That's too much of a blanket statement, though. I know what you are saying, but knowing a team is going to pass and knowing who's going to be where on the field and exactly when are two COMPLETELY different scenarios.

I've always been partial to the Packers "much vaunted history"

1958 was a very good year...

November 2, 1958, the Green Bay Packers suffered a 56-0 loss to the Baltimore Colts,

Another example; 11 guys on offense execute their play flawlessly. But this time, the other 11 guys on defense ALSO execute their play flawlessly. Hmmm. That COULD mean a net gain of 60 yards and a TD, or 0 yards.

Anyway, I digress.

Probably the only computer game other than Zork that I had success on.

Rodgers could have the D in the huddle with him and it wouldn't have helped them anyway. The plays were options. Unless they know what Rodgers is deciding at the line of scrimmage pre snap, they don't know where the ball is going, if it is in the air or on the ground, what routes the receivers are going to run or which of the 5 eligible players are going to get it. Even the routes are options, depending on where the DBs line up, where the safeties are and who has a step on whom.

I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.

Lots of variables.
