I see your reading comprehension skills are once again woefully terrible...
Quote for me where I said the above. You can't? Well that's because I didn't say that. What I DID say was that it would have been beneficial to the best offense of the year to be multi-dimensional and lean on the run a little bit more than we did, like we did in the 45-3 game. How you read that and got "Our 45 point game was due to running the ball down their throat and not trying to pass?", I have no clue.
There were also other drives where we ran and passed balanced and DID score, so I'm not sure where you're trying to go with that. In the playoffs, against a good defense, you NEVER go one dimensional. The only time you do that is if your RB goes out of the game with a game-ending injury and you have the WR's to do that. In this case, neither happened to the Pats and it cost them.
Brady is at his best when the running game is going. With that in mind, why would anybody in their right mind want the team to go one dimensional with Brady having the kind of game he was having (a bad one by his standards) and the receivers unable to get separation from the Jets defense. Once again, BJGE was averaging almost 5 YPC. Why wouldn't you want to see a more balanced offense when the Jets are in nickel and daring you to run the ball more? It's completely mind boggling.
Are you even half way serious? Our 45 point game was due to running the ball down their throat and not trying to pass?

Remember, in our first two drives, we ran and passed balanced. We didn't score.

I'll just drop it. Absurd. We were balanced both two starting drives. First game, we scored ten points, then scored a touchdown and went up 17-0.
Last week, we threw an INT, then had a dropped TD pass and were soon behind 7-3, which is just like being ahead 17-0?
Rex Ryan...OK we're up 7-3, don't worry about those receivers, that Brady guy can't beat us, just don't let BJGE beat us!
