Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 685278">Good summary.  The Packers have been slow to adjust up until the last 2 games which were a marked departure.It's somewhat understandable.  When you've had years of success as a downfield passing offense, which is what it has been on its face and by Rodgers assertion, the inclination might be to play strength against strength.  But the receiving crew has not quite been up to snuff to play that strength against strength game.  It has taken too long to adjust to the realities on the ground.  I think McCarthy and Rodgers share blame for that.If they can continue to control the ball and the clock with the short passing game, a refresh of some of those West Coast roots (and routes), defenses will have to adjust which would open up the downfield game again, but probably not to former glory for the foreseeable future with the injuries to Nelson, Adams and Cook.Defenses tend to be a little slow to adjust; they too like to stick with what's worked in the past.  Let's hope those adjustments lag by a few weeks while injuries (or the replacements) come around.The positive takeaway is the Packers have discovered an alternate method of winning.  One would hope it affords more adaptability in the future from this experience.</blockquote>
