If you watched the game you know that the run blocking still looks like shit, just like it did in KC. We won the damn game and there are people whining because we didn't pass it 60 times, and lose, like the Saints. The running game is what makes a lot of our passes work. It doesn't matter who is in the backfield if there is nowhere to go with the football.

I can understand being curious as to why our run blocking sucks, I had some serious questions about it after last week and still have them after this week, but questioning running the football at all? Come on man...

exactly true. that first TD pass that went to Gonzo was set up entirely by the previous few plays that were runs with Turner. Those runs weren't successful as runs, BUT they sure pulled the D up to the line and left Gonzo wide open in the end zone
