While I prefer the offense to run the short and medium passing routes as they will typically have a higher completion rate, the only way to keep the defense honest and not crowd in too close is to run the long routes on a consistent basis.

Aaron Rodgers may not have had the highest % of long completions but he had the most long receptions at 33. Rivers was 2nd at 32.

All in all it shows that GB had nice mix of shorter and longer passes and that they were extremely effective in their approach.
I guess that means that Mike and Aaron knew what they were doing and then did it.

Obviously what they were doing was good enough to win the SB. I just think they threw deep more often than they should. I think it stunted the offense to some degree and killed drives at times.

Perhaps. And perhaps it was working the kinks out of their system.

I don't know if the above stats are for the regular season or the entire year including playoffs.

NFL.com shows that 21 of 132 (15.9%) passes went for 20 yards or more but that doesn't say if that is 20 yards in the air or if YAC is included which I suspect it is. No one else had more than 7 20+ plays. (Cutler)
At 16% it would slightly less than the 18% quoted in the original story above if both are pre YAC. The playoff % of 20+ yard passes would have dropped off noticably if those 21 receptions includes YAC.

Looks like including playoffs. The article shows 607 attempts, NFL.com shows 475 regular season attempts and 132 post-season attempts, which add up to 607.

edit: overall, I thought the stats show we have a pretty productive deep passing game, comparatively, and my main concern would go back to the offensive line and them providing enough time to throw deep. Given the amount we did, it looks like the offensive line was doing a fairly good job of protecting Aaron.

So all the drops don't concern you? Our offense does seem to be quite productive compared to most others.

Nerd-of course the drops concern me (we were talking about them earlier in the thread), but I look at that as an execution thing. As far as play calling went, I thought MM tailored his offense against the opposing teams defensive weaknesses pretty well, and I was overall happy with his selection. I thought he did a pretty good job--especially toward the end of the year--mixing up the offense (runs, short passes, deep passes) to keep the defenses off balance.

As far as those drops go, now, I think the receivers just need to work on their pad level...

dfosterf (4-May) : FYI civilian companies swipe the S2 designation from the military. S2 is the intelligence branch up to brigade level. G2 is division level.

dfosterf (4-May) : Google it. Make sure to tack NFL on it or you will get the military meaning

Zero2Cool (4-May) : S2?

beast (4-May) : Seems like the S2 has a love/hate relationship with professional scouts.

beast (4-May) : In theory, the S2 test how quickly a QBs brain can solve game like issues and how quickly they can do it.

dfosterf (4-May) : Are you gentlemen and at least one lady familiar with the S2 cognition

Zero2Cool (4-May) : Maybe there isn't an issue.

beast (4-May) : NFL really needs to fix their position labeling issue, but I don't think they care

Zero2Cool (1-May) : Packers did not activate the fifth-year options for linebacker Quay Walker, with the goal of signing him to a contract extension.

packerfanoutwest (1-May) : from a head left turn?

packerfanoutwest (1-May) : someone drunk?

Zero2Cool (1-May) : Unlikely.

dfosterf (30-Apr) : How long until Jeff Sperbeck's family sues John Elway ?

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : Packers are exercising the fifth-year option on DT Devonte Wyatt, locking in a guaranteed $12.9M for the 2026 season.

beast (30-Apr) : Sounds like P Luke Elzinga has a rookie try out opportunity from the Titans

dfosterf (30-Apr) : Luke Elzinga Punter Oklahoma stil unsigned. Green Bay has been mentioned as good fit

beast (30-Apr) : The Packers re-signed three exclusive rights free agents WR Melton, P Whelan and RB Wilson.

bboystyle (29-Apr) : Tom*

Martha Careful (28-Apr) : RIP Packer Safety Tim Brown

beast (27-Apr) : Yeah, but also some of the wording suggestions Jax only pranked called the QB, not the others... and if he had an open spreadsheet & 3 calls

beast (27-Apr) : Thank goodness he's not leaving the Turtle in the Red Tide

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Cowboys 1st round pick Tyler Booker will indeed be bringing his pet turtle to Dallas with him

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : that contained all prospects info and contact

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : beast, according the Falcons statement Jax came across it on an ipad. If I had to guess, probably an open spread sheet or something

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Simmons put up an emoji with cheese.

beast (27-Apr) : Not sure anyone is interested in Isaiah Simmons... Collin Oliver might of taken his potential slot

beast (27-Apr) : I'm going with Jax Ulbrich is not telling the whole truth... he accidentally came across it? Why would a defensive coordinator have a QB #?

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : He's not that great, but final piece of the script.\

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : If we add Isaiah Simmons, book your Super Bowl tickets

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Colts 1st round TE Tyler Warren also got prank called, was that Jax Ulbrich as well?

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Jax Ulbrich, Jeff Ulbrich’s son, released an apology for his role in the Shedeur Sanders prank call.

Martha Careful (27-Apr) : apparently he did not participate in practice or play on the east west shrine game nor the NFL combine. The kid was a mediocre spoiled brat

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Yeah that one that was a super wounded duck that Sanders supporters are highlighting to prove a point

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Shough is the guy who missed guys at combine isn't he?
