I'm not suggesting it should be 50/50. I'm not even suggesting it should be 40/60 run vs. pass.
They need to take what defenses give them and win games. That's exactly what is happening right now. Not sure what the issue really is. Especially when they have so many injuries.

This.
Call plays within the context of the game. You can’t just force the pass game because it’s our philosophy.
Our running game is massively improved over last season; there’s a reason the team focused on this. Teams are selling out to stop the passing game, and leaving light boxes, and we are rightly exploiting them. I don’t give a shit if we passed the ball all over the yard last year or against the Ravens, that doesn’t mean it’s ALWAYS what we should do. Yes, we should want our passing game to be the ultimate strength of our team, but it doesn’t have to be the reason we win every game.
