Passing the ball near the goalline is much harder than it is on a wide field(there is a reason the Vikings are ranked near the top in goalline defense) 4. Running the ball is much safer it leads to less TOs are less 2nd and long situations(Passing has high risk/reward)

I don't think 1 is that important. Look at a team like the Colts. Having great passing plus bad rushing isn't really worse than having OK passing plus OK rushing.
And 2 is true for everybody, but also not essential. Look around NFL right now, teams don't have to be that way to be successful. Colts is an extreme example here again.
I don't really know your point about 3 actually.
4 probably isn't true for the Vikings! Heh.
