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.
Yeah, I get what you were going after. I was just disagreeing with the statement that the playoffs is all about running and defense. A team's ability to run becomes very important in short yardage situations and in the redzone. The Bengals aren't very good at either which is where Cinci gets into trouble. They definitely need to make that a focus in the offseason. I don't see the trend changing during the playoffs after looking at how they have performed all season, but fingers crossed that they do!
