I just checked the Box score. If you count scrambles and sacks as pass attempts vs handoffs and exclude the final drive where they ran clock before the FG, Getsy called 28 passes and 27 runs. 13 plays were Fields scrambles or sacks that count as runs. One of those scrambles may have been a called QB run so you can swap that over but it's not the attempts that's creating this inequality.
If they were behind and on the wrong side of the field, that last drive would have been all passes instead of all runs.
You also don't force your QB to lose a game for you on a bad day when he can at least walk away with a win and not carry the weight of the world on his shoulders for another week.
I see what you're saying. I still think the playcalling has failed to build rhythm or any pace for Fields regardless of split. I think he is an afterthought to the running game, he's hidden, and I think you can be more clever in getting the passing game involved early and building confidence by stringing some easy completions together. Fields of course has a role in this, but that's how I've felt thus far about Getsy's playcalling
