Passing this much is not sustainable

Let’s consider yesterday in perspective; a “snapshot” if you will.  Andy Dalton HAD to throw it 51 times.  I didn’t like seeing that — and neither did Zac Taylor or Brian Callahan — but with no run game it was the only way to move the ball.  I’m not faulting Zac for calling all those pass plays, either, and the fact that he didn’t keep trying the run is commendable because he knew it wasn’t there.

35/51 for 418 yards and two touchdowns is an anomaly.  Don’t forget this.

I agree with this. You still have to be able to run the ball against another team's base defense. We couldn't. It played a role in the loss yesterday. We only scored 3 points in the second half.
