I still get slightly sick when I think about that game. That was worse than the 4th-and-26 game, I think.
Not that it was an all-time great offense, but I enjoyed the '82 Packers' offense, with Dickey and Lofton and Ivery. They could score.

I don't hold Grudges. It's counterproductive.
the dickey, lofton, jefferson, coffman, o was great to watch. the '89 majik, sharpe, o was fun too.
it's funny how we associate great o with passing. the ground and pound o's of the '60s don't even come to mind.

Lotta Ahman games looked like that. The modern version of ground and pound anyway.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
Just looked at the box score 35 runs to 23 passes.
408 total yards - 235 rushing - 173 passing
But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

You're both wrong. It was Bigby's game of a lifetime that set the offense up repeatedly in the first half. The final stats were tilted toward the running game because the Packers were up the second half and were able to keep it on the ground, running it down the Seahawks thoats. In the first half they were much more balanced. But not to the extent that you could say they used the pass to set up the run. Bigby was the straw that stirred the drink that evening.
I don't see how what you write disagrees with my point. As I said the pass set up the run. Not that it was a huge passing game. I also pointed out that I was sure the game plan was run heavy. And that's how it went after they got back in the game. But when the pack got down early, passing got them back in the game and loosened everything up.
Who needs announcers and color commentators when you have Tony Siragusa. That aside, I am a bit mystified about how the new millennial Packer ground game made its way into a thread about GOAT offense. There is no association between the two, and if there ever was Shermy killed it in January 2004.
The 70's proved that under then current rules, you could throttle all but the best of run games. If you wanted a best offense with a running game, it had to be in college if not the CFL.
So I think its an open question whether more 60s running teams could be considered for the best offense. Even the Packers running attack was being held in check later in their decade, both by innovation (Flex Defense, preponderance of 4-3 fronts) and by age (Hornung and Taylor).
