What does Riddley have to do, to get some run. At one point will the coaches (Bill Obrien) on this team understand, that they can't just go empty backfield on every freaking play.

BOB doesn't know how to call good run plays. How many times did he run BJGE on the draw? How many times did he run Woodhead right up the gut? Why was Edelman in the backfield at all??? Quit trying to fit square pegs in round holes. Run Woodhead on the outside, BJGE on the inside, and Riddley all over the place.
We need to run it more period. How many times does our offense have to fail in the playoffs for us to realize that you can't rely solely on Brady's arm to go all the way. It may look fantastic at times and unstoppable but in January it will be slowed down at some point. You have to RUN and rely on your defense by not putting them in tough situations.
Yes, the defense as it currently stands will not win us games but we saw marked improvement last year as the season went on, I expect the same this year. But you can't rely on them if the other team is starting in our territory 4-5 times a game like the Jets in the divisionals last year.
Been saying it for a while now. As great as 2007 was and weeks 1-2 this year, I would love to see more ball control out of this team, less of this spread formation stuff.
I actually don't mind this loss because it highlights one of the huge problems with this team. They put too much pressure on just Brady. Every now and then you have lean on your running game with an athletic RB like Ridley. You might not score as many TDs and have to settle for FGs but you're a lot less likely to give up big turnovers and you'll have better ball control.

The biggest issue is they don't even want to run it, when it's successful, or even when the other team is conceding the running game. This has been going on for 4 years at least.

I like the stable of RB's the Pats have...it's how that dummy of an OC uses them ( or doesn't) that puzzles alot of us.....
Stevan looks like with some reps he will be a very good RB....BJGE is a one trick pony...decent but not flashy.....Need to mix it up and use Ridley more...

Agreed. He looked good, outside of the slip. I understand it's a new turf and slick.
