We haven't had the "7 starters in 5 years" problems alot of other teams do. Two MVPs, b2b. Besides Favre/Rodgers and the Montana/Young pairing, can you think of many others?

I also remember clutch TD passes against San Diego, Denver, and Kansas City. That's just from one season.

Running game = clock exhaustion.

No pass rush = comeback possibilities.

You can dice it up all you want.. but the Packers have holes that need to be addressed from last season.

I feel better about the pass rush.. I think we will see a much better rotation if we can remain healthy.

On the running side.. IMO, it was not that we couldn't be effective running the ball. It is simply that we lacked commitment to it.

And that is not just about the number of attempts.. it is about the will to run the ball and establish the threat of it.

They can point all they want at the close games being the cause.. I think it is more the product of the root causes.

Let's not over analyze the Packers. They can score quickly when needed.

We have not had any commitment to the run game to finish teams off late. While this may be considered and old, outdated idea, it works. A run for no gain keeps the clock moving. A pass that is dropped stops the clock and gives the other team a chance. Man, I desperately want to see the return of a good running game in GB.

Our defense suffered from our quick scores. Seems they were always brought back onto the field and got worn out. Add zero pass rush to the mix and the reason for our poor record in this category is not surprising.

Hopefully, the added youth and better talent on DL, LB and in our secondary will help turn this around. I do think having Saturday at C will also help our no huddle offense. Benson having been added to our team could push this over the top for a complete turnaround. Let's hope!

That fourth quarter was a blast regardless of which play stands out more.

I didn't mean to make this post all about Brett all of a sudden, and as many games as he's lost us at the last minute, he's also given us a lot of wins... and a lot of memories... like these...
(let's ignore the Vikings one)

Rodgers has yet to do that, but I'm not saying he's not outstanding. The games he played in Atlanta and the Super Bowl during the 2010 post-season were works of art.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is
beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah
dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced
