Let's get some maulers on the line and be a balanced offense and make good calls when needed. Situational offense is what is important here and we need to be able to pass and run with a creative coach that knows when to do it.

Why not just line up in punt formation every play? Because it's dumb and won't work.

When a team is down 14+ points it's actually better for them not to run the ball most of the time. Passing doesn't waste as much time which leaves you more time to get back in the game and you can put up points rather quickly, assuming plays are executed. Generally speaking though you need some balance to have success and win games. Also, the QB and receivers would be tired to death if a pass play was called every time. It's actually remarkable what the Seahawks have been able to do with such crappy running game the past few years.

I have to disagree that the QB and receivers would be tired to death if a pass play was called every time. RW works best in the 2min drill, and WR's can get rest easily. I believe the only position that struggles when it's All passing plays, is the DL as they have to keep rushing for the QB, and they don't have a lot of time subbing them out.

How do you know it's dumb and won't work? Have any OC tried it?
Example 1: When Jags was up 24-10 4th Quarter, all RW did was pass the ball and we never ran in the 4th quarter. We almost had a chance to win the game also. ( That game where DB didn't attempt to get 1st down marker).
Example 2: Seahawks v Panthers 31-0 lead 3rd Quarter. 1st drive 3rd quarter. (4/4 Passing TD) 2nd drive: 7 plays. No Running game. 2 RW scrambles TD in air. Basically only 1 time they rushed the ball in the 2nd half against the Panthers. and they came up just short 24-31.
