The everything Gruden thread

Still cringe thinking about Gruden calling a pass on that 4th and short, fucking facepalm.

Actually in Cinci his Bengals were near the top of the league each year in both rushes and rushing yards.

And, as CRedskinsRule so ably pointed out, we've put effort into running the ball this year. The perception that Gruden is overly pass-happy is just plain wrong, and the numbers show it.

If the pass on 4th and 1 had worked, and it could have, everyone would be hailing him as a genius today. It wasn't a bad play call, it was bad execution.
