[QUOTE="jaybadger82, post: 451059, member: 6211"] Sure. But this isn't a conversation about UW or college football. I mentioned the Badgers as an example of a possession style football team in my previous post. Substitute the 2011 San Francisco 49ers instead. Not sure where I ever suggested that the Packers [I]couldn't [/I]or [I]haven't[/I] had a long drive... but there's nothing wrong with acknowledging the objective reality that Green Bay isn't built to play possession offense on a consistent basis. FWIW, I think the stats bear me out: the Packers finished eleventh in the league in average time of possession last year despite possessing one of the league's most efficient offenses and finishing second in the NFL in turnovers (i.e., plenty of extra possessions). This is the portrait of an offense that scores fast and scores repeatedly. It's a bit flip to say that a team built this way can shift gears on a whim and begin grinding out eight minute drives. I don't see that happening with a short passing game... As stated above, I have no complaints about the Packer offense. The only reason I jumped in this thread was to respond to someone that asked why we would want to slow down our offense by pointing out that there are strategically cogent reasons for slowing down an offense.
