I'm going into this weekend remembering that our recent Super Bowl run started in this very same predicament, winning every game on the road as what started as a very average team. Our defense was labeled as opportunistic at best, but gave up way too many big plays to be considered a threat- although really turned it up a notch in the playoffs.
Our offense at the time was admittedly significantly better, although I would argue our offensive line at the time was just as bad if not worse. And our running game going into the playoffs was non existent and suddenly Starks became an icon out of nowhere.
So I argue that we are looking at a similar team this year, only with a regressed offense. And I really think the key here is going to be Cobb. If Cobb can create separation and give him that security blanket that Rodgers is missing in Nelson, I think this team is capable of making a push.
Rodgers is not comfortable because NO ONE is getting separation. If even one of our wideouts could present a consistent match up problem, then I think Rodgers will stop looking so frantic- and let's face it in recent games the O line has given him more than enough time to throw the ball. Just my opinion, and I think Cobb is going to be the x factor on offense.
