Chad Pennington is the #2 rated passer in the NFL..

While our running game has a mediocre 4.2 yds/carry average..

And for the upcoming game, the NY Jets have one of the best run defenses in the league..

I've never seen a situation where a team had the #1 or #2 rated passer in the NFL, and the fans were saying that they should throw the ball LESS.
I mean, I think Ronnie Brown is one of the most talented RBs in the league. But our current oline run blocking isn't that great, which limits the running game.
Pre-emptive response to those who say "When we run the ball more than ___ times/game, we usually win": The reason for that correlation is because if a team is winning, they tend to run the ball more, in order to run out the clock. And when a team is losing, they tend to throw the ball more, in order to catch up. Thus, the run-win correlation, and pass-loss correlation.
