrett has to put the offense in a position to score. We're gonna have to establish a healthy balance of pass and run because if opponents don't respect our running game we're gonna see a lot more games like tonight.
Once again, 50 pass attempts.
