"Tough defense and a strong running game will get you victories." I saw this on youtube.

what was that nonsense anyway?

That was comical.

If we run, run, run, and end up in third and long all the time, then Ben is screwed.

We have to avoid third and longs as much as possible

Especially since the OL can't pass protect and Bruce Arians doesn't know how to counter the blitz putting Ben in 3rd and long situations is suicide.......

The Bobsey twins strike again.

We need to dictate to any defense how the game is going to be played, whether we pass or run is up to us. It would help if we had a OC who knew the potential of this offense and game plan accordingly.

those guys are funny!!

they make some valid points; our team always won games by running the ball, playing tough defense, good special teams, and basically asking the offense to run the ball and mix in some passing. Now though this team is different and the offense is different and they seem to still have not found their identity. Tomlin preaches they want to run the football and we do but then we pass a lot more now so it's really trying to find something that works and using both to our advantage but more importantly is knowing how to gameplan properly for the opponent you against so you can best execute your offense. We seem to never gameplan for anyone we just do our own thing week in and week out and hope it works and when we do gameplan it backfires..like last week.
