Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 880363">I've mentioned this on numerous occasions:  the offense and defense were both outstanding  in the red zone.  Getting 7 instead of 3 in the short field and allowing 3 instead of 7 at the opposite end was a key factor in that 13-3 record; winning those close games was not done with mirrors.  Plus in the red zone and plus in the turnover differential, while not giving up an excess of long plays takes you a long way toward winning.I read a study recently showing a poor history of good red zone teams repeating that performance the following year.  Perhaps that's a function of teams with success going back to the same well while opponents have developed answers from tape study in the off season.  Dunno.  Anyway, it will be worth watching early on if the Packers are repeating those red zone performances that have historically been hard to repeat.</blockquote>
