re: I think a portion of our fanbase needs a lesson in offensive balance

i don't think it's necessarily that we "ideally" want to run all the time and only pass as needed. i think we run so much in the first quarter because our pass offense SUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKS.

add to that the fact our defense also kinda sucks (I'm being generous here), and we run lot early to try to keep the other team's offense off the field.

from there, we're screwed and playing catch-up
