Message: <blockquote data-quote="toolkien" data-source="post: 450193" data-attributes="member: 4637">Who wouldn't want to see every position be as good as it can be? But everything comes at a cost. You want more potency here or there, that means less potency somewhere else. Every team gets the same colleges, free agents, and a $120,000,000 to spend. Every team has a philosophy. If anyone has ever played roulette you've got a whole board to lay your chips out on. You can go heavier on red or heavier on black, or odd or even. The rest is luck (assuming it's not rigged). If you lay evenly on each red/black/odd/even you might as well go watch the grass grow. The Packers have decided to skew offense, and within that philosophy they've skewed pass. Any place you see as thin, they saw as thin 6 months to a year before you did and it was planned that way. They just play the luck game that they won't get hit where they are thin while where they were intentionally thick they can get a compounded return.  The Packers have had the best team in the league the last three years combined. Their philosophy has worked, and they've been undone only by turning the ball over in the 2009 and 2011 playoffs. If that's not good enough, then maybe some would prefer a team loaded at running back and defense that survives by controlling the clock and limiting the other team to 12 pts per game. Of course when that D decides to give up 28 or 31 pts in a playoff game, then the complaints will be why the Packers can't have a 49ers of the 80's offense. And anyone who thinks that any team should be able to crack off a potent AND balanced team hasn't been paying attention the last several years. It's been rare the last 10-12 years, and getting rarer. Potent and skewed is the order of the day for league leading regular season teams. You establish a philosophy and you lay out your chips and you let the wheel spin. If you fail to follow your plan in the playoffs, regardless of how you construct it, don't expect to win it all. In the last 12 years, 9 Super Bowls have been won by teams who won the playoff turnover margin. The other 3 were won by the team #2 in turnover margin. And those championships were won by teams skewed to their offense, or skewed to their defense, and a few by balanced and mediocre teams. But they followed their plan and they didn't turn the ball over. But those who lost simply can't retool their philosophy every year because it failed, especially if that philosophy works and comes undone by uncharacteristic turnovers.</blockquote>
