If directly debunking an inaccurate statement makes one look like a child, then I guess I'll just look like a child. You explicitly stated that if BJGE gets the ball X number of times the Pats will win. This betrays a clear lack of understanding of the blurry cause and effect relationship between running attempts and winning.
Your premise is wrong, no matter how many words you throw at it. When a defense is shutting down the run because of poor offensive line play, the effect of deception diminishes greatly. Your premise might* apply if the Pats had a lesser QB, but not always and certainly not in the Pat's case. When your OL has no answer to the opposing team's DL, running the ball with a below average back makes a team much less likely to win than putting the ball in Brady's hands.
Fact: The Patriots OL was hobbled in each Superbowl loss.
Fact: Every QB has worse stats against good defenses.
Fact: Patriots are 11-6 when Brady throws 50+ times in a game.
Fact: The next best in the league is 4-12.
Fact: BJGE averaged 4.2 ypc on a prolific offense with an excellent OL.
Fact: BJGE averaged 3.7 ypc with the Bengals.
Fact: In both Superbowl losses, when Brady got the ball with 2+ minutes to go, he drove the team to a go-ahead score.
Your attempt at not being rude was unsuccessful.
so why did bjge rush for 8 carries and 50 yards vs balt in the 2011 title game only to be benched so brady could be horrendous, almost like he was being paid off to throw throw game?
can you explain that?
