A decent running game is sometimes needed but not as much as some believe IMO. The Colts in 2009 made the SB with the last ranked run game and barely could run the ball in the AFC playoffs vs. the Ravens or Jets. Granted it was indoors and all but still........
In the SB vs. the Saints the run game was there and the Colts went away from it.
Strangely enough the Colts have defied a few things in the playoffs. In 2006 they had a historically bad run D who was ranked dead last and they went on to win a title. In 2009 they had the last ranked rushing O and went on to be in the SB and come close.
You just need the threat of the run at times. You don't need to be the Texans. They have to have the run to win. The Packers do not. Not to mention the Packers have a QB who can run. I almost expect Aaron to do a lot of running in the playoffs even though sometimes it can be dangerous.
moral of the story: Did they win the superbowl?
