[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 469946"] Right. Correlation does not necessarily equate to causation. You mentioned the "if you're winning" scenario. On the flip side, if you're losing and forced to throw the ball in the second half, run frequency goes down. Further, the opposition expects the pass in that situation, plays a lot of nickel and dime, and the passing efficiency tends to go down. I agree that MM's play calling is head scratching at times; it's like he's spell bound by his game plan. You'd figure after Rodgers got sacked for the 4th. time in that Seattle game, he'd give up on 4 and 5 wide with an empty backfield. Of course not. Let's continue to signal 100% pass with minimum protection to prove the game plan correct in defiance of all the evidence. When things are not working, he's slow to move to Plan B...not until halftime. Conversely, when he ran a pass play out of a two tight end front against Houston, I nearly fell out of my chair. Where has that been all season? I'll bet the average engaged fan can watch them line up and guess pass/run correctly 80% of the time. This not to say I consider our current running game sufficient. It is not, and I've said before it will cost us. However, we don't need a Gore or a McCoy to make this offense run. Just something a bit better than we've got...15 carries for 60 yards in a healthy James Starks kind of way ought to be enough. Or Benson was that guy. But what are you gonna do until you get to the next draft/FA period. Make lemonade out of lemons, and the D has pick up some of the slack. Maybe Starks can get back in gear and add some punch.
