You'd think an offensive genius could game plan around that
He sorta did by dialing up the passing plays.
I'd imagine the thought process was the Ravens' D was going to focus on stuffing the run so pass the ball to back them off than once you have them on their heels a bit hit them with the run and once that works you follow it up with play action passes.
The fanbase can speak out of its mouth at times. We want to say Purdy is elite and bring up all these crazy numbers and proclaim we've got the most talented group of skill players in the league but at the same time we armchair it when it doesn't work out and say we should've ran the ball more.
That's not to defend Shanahan and say his playcalling is perfect but if we're this talented on offense we shouldn't really have a problem on how much Shanahan deploys the pass or run.
