They run the ball well and pass it well. I'm really getting tired of the argument "if it worked before it can work again" If we won without Finley we can win without him againIf we had a garbage defense and went 15-1 we can do it again In this league nothing is meant to last. Coordinators and coaches are working overtime trying to figure out how to stop what a team does well. Evolution people. Do you think the Broncos will be able to run that gimmick option offense with the same success next year and make the playoffs again? Highly unlikely. You have to make sure you are prepared for anything every week and do whatever it takes to ensure you win. Suppose teams figure out how to stop or slow down our success throwing the football, then what? Are you going to count on James Starks to lead our team to a win? I'm not saying being balanced is going guarantee a SB appearance even though teams like the Cowboys and Steelers and plenty of other teams have been balanced and done it before, but being one dimensional, you can't expect it to work all the time.</blockquote>
