I hate that the passing game primarily only works when and only when we can establish the run first. Why?
Why can we mostly only win with this formula: dominant running game, complimentary efficient passing game, no TO's and dominant defense?
There are other ways to win right? It's been so long, I almost forgot!
ikr.... but I do miss it when we had top 3 defence which shut down ant top 10 QB'S. Brady, Rogers, Roethlisberger or anyone got man handled by our elite defence. I've always admired and loved for years how Pittsburgh and Ravens have always had a winning culture of strong defence. Don't get me wrong I know they have key offensive pieces but the teams vision never changes despite players departchers. If we are going back to 80s roots then we need to stand by it regardless bc that how teams stay good for such a long time.
