[QUOTE="Greg C., post: 173309, member: 195"] So by going 4-0 with under 60 yards rushing per game, the Packers have already blown this precedent out of the water. They are in new territory. Bad teams rely on the passing game because they are always playing from behind. The lack of runs is more of an effect than a cause of a team being bad. The Packers, on the other hand, have been passing aggressively to win games, rather than passing desperately to try catching up. It would be good for things to balance out, though. Hopefully they will. There are still 12 games to play. But here's a thought: If the Packers lose next Sunday, the loss will be blamed on their lack of a running game (assuming they have another low yardage day on the ground), and yet, they will have passed their way to a 4-1 record, which is not too shabby. At some point it has to be admitted that this strategy is legitimate, and yes, a short passing game can be quite effective in bad weather later in the season, especially with Favre throwing the ball.
