in running YPC at 4.7. Good thing we are a pass first Offense. Discuss

---

Brandon Jackson had a 70 yard rush last week; Rodgers has taken off for +10 a few times.

We actually have a decent amount of 10-yard runs.

What's funny is one week we run the ball too much, the next we pass too much.

My take: IT'S THE FIFTH WEEK. SETTLE.

---

It's not about running or passing to much it's about doing it at the right time like when you have 7 straight incompletions and are averaging 5ypc on the ground you may want to try running the ball some.

---

I think that's because Aaron Rodgers is boosting that carry stat.

---

Jackson had a 71 yard rush -- I know this is redundant, but the point is obvious: our 5 YPC is a little skewed.

As far as the 7 straight incompletions: it's a hindsight 20/20 issue. Yes, I think if you missed on 7 plays in a row you'd wish there was a time machine you could use to go back and throw a run in there. Unfortunately, there was no available Delorean/plutonium.

Green Bay failed on 3rd downs, had key drops, and a number of injuries. Add it all up and a close road loss makes sense.

---

It is all about when they are called. 6 runs in the 1st 1/2. Three on the first real drive, two at the goal line, then 1 more Rodgers audibled to. Compared to 26 pass attempts

No matter how you slice it, that is piss pour playcalling.

Add in empty set on a 3rd an 1

---

Take away the long run and all of Aaron's runs and they still had 4.6 yards per carry so the claim about being skewed is completely false.

My point about the incompletions has nothing to do with hind sight. Once you get a bunch of incompletions you don't need a time machine to tell you that maybe you should try handing off to your (so far) effective running backs.

---

I get the "skew" problem, but how many other teams need to do the same thing. I mean, don't you have to take away the dog-killer's stats from the eagles? I just went with the raw numbers....they are what they are. My point is that we have a decent running game and I would like more balance. Run when its working, pass when its working. Pray when neither is working.

---

Oh knock it off. An empty set is by design a quick passing formation. Green Bay has struggled mightily to convert the short yardage situations -- going back three or four years now.

I understand you're upset about the loss, but lets be fair about this: McCarthy is damned if he does, damned if he doesn't.

---

Why would you even consider Bjack's stats to be "skewed" by that big run? Think no other top running teams break off long runs? Please.
