[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 802048"] I've cited on several occasions the second half of the Dallas game in 2016 and the Bears game that followed as examples of the Packers being willing and able to run a ball control passing offense. Consider the Dallas game starting with the last possession of the first half: [LIST] [*]Rodgers: 23 of 26, 218 yards [*]Longest completion 25 yards to Nelson, otherwise nothing longer than 15 yards [*]Montogomery featured with 8 catches on 10 targets for 60 yards [*]5 of 7 on 3rd. down which would have been 6 of 7 had Montogomery not fumbled on the Packers last offensive play [*]It was a case of taking what was given against 2 high safeties, soft zones and slowish LBs [*]The comeback was derailed by an interception at the Dallas 48 yard line, a Rodgers fumble at the Dallas 1 yard line, and the Montgomery fumble (which may have been too late to matter) in the second half. [*]This shooting one's self in the foot is reminiscent of this season's serial miscues. [/LIST] Or consider the Bears game that foll0wed: [LIST] [*]Rodgers 39 of 56, 326 yards, 3 TDs, no ints. [*]Longest completion 25 yards to Cobb [*]Montogomery featured again, 10 catches on 13 targets, 66 yards [*]1 turnover vs. the Bears 2 turnovers [*]First downs, time of possession, plays run, 3rd. and 4th. down coversions, 6 red zone opportunities vs. the Bears 0: Taken together the contrasts are quite striking running a ball control offense [*][URL]http://www.espn.com/nfl/matchup?gameId=400874429[/URL] [/LIST] So the challenge, if anyone chooses to accept it, is this: If McCarthy and Rodgers have been willing and able to run a ball control passing game with lots of timing routes over 6+ quarters with success in the past, why not since? And why not this season in particular, changing things up in the middle of games when the offense goes flat? Some possible clues might be 1) what the defenses are giving, 2) in some cases having to dig out of a hole, 3) lack of confidence in chemistry with receivers making the pick in the middle of the field a higher than normal risk and/or 4) sutbborness.
