[QUOTE="Sunshinepacker, post: 973039, member: 9033"] So, I’ve mentioned this in passing in other threads, and if some feel this should be merged elsewhere then so be it, but I’m curious what most posters would prefer. First option, the 2-4 seed in the playoffs on the back of a running back centric offense that won’t be very helpful on the playoffs or, second, a wild card but an offense that will be more effective in the playoffs? So, if the packers just de-emphasized the passing game during the regular season and turned into the Derrick Henry lead Titans they would probably win more regular season games. However, without an all-time great defense, how many running back centric Super Bowl winning teams have their been lately? Not many (i can’t actually think of any). The second option would involve the packers running their semi-normal offense (which was one of the best on the league with Adams) and dealing with short-term pain while they find out what they can and cannot do in the passing game. In this scenario they’ll lose more regular season games but, hopefully, get the rookies up to speed on what they need to do to get the offense going. In a run-centric offense you’re potentially looking at throwing 20-25 passes a game and not letting the rookies have the kind of pressure or learning curve they’ll face in the playoffs; the team will have fewer chances to see have guys run routes in real games and see what types of routes beat suit the receivers. The team knows what Lazard and Cobb can do. Doubbs/Watson/Watkins are still a mystery to the team and the team needs to find out their limits before the playoffs. I know some will argue otherwise, but this team doesn’t have the defense to reliably hold an elite offense to a low enough point total to rely primarily on the run. Finding out what the new receivers can do and tailoring the offense to those skills is, in my opinion, worth a couple extra losses during the regular season. Giving the rookies reps against opposing defenses trying to jam them is important in their development. Obviously I’d prefer to win while developing these guys but if the team has to lose a few while the receivers find their way and Rodgers figure out how to play with games with them, then I’ll take the wildcard over being eliminated by the Eagles or the Bucs in the second round. Btw, i typed this on my phone and while i checked for typos, I’m sure i missed some so don’t judge the diction too harshly. [/QUOTE]
