[QUOTE="mradtke66, post: 994189, member: 4199"] One of the interesting parts is that passing is, in general, much more efficient than running. In our bad passing games, we still averaged ~5.5YPA. Second, the whole offense was out of sorts due to our lack of pass catchers. Load up the box to stop the run and you can even play zone with that to help shutdown the short passing game. Taking what the defense gave you, for the Packers in 2023, was more often the medium and deep shots. Those defenses could dare us to beat them deep AND win that bet because they were right. Watson's return forced more teams into 2 high shells and just like that ([I]EDIT[/I]: somehow deleted this) the running game improved. If you're not picking up first downs, running doesn't appreciably hold the ball longer. That said, against the Bills, I'm not sure what else anyone can ask from a running game. 31 carries and 6.7 YPC for 207 yards. Do you want to have Dillon and Jones play keep away from the refs? How are they going to control the ball longer? I'd say you're right, but not in the details. The Eagles won that game because the 49ers were unable to pass the ball at all once their quarterbacks got hurt. No deep throwing, the Eagles D keyed on the run and short stuff. Lots of 3-and-outs. The Eagles had more than 2x the number of 1st downs (11 vs. 25.) I put a lot of that on game flow. Up 14-0 against a team that has 0 healthy quarterbacks? And never got within 2 scores the rest of the game? I'd hope you'd run a lot in that situation, but again, game flow. Also being the Eagles, Run-Run-Run-Run works fine when you're willing to go for 4th. [/QUOTE]
