day against their opponent usually and I mean often, win the game. That does not say they won't win when they have more passing yards but sometimes great passing yards can be indicative of being in a "catch up" mode. If you can control the game and strong running attack usually does that, than you probably win if the passing stats aren't outlandishly high for one team over the other.
Personally I like passing the ball but I love play action that has been effectively set up with a good running game. When this happens there is a lot of YAC and a good passer becomes a great passer and an average passer becomes a good passer because play action passes are wide open and it requires less pin point accuracy because the coverage is difficult.
But yes, just win baby and I hate Al Davis.
