What it takes to be a playoff team

The Redskins didn't score more than 30 points once this year. Not a single time. It's important to have balance. All the teams you listed with high powered throwing attacks, don't have anything remotely resembling a running game. However, the run teams you listed are all able to pass the ball VERY effectively. Having a run game helps, but having a TRUE #1 WR helps a ton too. Keeps them from stacking the box every play.

Like it or not, this makes the Giants radically different with and without Plaxico Burress.
