Anyone concerned about the Running Game last night? - New England Patriots Forums

I mean, if you look at it based just on the numbers, they were great, but considering Cincy's LB corps were held together by string cheese, you'd think we would've absolutely destroyed them on every single run. Take away that one big run by Morris and the running game doesn't look THAT good.

Morris was running just fine most of the time. I'm shocked that every run wasn't a 50 yard TD . . . but the running game wasn't a concern in the least.

The Pats gained 173 yards on the ground without their starter. What else do you want?

You can apply that logic to any game you want. If means nothing. Trust me I am one of the ones who think Lomo is injured to often. Fact is the crappy d's who have nothing to lose step up and play well A LOT of the time.

Take away all the runs, and our running game sucked.

I woke up very concerned about our running game.

That makes no sense to me. Are 100 yards of rushng only valid if you get it with a bunch on 10 yard runs?
