You are correct in pointing out that game as a 350+ yard performance from Rodgers that I missed. So, make it 3-1 in the playoffs, 7-7 in regular season, 1-4 in the last 5 regular season games where Rodgers went 350+. Again, there is only one game in the Rodgers era with 350+ from the QB and 100+ from the running backs. Mistakes are the risk one takes in making time to do some work "by hand".
If there's another I missed, feel free to point it out:

In the game you cited, Starks, Jackson and Kuhn combined for 84 yards on 28 carries for a 3.0 average. You can throw in another 13 yards on two Rodgers runs if you like. In looking for a prolific and
balanced attack which was the original point, this would not be it, and there are in fact not many instances in the Rodgers era.
If the score is what you're looking at, it should be noted that 7 of the Packer points in that game were on a 70 yard T-Will pick 6. Additionally, the Packers won the turnover battle 4-1 and took over once on a failed 4th. down conversion which is equivalent to a turnover.
In addition to the 4 (or 5 if one prefers) turnovers, the defense held to Atlanta 194 yards in the game, 3-10 on 3rd. down, 1-2 on 4th. down, forced 3 punts. Big help from the defense after the rocky start. That is not all that surprising since that was a very good defense, easily the best Capers has fielded in Green Bay. That pass D posted a 67.2 passer rating against that season compared to 98.2 this year, and was second in the league in sacks with 47, right up there with the Legion of Boom as the best of the last decade.
I don't think the offense will get that kind of help this week.
Rodgers was brilliant over about two quarters in the middle of the game, converting everything he needed to, in orchestrating the string of 4 long drives and then a 5th.. It may well have been
his best game given the circumstances. I do not equate that to the
offense's best game.
