T-RO;2977475 said:We ran for 250 yards against the Giants and lost.
Miami ran for 500 yards (seemed like) last Monday night against the Colts and lost.
Tampa Bay gashed us in week one with running--and lost.
You only win consistently in the modern NFL through the quarterback, downfield weapons and in scoring 28 points or more.

Oldschool7;2977508 said:Super Bowl teams now pass the ball 60% & of the time now and get nearly 70% of their yardage through the air. Teams win Super Bowls with third string running backs as long as they have good quarterbacks.
And why are you bringing defense into the discussion? The topic is offense.
The Steelers and Cards were ranked like 22nd and 28th in rushing last season and how the heck were they in the Super Bowl?
It's funny because people think of the Steelers as a power running game when they have been nothing of the sort since Bettis. Offensively they ride on the pass, as do the other two dominant teams of the era, the Pats and the Colts. All three of those teams have had virtually anonymous and inter-changeable runners.

Bleu Star;2977620 said:So true. Our strength is the running game.
theebs;2977070 said:I cant wait to see all the same people who wanted a conservative game from romo complain about this.
This game tonight is exactly what every whiny fan and media member begged for.
They all got it, some moments of the game were carbon copies of the game against ny and this time romo was smart and the backs got the ball.
Yet I know the media and most of the fans are going to complain.
