Actually, the advanced analytics (not wins and losses) show that running the ball has little impact on your offensive output. Take for example, the titans henry ran for 180 something yards this weekend, the titans scored 14 points on offense.
Its amazing yall dont realize you run more when you are leading, therefore you have a better record when you run more. If we knew we would legit have a better chance of winning by running the ball 25 times, the first 25 plays of the game would be handoffs

Every talking head and their mothers are saying we should have run the ball more. You're just arguing for the sake of arguing

Was coming in here to say the same thing. The "x-x record when running y times" is a very flawed stat.

Warren Sharp, who runs a predictive analytics site and is a consultant for a few NFL teams, has commented before that in general a lot teams over commit to the run and do not throw the ball enough. I'm not saying this can be applied to the Saints, because with all analytic arguments, it is situational based. My point is just that if you want to refer to the analytics community on running the ball, the new argument is that passing is more effective in general.
