We lose as soon as someone shuts down the throw. I haven't seen a greatly developed run game and that's scary.
That's because it hasn't been attempted.
I generally agree with you on All Things Packers, Trom, but I gotta say I'm worried as well.
I think that the O-line is coming along just fine, and nobody is as good as pass-pro as the Packers are and as atrocious at run blocking as they have seemed. Looking at last weeks game, going against a top-3 runstopping defense, there were some holes there. IMO, the RBs are just not taking those cutback lanes. If he stays healthy, I think that Mo is the best shot at someone seeing those lanes and gashing through them.
And as for the need to run in cold, end of season games, The Packers only have 3 outdoor games after October. (not counting the reg. season finale w/ the Lions, cause it should be a meaningless game by then.) So I don't see it as quite as vital in the reg. season.
I guess the playoffs would be a different story, though..... :shrug:
