A pass heavy team that is?

Since 2008 when Rodgers throws for under 35 attempts the Packers are 14-4.

All 4 of those losses came from the 08 season.

Since 2009 the packers are 9-0 when this happens.

Since 2008 the packers are 6-13 when we throw for 35+ attempts.

Since 2009 the packers are 5-7 when this happens.

Yes it doesn't necessarily tell us that we can't win when we are pass heavy but there is a pattern that shows we win more when we have some sort of balance. Is it just me or does it seem like the emergence of Finley has affected the chemistry of our offense a little bit? It seems like the offense relies on him too much now. Or maybe we aren't using him right. Seeing that Finley is out for a few weeks this might be good for our offense. We will have to game plan without him and maybe that will get our offense back on track. What Has happened to Rodgers on 3rd down? He was the best Qb in the league last year on third down now he has a 65.6 qb rating, 53.5 completion percentage, 275 yards, 4 touchdowns, 4 interceptions.


As I have said before this team reminds me of my golf game. I am right there but i can never put it all together. One day I can drive every fairway, hit my irons, then 3 putt every green. I just can't put it all together at the same time much like this team. This team is right there they just have to put it all together and I believe they will. The only thing i worry about are these injuries.

our we what we think are

I like the content, but I know we're going to have some creative lacking folks post many comments about the title, derailing the thread. 😞


I think we need to run the ball more. I'm still not sold one way or the other on Brandon Jackson and I'd like to see him get 15 carries at least for a couple games strung together. Let's find out what we have in him without assuming?

---

I'll agree to that. Was surprising to see even with his long run and a few decent runs he still only got a handful of carries yesterday. Seems like yesterday would have been the perfect day to see what we can do on a full work load.

---

Running with the lead would have been good idea I think, instead of the passing game with our poor ass RT being a turnstile.

---

Well, I'll disagree with that based on how I bitch and moan about how the game plan turns to running the ball with no aggressiveness to the offense once we get the lead. But Jackson had broken a 71 yarder and from what i saw in highlights a couple 10 yarders. Seems like he was finding the seams and making plays yesterday and we should have continued handing him the ball to see if he could do it consistently throughout a game. It would have been a much better option than pounding the rock during games in which he can't get anywhere. In hindsight I can say this, but at the same time I realize I probably would have bitched about the playcalling had they done that and lost.

---

I believe the Packers have only defeated the Lions and 49ers in games Aaron Rodgers has had 300-plus yards passing. I could be wrong and feel free to correct me if I am.

This is a disturbing stat nonetheless. It tells me that this team can only win consistently a certain way, rather than win in different phases of the game.

---

Well, the original post in this thread is quite obvious. If we have to chuck it out all game long we are probably trailing. Whereas if we have the lead, we run the ball more. At least that's how it was before this year.

Bingo!

A little fantasy secret - sometimes you can get a lot of fantasy points by a decent QB on a bad team because he'll be forced to throw a lot of passes in order to catch up. Plus, the winning team may be playing prevent D so that QB will get lots of yards, which = lots of fantasy points.

By the way, I like this:
Has nothing to do with this thread but I'll put it anyways.

Yeah i didn't really think about the title lol
