The obvious ONLY answer is injury to Aaron Rodgers. Beyond that, it's only minor inconveniences or maybe a large collection of those minor inconveniences. Bad luck, of course, can always cost you, but it would take a whole lot to "derail" things.
One thing that would hurt would be if the new play caller and the game planners got too hung up on the crap of running first to set up the pass - don't do that!

Granted our offense struggled when Aaron went down in '13, but that was due to not having a viable backup. Actually, I thought Tolzien looked pretty good when throwing deep to intermediate, it's just that Mike was (as always) coaching scared, so he was in the unusual position of forcing passes short. (I always use the example of the one that was called out by JPP in the defensive huddle, before he pick 6'd it.)
If it happened this season, it just MIGHT allow Clements to actually call a game based upon genuinely sound fundamentals (if he knows any) rather than just regurgitating whatever plays Aaron instructs him to call before the game.
This of course assumes that Tolzien is ready, and I think he is.
