[QUOTE="net, post: 103039, member: 200"] There is no secret to success in the National Football League. The good teams have a quarterback that can make plays and execute the offense. They have a running game, or at least a semblance of a running game, to keep opposing defenses honest. They have a defense that can neutralize, if not dominate, the opposition. The great teams have all of that in addition to top-notch special teams play. Now, the Packers have one of the above: The quarterback. And guess who is taking a majority of the heat for the Packers' 0-2 start? That's right. It's the quarterback. ----------------------- Not from me. If the Packers had a semblence of a defense they would have at least been in the Bear game, and probably won the Saints game. But he's hit on the magic formula. I don't know how many of you saw the Jags-Steelers game Sunday night. To the younger crowd, it was a throwback to my youth...the 1960's...when an NFL game was fought that way. Two rock-solid defenses which are unbendable. The modern fan thinks football is throw the ball 50 times and try to outscore the opponent. Here's a good analogy: who won the Super Bowl last year? Bill Cowher or Tony Dungy? One had just enough offense, while the other had an incredible offense. But in the end, it was the team with the best defense, a solid running game and just enough of a passer to keep the opponent honest. And as Havel points out, special teams are a plus. This is the model...I think...McCarthy would like to implement here. I'm not so sure about the zone-blocking thing, but to run the ball is very important. But the reason the Packers have lost the first two games is putrid defense and a lack of running the ball against the Saints. [/QUOTE]
