Oh, please. Don't let reality get in the way of your fantasies, zombie.

Mike McCarthy has been calling the games VERY nicely this year, with fairly balanced attacks. And no, he hasn't abandoned the run until we have a sizable lead. Here's the splits from ESPN for Pass Attempts and Run Attempts, based on being ahead 15-21 pts, ahead 1-7 pts, behind 1-7 pts, and behind 15-21 pts:

Lead/behind	PA	RA	Pass/Run ratio
Ahead 15-21	58	55	51/49
Ahead 1-7	166	117	58/42
Behind 1-7	62	41	60/40
Behind 15-21	22	9	70/30

I'd like to see our complete defense on the field against a good team before I start guaranteeing Super Bowl wins. But if the league allows Dbacks to hold our receivers down like the Giants got to, we're vulnerable.

Also I said we'd win the SB with a limited running game. I think I said 3 to 1 runs and it turned out to be even less runs than I predicted. Plus, let's keep in mind that I'm the guy with the $450 bottle of Scotch. :-"

And yes, 19-0 would be nice. I think 🇲🇲 will make that decision on January 1st depending on how we're doing with injuries. If we're pretty healthy, 🇲🇲 will shoot for the 16th regular season win. If not, we're resting our starters in the 2nd half.

Winning a SB > shooting for 19-0.

I'm really starting to taste the 19-0, just because all my friends keep taking all their pithy little pock shots at the Packers. Back to back Super Bowls with an undefeated season in between = domination and I don't even care that we our D gives it up like 2 dollar hooker on New Year's Eve.
