People want to see scoring and TDs and passing and if that is what people want, that is what the NFL will strive to deliver.  Believe me, I live in Steeler country and the people around here complain to no end that football should be about running the ball and playing defense.

What do you think they do when Pig Ben bombs a TD to one of his WRs?  You think they complain that they didn't call a 2 yard run up the gut?  Nah, not quite.
