[QUOTE="doughsellz, post: 257263, member: 1158"] GB is proving to be a big play offense. They're exciting to watch sometimes & are consistently getting explosive plays from the passing game. That's their problem. Let me explain. Teams who play ball control offense win consistently. They control the clock & give their opponents minimal opportunities to score. They wear opposing defenses down with long, sustained drives. Big play offenses can run up high scoring games & can even get themselves quickly back into games where they've gotten behind early. But as GB is showing when the game is on the line, more often than not the big play suddenly becomes too big to attain. Instead of being practiced at moving the chains, GB is digging deep into the well too often & coming up short. Couple that with containment issues on defense & ST & you have the '09 4-4 Packers. WCO is designed to be ball control offense by way of passing instead of grind-it-out rushing. GB has definitely forgotten this all important fact of their heritage. I haven't observed anything close to WCO in MM's offense in '09. If they're attempting to move away from it to something else that's fine, if it's by design. But to me it seems as though Rodgers looks for the home run too often. That's why he holds onto the ball waiting for that opportunity to put quick points on the board. If MM doesn't get this under control Rodgers will rely too much on his big play ability instead of letting MM's offense do it's thing. And that will amount to what we have so far in '09, mediocrity. It reminds me of the '83 team. Lofton, Jefferson, Coffman all had that big play ability & Lynn ****ey was strong-armed enough to get it to them. But up against the Cowboys in the playoffs it fell short. [/QUOTE]
