Yes, I think running in those situations would be more advantageous to actually scoring touchdowns. I'll give you an example:
Philadelphia game 2016 (1st meeting)
We get 1st and goal from the 6 with like a 1:30 remaining in the first half in a tie ball game. Would be a perfect time to run the ball since we are in no hurry to score. The faster we score, the more time Philly has to answer before half. We drop back to pass, incomplete and stop the clock. No big deal, run on 2nd down and force Philly to use a timeout if we don't score. Get closer to goal line and then have option to run or pass on 3rd down. Nope, we pass on 2nd down and throw interception. It was a bad decision by Dak, but even if incomplete or is a TD, the clock stops and Philly has plenty of time to go score themselves. Even if the 2nd down play was incomplete and not intercepted, on 3rd down we would have almost certainly passed again. So, 3 plays from the 6 yard line would have resulted in only a few seconds ticking off the clock.
This happens too often. It occurred in the 1st half of the 2016 playoff game. Got 1st and 10 at the 15 yard line with 75 seconds left with timeouts to stop clock if need be. We threw 3 straight times taking only 15 seconds off clock and settled for field goal. This left 60 seconds for Rodgers to move down the field and match our field goal. Thankfully the defense held that time.
This happens too often. There are plenty of other examples. And yes, I think continuing to run in these situations increases our chances of scoring and it is important to keep running because the clock keeps moving. If running doesn't increase our chances of scoring then why get Zeke. Let's trade the dude and get better receivers or QB.
You asked me if I agreed. Someone is getting pissy.
