Leading up to it we had several successful seasons but mostly Defenses letting us down. I recall in the 2014 lead up saying that based on some rough calculations, we needed a top 12 scoring Defense to turn the tide. We started slow and made the debatable CM3 change mid season around the Bye week. Regardless of any argument statistical “rushing” argument against that move, it was brilliant by Dom.When you have an explosive and balanced passing and rushing Offense, it’s really hard for an opponent to keep up. We know the general idea is to control the clock and run the ball to keep the possession count down. Maybe hope to get a turnover. THAT is what caused the lopsided rushing yards increase by that Defense. but it didn’work and it’s a failed argument. GB scored 33pts per game down the stretch. Our opponent scored 21pts per game. Doesn’t sound like a winning strategy to me to run the Ball towards CM3 no matter how it’s spun. 7-1 is the result and that’s not something to argue against. GB went from a #21 scoring Defense  and finished at #13 scoring. The Scoring argument will always trump a yards  argument. We finished at #13 scoring Defense and we lost in OT in playoffs. Our D was just a smidge too loose.</blockquote>
