You're right. Tampa is an excellent example. Drew and our offense looked horrible during that game. We beat a bad team in a hard fought division game. The question is, do you think you can have long-term success playing that way against an actual playoff time. IMHO, I don't think so.

Weather stays the same in the dome. We're going for the #1 seed.

2012 Super Bowl XLVI Patriots vs Giants
Giants win the Super Bowl ave rushing per game 89.2 (32nd in the League)

The Giants play in Met Life Stadium... Think they get a little bad weather up there?

Patriots play in Gillette Stadium.... Any bad weather up there?

The Patriots had the 20th ranked rushing game.

I'll bet you this isn't in Oakland.

So.... No a running game is not a requirement for getting to and winning a SB with bad weather.

I know so.

First, The giants didn't need a great running game because the giants defensive line destroyed everyone they played. While I like our dline I don't think they are as as good yet as the giant dline that terrorized the 18-0 patriots in the superbowl

Second, the patriots and giants are both cold weather teams so they are not going to have a big drop off in the snow regardless because they play in it every year. They're used to it. Plus once again, when the patriots beat the raiders they still had an outstanding defense and were not built at that time to throw the ball a lot like we do (this was before their prolific passing game developed). Not saying our defense won't become outstanding but they are not to that level yet.

I'm not saying we need to have a top 5 running game but we need to be able to have a little more balance to the offense or we need a super bowl caliber defense. One or the other.
