[QUOTE="SpartaChris, post: 315291, member: 1007"] Bullsh*t. We've had this debate ad-nauseum ever since Grant went down. Spare me the "Must have super deluxe high performance run game if we want to win" nonsense. The 2008 Steelers were ranked 23 in rushing. That is NOT a great running game. Their Super Bowl opponents, the Cardinals, were #32. 2007- Giants were 4th in rushing. Patriots were 13. 2009- Saints were 6th. Colts = #32. BTW, in that super bowl win, NO's top rusher ran for 33 friggin yards. Indy's went for 77. NO's second leading rusher went for 25 yards rushing, for a total of 78 yards on the ground between the two. Yup, running the ball sure had an impact in their winning the Super Bowl! Their run game didn't even play that big a role in the NFC Championship game. They did pick up a lot of yards in the divisional game, but that's what happens when you blow out an opponent. It simply DOES NOT MATTER. You can go back and look at every Super Bowl champion for the past 10 years or so and you'll see that half the time they rank in the top half of the league in rushing and half the time they don't. IT DOES NOT MATTER. [/QUOTE]
