I know you do not think in relative terms at all. You seem to think the Packers should be playing All Madden while the rest of the NFL is on Novice or Rookie. That's simply unrealistic. If the Packers are are doing better than a good portion of the league, they must be doing something right. Does this mean they can't improve? Absolutely not and I think that is where you are sit firmly. Regardless of how good they are, you demand they do better. I find no qualms with that.
I would say you see Aaron Rodgers, Eddie Lacy, Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb and a pretty damn good OL and think "you can't punch it in for six at least 75% of the time?". I'm with you on that, however, I also know that when the field is shorter, you have less options. When you're in the red zone you have 22 men packed into just 30 yards of space at most. That limits your options dramatically.
One problem I have with your "style" is if the Packers punched it in each time, you'd be crowing "it is just exhibition, doesn't matter". Truth. 😁 I've said before and will again. I want to see improvement from game to game in exhibition. If the Packers falter again on 8 attempts inside the 5 yard line with the starting offense. It will be curious to ponder... are they just experimenting? are they holding back? are they trying to set something up for regular season?
As you can see, many variables here.
