there have been other games when we weren't able to run the ball well. we should be able to throw the ball 45 times for 350/400 yards in order to compete. THAT is what we're missing. and a lot of it is coaching.
contrary to what many people believe, balance is not needed on gameday. balance is needed in terms of the entire season.

I disagree, we did need balance yesterday.
You can't just continue running the ball regardless of the situations. What we needed yesterday were some key plays from the passing game. We needed to make some plays to get them out of that all blitz mode, which we couldn't do.
If we could have made 4-5 key plays through the air it could have been a different game.
Balance in this case doesn't mean we needed a 50/50 split of runs to passes, balance just means we needed more production from the passing game when called upon.
