At best its a 50/50 proposition that a good running team wins the Superbowl. I did not include the old stats because with the Nfl passing rules emphasis its a different game now. What is consistently true is you need a good defense to win a Superbowl especially us (note we were 1,2 and 6 in our Superbowl seasons) .The Giants were ranked low in both their wins but i don't need to tell patsfans how good their defenses actually were.Hence, i don't understand why Bill and Josh are now convinced that being a running team will win us a Superbowl.Let's not mess with something that is not broke. Great defenses win you championships not balanced offenses.
