How about you changing or missing the narrative.

I responded.  Maybe you missed it or ignored it.  I don't know.

I never said that you do not need to be capable of passing the ball,  but go ahead and continue to disagree and say I have my head in the sand.

To get to the Super Bowl it take a top running game and top defense.  When you get to the Super Bowl,  you do what it takes to win the game... Last year we showed that we were capable of making the plays needed in the passing game to have a chance....

And you're still missing it. You are the one changing the narrative from the last two superbowls to what it takes to get to the superbowl. 

Whatever.  I have no need to be right or wrong here.  I was trying to point out that the eagles don't win that championship without a dynamic passing game and you wanted to talk about their season. The point being made to you was about the one game. Not the season. You either missed that or ignored it to suit your argument. 

I'd love to see the Jags get a scheme in place that features a balanced attack that leans on the run quite a bit. But not too much. 
I also know that run game needs to be more diverse with it's formations than what we've been doing and it absolutely must be complimented with a pass game that won't allow defenses to sell out stopping the run and just wait for mistakes from the QB. 

Ignoring the league's blatant encouragement of passing offense is almost like tying one hand behind your back. The rule changes and officiating trends should be taken advantage of. You don't have to throw it 40 times a game to make meaningful use of the trend. 

The Jags could help themselves tremendously by literally just passing the ball about 7 to 8% more than they did in 2017.
If they are able to upgrade the OC and QB, I think it won't be a point of contention at all. It will just happen.
