From week 13 on, they passed the ball 66% of the time. Over the course of the playoffs, they threw the ball 67% of the time. So far, Cincinnati is throwing the ball 68% of the time this season. Over the last two games, that has been 75% of the time but this isn't anything unheard of, as Cincinnati threw the ball 71% of the time over the Ravens/Chiefs game towards the end of last season.
Cincinnati is running the same split that got them to the Super Bowl, is what I am saying. The fact that this has been deviated from over the last two weeks isn't unheard of, as they did it last season. However, the run game is absolutely atrocious this season. Significantly worse than last season. If your running game is this bad, it doesn't make sense to run more. It only hurts you.
Agree somewhat, but just as the heads were saying, passing out of run heavy formations will keep the opposing LBs and secondary honest. And, when we do run, we'll have proper blocking, hypothetically of course.
Mixon looks spent. Run Perine and Evans more often.
Running everything through the Shotgun is allowing the opposing LBs and secondary to jump everything. Running 80% of the offense out of the Shotgun is actually hindering the offense as a whole. JB's passing numbers are good, but our record isn't. Something needs to be altered to balance this offense.
The defense has been creating turnovers. We can't blame them.
NE has been doing it for years with inferior talent. They got by Cleveland. Something that that Cincy has only done like one time in the last ten matchups.
