[QUOTE="Voyageur, post: 1004850, member: 17953"] Let's see if rephrasing it will make sense for you. The Packers offense is a work in progress. They won't be able to control the ball as much as they should against good defenses. Because they can't control the ball, the opponent will get more opportunities, and more time to score. Based on the performance of our defense over the last few years, that could mean a lot of points scored against us. Even if they've improved, because of what will be a weakness in our offense, the defense will have to perform better just to stay even with what they were over the last few years. Those teams gave up about 30 or more points in nearly every game we lost (26 points on up). The point is, to be competitive we have to outscore the opposition in games. If you beat a weak team 35-10, and lose to two average teams 31-27, and 31-28, you may have averaged about 34 points a game, and given up about 26 a game. That amounts to scoring 90 points in 3 games for an average of 30 PPG, and the opponent has scored 72, for an average of 24 points a game. You got beat because you couldn't put 30 points or more on the board. Had you made one more winning drive to score, there's a good chance you would have taken 3 to 7 points off the board for the opposition and you could win those two games. Look at the last 4 years, and you can see that when we lose, we give up a lot of points. That is not consistency. I'm not going to go any further in this discussion. It just isn't worth the effort to be honest. We will just have to agree. If your problem is semantics, please, have all the fun you want with it. I just don't give a rat's *** to be honest. [/QUOTE]
