It'll be sort of difficult to throw the ball every down in January when the wind is blowing 60+ MPH in Foxboro.
Congrats on the win today, but being one dimensional aint gonna get you too far.

They need to learn to run the ball, passing the ball every play of the game wont get it done in the playoffs. You need to be able to control the ball, and really they are lucky to be undefeated with being as one dimensional as they are. Just ask the Lions how that goes.

its an old worn out myth that teams "have to have balance" in their offense.the Pats offense is geared to the pass, their offensive line is better at pass blocking than run blocking the colts are much the same in that respect while both teams do get not great but decent gains on the ground,its a deference in philosophy from some other teams thats all.I live in New Hampshire which isnt that far from Foxborough and i dont remember the last time we've seen 60+ mph winds.they will have no problem playing in the wind or any other kind of weather.

Well they really had no reason to run today. We both know the Steelers are bad against the pass, espically with Troy out and Smith as the other safety. I'd be happy if they don't learn to run, but I do agree that if they plan to get anywhere in the playoffs they better be able to run some as well.

I'm sorry that the Patriots embarrassed the Steelers tonight. A touchdown in worth 6 points regardless of how it happens. I don't know if you know this, but the Pats know how to play in bad weather. Wait, oh yea, I just remembered that the Dolphins almost beat the Steelers in bad weather. Why don't you just do this:
Worry about you're own team playing in bad weather!!

It worked as well as it had to today. If the Steelers were solid against the rush, the Patriots relied on the short pass, interspersed with the long pass. If the Steelers cheated toward the pass, the Patriots would have run more. Checkmate.

The Pats averagd 132 yards a game on the ground for the first 10 games. If they need to go back to running I think they'll be ok.
Next.

What did running the ball get your team today?
PS for all the clueless Haters,the Pats won SBs in 2001 & 2003
without a running game!

nope. they will get an average of 3 rushes and 5 yards a game with every rush being by tom brady
being one dimensional wont get you far for most teams, but 13-0 is pretty far. 15-0 in two weeks against the jets and dolphins. against the giants, we dont know

Is it fun to criticize a 13-0 team when you are 9-4? Sounds like fun...

Why do they need to run the ball they just schooled the best defense in AFC?
