Look at the Cowboy Redskins game earlier this season, if the Cowboys had continued running the ball they would have easily beat us. Instead they became impatient and not to mention they love Romo, Witten and Dez.
The cowboys really blew and pulled a Vinny Cerratoo by drafting Dez and not taking a strong OL which was a much stronger need.

Well, I don't think you're wrong, but there are also teams that lose games because they stick with the running game as a safety blanket when they aren't very good at it. I generally think teams should just stick with what is working, and not try to randomize so much. If you can throw 55 times a game and score a bunch of points, do that.
Let's not get this confused: run/pass balance is split among whether teams lead or trail mostly. If you want to find teams that run the ball a lot, you just need to look at teams that lead by ten or more points a lot.
If you want to find teams that are actually good at running the ball, well, that's the Eagles, Chargers, and 49ers. Those teams can really run it...and they'll still lose any game where they don't get big plays in the passing game.
