35 passes vs 23 rushes

Does that seem like the game plan we should run? I'd really like someone to defend this because I can't understand how we pass more than we run when we have not one, but two 1000 yard runners. I do understand we were playing from behind in the second half, but I feel we caved too quickly and put too much on #3.

The running game was tough today...the giants were slamming 9 guys in the box on first and second down, and blizting hte house on third. The giants were going to make the passing game (not just matt moore) beat them. Until someone proves they can consistently stretch the defense..everyone we play this year will stuff 9+ guys in the box. Today, fox had to go away from the run game, we were behind and the run game was stuck in neutral.

Our running game was shut down that is why.

Whoever said Fox got into panic mode is also naive. They put up a very quick 14 points due to the muffed snap and their opening drive. After that we were down two scores and the majority of the 3rd quarter gone, what on Earth do you expect him to do?!

Personally, when they were down 14 and had 1st and goal at the Giant 4 yard line with 8 and a half minutes to go I expected Stewart and a Jumbo Package to run it in and pull within 7.

    • Totally.  I'm less comparing them as players and using him as a reference point.  I legitimately think Bryce is capable of being a better NFL QB than Kyler has been.  Kyler has no clutch gene and doesn't seem to have a grip on the locker room, or much love for the game.  Much different body types/strengths and weaknesses.   Crazy to think-- but Kyler is at year 7 as a 1.01...38-48-1 on his career, 0-1 in the playoffs. He's somehow played well enough to keep it going but crazy to think he's barely even touched the playoffs.  Hasn't done anything that special for the Cards.  That's what you don't want to be stuck in.  Cardinals are in softball purgatory with him.    
    • It's not analysis. There was no attempt to analyze anything or even convey new information at all.
    • As to the topic, I've complained before about "superstar" mentality, i.e. the notion that you can win championships with one superstar player surrounded by a group of mediocre fill ins. It just doesn't work. The Manning-Brady rivalry was something of a showcase for that. The Colts general approach focused everything on Manning. The Patriots? Oh, they also had a superstar quarterback but they built a complete team, especially on the defensive side. This sort of thing is why I've argued many times that "system quarterback" should be to considered a description, not an insult. I know everybody loves the "MVP" athletic types, and they're fun to watch, but that's not necessarily the true path to consistent winning and championship glory.
