[QUOTE="Uncle Rico, post: 684776, member: 10779"] This will be my last comment on this subject since it's pretty clear we're just going around in circles. As much as I would enjoy watching it, the Packers haven't shown thus far this season that they can impose their will on anybody. Even if we were 100% healthy, I'm not sure we have the play makers on offense to line up and have success doing whatever we want. It would be foolish to not control the clock and move the chains when the defense is allowing us to throw for 5 - 10 yds a shot. And as for your Saints example. "they actually force the defense to adjust". Yes they do, but when the defense adjusts so does the offense. The defense takes one thing away, it opens something else up. That's how the game is played. The Saints do not attack strengths in the defense just to make a point. The reason we can't see eye to eye on this is because we have different views on what makes an offense successful. You want 6+ yds per attempt. I want clock control, first downs, and to win the TOP battle. Realistically, if the Packers do either of those things, they will probably be in a pretty good position to win the ball game. I get that the offense we ran on Thursday wasn't what you wanted to see. But you can't say it was unsuccessful. Hell, if I had my way, we'd line up in the I and run for 300+ a game. We just aren't equipped to do that. So until that day comes, I'm perfectly fine with "rolling over and taking what the defense allows". [/QUOTE]
