Semantics. Whatever. Point is, nearly half of the rushing attempts were in the first half. You made it sound as if they didn't run at all in the first half:

" You don't need a power running game to run the ball when you have a huge lead built by passing. Don't be fooled by looking at stats. The passing game won the SB for the Ravens."

You are ignoring the contributions of a power running game to the Ravens' success in passing during the SB. Admit it. That lead was not built by passing alone.

The Packers offense is NOT just fine if they continue to fail to run the ball more... you admit as much in your own contradiction.

Funny example you point to, in GB's 13 carries against SF in our LOSS.

"But the design is just fine."

I'm not proposing we don't throw the football. That's insane. What I am hoping that they change is a shift in emphasis to more power running to open up our passing game more, and to give our D a blow. Really simple.

Sorry. My bad. I didn't realize when you said "a complete shift to a run oriented power game on offense", you really meant just a shift in emphasis.

I'm just hoping Ted can land all the players we will need to make the proper improvements in all of these areas. On the O side, I think we all agree the OL play was suspect, and that we have question marks at LT and C. We also lack that big power back that would help make all of this go.

BTW, I guess I was over emphasizing it a bit, since McCarthy is so emphatically against the need to run... as much as saying so in the press. Maybe he will change his tune a bit after two years of beatings suffered in the playoffs.

On D, we need big DL and S help. Maybe LB too, as Perry is a bit of a question mark, as is Bishop in their return from injury.

That is a lot of improvement to hope for with one draft.

Really, though, I'm a tad concerned about all these teams loading up for bear, with us re-signing Brad Jones...

Ted plays a tough FA game, and I question his being so rigid with it. But, I do trust the guy.

I'm sure he would love to sign some big-time free agents, but if it's not in the numbers, it's just not in the numbers; and he would certainly be one to know. He visits/talks/offers several players contracts, but he has a budget to work under and he stands by it; hence the word budget. His top priority right now is to lock up the most important players on the Packers roster, and perhaps he will have more stability financially moving forward from there.

There are still some free agents available that I think could help the team, even if for only a season or two. Am I the only one that wouldn't mind seeing someone like James Harrison or a pass-rushing specialist brought in under a reasonable contract?

beast (6h) : Though I stop following pro bowl years ago

beast (6h) : I thought the pro game was before the Super Bowl?

packerfanoutwest (7h) : ok now for the Pro Bowl Game in Hawaii

TheKanataThrilla (8h) : If I was Philly I would try to end it instead of punting it

Mucky Tundra (8h) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!

TheKanataThrilla (8h) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted

Mucky Tundra (9h) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance

Mucky Tundra (9h) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (9h) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB

Mucky Tundra (9h) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?

Zero2Cool (9h) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting

TheKanataThrilla (9h) : Replays always never seem to show the holdings

TheKanataThrilla (9h) : Great throw by Hurts

Mucky Tundra (9h) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)

Mucky Tundra (9h) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez

Mucky Tundra (9h) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away

Mucky Tundra (9h) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems

beast (9h) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason

beast (9h) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick

packerfanoutwest (9h) : wtf Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (9h) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good

Mucky Tundra (9h) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them

TheKanataThrilla (9h) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.

Mucky Tundra (9h) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now

Mucky Tundra (9h) : oh fuck me i messed that up

Zero2Cool (9h) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall

Zero2Cool (9h) : Carter was 9th overall

Zero2Cool (9h) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back

Zero2Cool (9h) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?

Mucky Tundra (10h) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous

Mucky Tundra (10h) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps

TheKanataThrilla (10h) : And we could only wish to have this type of D

TheKanataThrilla (10h) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D

packerfanoutwest (10h) : another crap halftime show

TheKanataThrilla (10h) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half

Mucky Tundra (10h) : And with a Pass Rush that might as well be on a milk cartoon and no Jaire

Martha Careful (10h) : I cant help but feel good about how well the Packers D played in Philly during the playoffs

Mucky Tundra (10h) : this game is over

Mucky Tundra (10h) : This might be the kill shot here

Mucky Tundra (10h) : oh that's such a bad penalty for KC after getting the 3rd down stop

TheKanataThrilla (10h) : Philly DL has come to play

TheKanataThrilla (10h) : Ceoper DeJean with the INT scored...bad memories of draft night

Mucky Tundra (10h) : ok scratch that

Mucky Tundra (10h) : Game feels like last years Super Bowl: 49ers started off in control, moved the ball well but didn't have much of a lead to show for it

TheKanataThrilla (10h) : KC jumped and they call it on Eagles. WTF refs

TheKanataThrilla (11h) : If he was offside why did you let him pop the QB?

TheKanataThrilla (11h) : I like that Eagles are controlling time of possession so far.

Mucky Tundra (11h) : If the Eagles are going to win, this is how they do it: jump all over the Chiefs and don't let it turn into a close one

TheKanataThrilla (11h) : Bad throw created that penalty.

TheKanataThrilla (11h) : Amazed Philly got that hit to the helmet call.
