A lot of the running yards was after contact. Ingram consistantly does not get yards after contact so the numbers would have been even worse if he was there.
The running game looked better in the beginning of the game, but the Bears adjusted and shut it down. The short passes compensated for the lack of running game.
They just have to take what they can get every game.

We also played a defense missing it's run stopper and we didn't get to 4 yds per carry. Same thing this week against pats, they're missing their run stopper, we need to ave 4 yds a pop.

Every team we have played or will play has a piece missing, it's the nature of the sport.

Football is doing the best with what you have available against the best they have available. While our opponents will have missing pieces, so do we.... Jahari hasn't been 100% all season., we have huge pieces missing on our defense.

Sometimes a backup provides more value than a starter just because there is no tape on tendencies, which is why I don't put too much thought into it.

In a nut shell sometimes starters going down makes a team better.... Kaepernick last season comes to mind. A pass rusher on defense goes down and his BU is a run stuffer would be another example.
