The team who ends up passing the ball better usually ends up winning. There is very little correlation to a strong running performance and playoff success. Since 2010, we can only explain 3.5% of the difference in playoff victories if we look at the running game performance. When we look at passing game performance, we can explain about 25.5% of the difference in playoff victories. That's a massively significant difference.
You get into the playoffs and you throw the ball well and play good defense, you have a better chance of winning games. Yesterday is a prime example of this.
Championship teams do both well, generally speaking.
Yes, the team with the better passing attack wins more often, but you're not going to get there if you can't run effectively and balance your offense. That's the point of this thread.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
