Because my guess is that they'd have been able to run the ball with Fisher on the field. They clearly couldn't today, with Erving in. Which isn't to say he was solely responsible, but I don't think it's a great sign for the unit. Hopefully it goes better next Sunday after a full week of practice, if Fisher in fact exacerbated his injury today.

I think you are blowing any "struggles" waay out of proportion. They didn't need to score so they took the foot of the gas. The running game lacked, but that's an Oakland unit built to stop the run and they were playing a team several scores up.
