Look around. Alot of teams pass to set up the run. Alot of teams pass to loosen up the defense and then come back with the run later. We can't run so why try to play ball control and run the clock out instead of trying to maybe pass more to get more points? That running out the clock crap has lost us games. It almost lost the Ariz game and it lost the Giants game. It lost games in 05 and so on.

I was watching the Clev. game this past weekend and they made an consistent effort to get Braylon Edwards the ball downfield. Not throwing stupid little pussy ass screen passes that don't work. They threw it to him 15-30 yards downfield. Why aren't we doing this with Santana? He's our big play guy. Right? Is Clev any better than we are at the skill positions? They have a better line right now but we can still throw down field with our line. We just don't try to.

I'm not sure why you keep changing the issue. You said that this isn't the 1980s anymore and teams don't run to set up the pass. You were wrong, so now you are changing the question to "Can you pass to set up the run?" Yes they can, but that wasn't the issue you first posed.

BTW, implying that we are idiots who can't see out of the box and that you are laughing out loud at us isn't going to get you very far.
