Our first drive was five passing attempts and one run, then a punt. Our second drive was two passing attempts and one 5 yard run, then a punt. Our third drive was a 7 yard run by Jacobs followed by the Watson fumble.We didn't ever try to run the ball early on, and when we did, we had success. It is a FACT that LaFleur (he admitted to it) let Detroit dictate how he called plays and it burned us. On the fourth drive where we scored the touchdown, LaFleur called seven straight rushing plays and moved 45 yards. Overall on that drive it was 10 rushing plays and 4 pass plays. We scored.All of the evidence points to the reality that LaFleur played scared. When he went back to our bread and butter, we scored. Generally on all of our drives, when we started on first down with a run we eventually scored. When we started with a pass on first down, we generally had to punt. Good teams dictate to their opponents. We need to make them stop us, not try to take what they offer.</blockquote>
