Interesting stat

Not necessarily true. Do you remember the falcon game in atlanta this year? We were gashing their defense with runs, yet continued to throw the ball more, especially in 2nd and 3rd and short situations in the second half, despite only being down 1 score. If Payton had been here, I think the Saints would have stuck with the run more, especially in the 2nd half with our running game clicking and the atlanta defense on their heels. Oh yeah, Drew threw 5 picks that game.

I never said you'll win every game but over the long haul (season) I beleive that what I said is true. You don't start calling run plays just to become balanced you must always call plays needed to win the game. You also must execute the play called and beat the defense, this did not happen in that game.

Could different plays have won the game or would have better execution been better?
