[QUOTE="digsthepack, post: 24687, member: 209"] It is true that Favre never called his own plays, but he was allowed more freedom to audible and had a much more aggresive package than the check downs he is now limited to. Bottom line, in my view, is that Sherman/Rossley (the 2 headed beast) have a limited capacity to think ahead of the play at hand. Rarely do I see this team set a defense up for a big play; aggressively exploit a defense's weakness ("we just do what we do, regardless of what is presented").......I mean, several years ago against the Eagles, they were down to their 3rd string corner, and he was never seriously challenged by the Packers' playcalling. And don't even get started on game/clock management. I think the players have witnessed enough of these gaffes over the years that some of them are tuning Sherman/Rossley out. Like I said in a previous thread, if I am a Packer player and two weeks in a row when trailing in a game (one by 2 scores with less than 5 minutes left) the decision is made not to run the 2 minute offense.... which is something Favre was awesome at prior to Sherman's arrival....I would conclude either ineptitude on the coaching staff, or that they gave up on their players and/or the game. Either way, they would no longer hold my respect and confidence. [/QUOTE]
