Lets go ahead and bring the freakin' math.

In 2012 - we recorded 527 rushes (and 32 of those were sacks - so, in all likelihood a called pass), and attempted 356 passes. So, assuming the other QB rushes were just that, bootlegs, sneaks, etc., there were 495 runs "called" and 388 passes "called" from the sidelines, for 883 offensive snaps, so the offense called was a very balanced 56/44.

EVEN if we count every sack as a rush (and that's crazy to hang on the coaching staff as being too conservative, if anything, it's bad timing or too aggressive, but most likely it is an execution issue - either we were bad or they were good) - then AND ONLY then, do we get to 60/40.
