WE DON'T. WE ARE NOT STUPID. WE REALIZE THAT IS GONE AND NOT COMING BACK.
The vast majority of fans would probably be satisfied with the offense as it produced last year.

I agree with this, too.
Most of the criticisms aren't of the "do the exact opposite" variety, i.e., "let's throw the ball 50 times a game."
Most critics, IMO, understand and accept Herm's strategy (at least in the Indy game). They just want to see some tactical changes. Go deep occasionally to loosen up the D. Call plays that force the D to defend the whole field. Throw on first down. Throw past the down markers. We have a QB now that, I think, can do that stuff better than the old one.
It's about how and when you pass, not how much. But when every pass is a virtual extension of the running game, you're not gonna accomplish much.
