Still, if the Packers implement more no-huddle, they will have a better chance to put points on the board. They seem to work better with some type of tempo and rhythm and have an offensive line that is fit enough to keep up with a fast pace. Furthermore, Favre seems to enjoy operating in a “two-minute” type situation, so why not give him more chances? The Packers’ offense certainly has nothing to lose.</p></blockquote><p></p>
