Rob, I'm not completely disagreeing with the point you're trying to make, but I don't believe the Pats' failed to go 19-0 because of a lack of running in the playoffs. In fact, Maroney killed the Jags AND played well against SD in the playoffs that year. They just unfortunately ran into a hot, aggressive NY team that always believed they could win, got hot at the right time, and had a D-Line strong enough to overpower our O-Line the whole game. Even after all that, the Pats were still up 14-10 and then the miracle catch happened.
I am not saying that year. That may be the year that Brady broke the record, but they were still balanced on offense.
I am talking more about years like 2009 where the Ravens shutdown Brady in the playoffs and 2010 where the Pats offense sputtered against the Jets. They may not have been record breaking years, but the entire offense was on Brady and the passing game those years.
