Having a deadly passing attack is great, but not always effective in short yardage on a short field where the route tree is cut in half.  Sometimes you have to be able to line up and run the ball, without the opposing defense looking at you and saying "I wish a MF would..". 

Having a running game that's able to grind out those have to have it yards becomes more important as the season gets into the bad weather games late in the season.

Those high flying greatest show on turf O's get grounded a good bit come December and playoffs.
