Teams that are losing are often behind in their games and tend to pass more to get down the field quicker. Now, I don’t have the numbers, but this would seem to be partially true in theory. What would be interesting is to see the team’s numbers when the game is tied or they’re within 7 points of their opponent. Those are games when it's close and pass/run balance should probably be with 60/40 either direction. I would think that successful teams use the run to make their passing better (and not vice versa). Do you think any team that sees the Eagles pass the ball FIFTEEN straight times like they did yesterday actually bites on a fucking play action at any point after that? Seriously. Teams don’t even flinch when they play action anymore. Why waste the half second it takes to go through the motions?
