[QUOTE="Forget Favre, post: 471628, member: 2006"] I see a lot of frustration on this board with the Packers running game. I don't blame you. I would like to see massive yardage more often on more carries as well. But if you look at what's posted below that should clear up some things why Mike does what he does with the run. May not be the best thing, but it seems to be working for the strategy they have.
