I think there's a lot of "chicken vs. egg" stuff going on around here (or maybe not enough?). There's a relationship between our success on passing downs and our ability to get Lynch more touches. In order to set up more runs for Lynch, we need to extend more series, which means getting more 1st downs, which means succeeding on passing downs. It's the same story every time our passing game accomplishes absolutely nothing (which it largely didn't for most of this game). People think we're not calling enough runs, but they are ignoring the fundamental problem in the game -- that our passing game is accomplishing absolutely nothing. Convert at least a league average rate on 3rd-and-long and Lynch gets more touches. Looking at his touches in a vacuum doesn't tell you enough. Never does.
IMO, run vs. pass calls were not necessarily the issue. The issue is that the passing game needs to become more consistent at keeping the team on the field in must-pass situations.
