When you get down to the 1 yd line, it's awful tough to throw for a TD (not impossible, just tougher because of all of the defenders crammed into such a small area). We need to be able to trust our RBs to make that yard, instead of having Aaron Rodgers carrying the running game load, too (which led to a fumble).

Brett Favre did it all the time and had a very high success rate. Let's not forget that before Ahman Green, we didn't have a pound it in from the 1-yard line guy. You have to work with what you have.
That's why I was asking in the other thread "what happened to Kuhn?" He wasn't used in those situations. If not, then we better be able to complete a 1-yard pass for a TD.
How come Favre was so good at it and we can't do it today? I think Favre from '94-97 was the best QB there ever was, but in the 2000s, Aaron is a better QB except for '09 and '07. Aaron should be able to complete a 1-yard TD pass most of the time, especially with defenders knowing full well that Aaron is the 2nd best scrambling QB in the NFL and can at any moment run it in.
Now, is it because Finley is injured? Is that why we're so reluctant to throw from the 1-yard line?
I'm asking because I don't know. And I didn't hear Mike McCarthy answer my question about Kuhn either.
To make it clear, I'm talking Atlanta because we will be facing them in the CG in Atlanta. I can guarantee we'll be 3 to 1 pass/run in that game (not including running out the clock in the 4th Q if we have a lead).
