Seems we won the first 3 SBs with a power running game based offense. We couldn't run against the Giants the first time and lost, didn't run too well in round 2, lost again.
The fact is the most successful teams year in year out for decades play tough D and successfully run the ball with balance on offense. The game evolves, but that is a fact that doesn't change.

Btw, my original post was just a gripe and is personal preference about what I like, not any type of analysis.
