Having one of the best defenses in the NFL helps.
One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

That's exactly the point. It would be nice to have a TEAM that isn't entirely dependent on 1 player having to perform at an all-world level just to be competitive. One thing the playoffs tell me year after year is that you still need a good to great D to win the Superb Owl. Teams with video game offenses and pathetic D's just don't win it.
Well, perhaps now with a new DC and a GM who isn't allergic to FA maybe we can finally field a decent enough defense so AR doesn't have to play out of his freaking mind for us to win.

I think tex really overplays this point in blaming the Packers O line as one of the worst, but we do need to remember that Rodgers makes them look better than they are.

Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
It looked like the offense for Foles last night was designed to get the ball out of his hands, mostly RPOs and runs. They mixed in a handful of dropbacks but those were a lot more of an adventure.

Yep. I am going to be forever curious whether the Rodgers offense is because of Rodgers wish to get big plays has gone well beyond touchdown then check down or if McCarthy thinks being as hard to bring down (or quick to release) as Farve or in tune with the Matrix of pass protection (Rodgers) is a normal trait for a QB.
If Peyton Manning had been his QB, I think there would have been a homicide. First Manning would have died on the field, then Archie would have run M3 over with a truck.

Hundley's sack percentage was much more a function of Hundley's inability to move to the 2nd 3rd an 4th reads and get the ball out of his hands than it was OL difficulties. Maybe I'm misremembering, but it seemed that his sacks went down the last 4 games after MM changed the offense to quick pass, no think. We were not more successful, but Hundley wasn't bailing to his right as much...until the end of the game and we were playing from behind.
