Lots of excuses for why we lost the game, but the fact is, we lost the game. Rams fans still have lots of excuses for why they lost in 2001 to what they consider to have been a vastly inferior team. But they lost, and so did we. No excuses.
Pointing out the reasons for a loss in the context of this discussion is not making excuses. It's analyzing the arguments based upon what actually happened on the field. People blaming the running game for that loss should know better, especially given the high posting quality of those people who have been making that argument on this thread. And, if you can't blame the running game, trying to make an argument for running games by using that Super Bowl inherently involves misleading data.
It sure as hell wasn't the running game that beat that same Giants team in week 17, for example, and the Super Bowl was played in 'perfect' conditions without rain, snow, high winds or any of the other factors that people often point to as problems for passing games.
