I agree. Look at the Eagles last night. They had over 400 yards of offense, and over 300 of that was passing. They crushed the time of possession. However their defense couldn't stop anything in the 2nd half. That is why they lost.
And with regard to offense, who really cares if you are running the ball more or passing the ball more, as long as you are scoring touchdowns. That is the name of the game. And if you can do that while keeping your opponent (and your defense) off the field, even better.
