Okay, let me go slower. See football is a team sport. It's not just a QB and his receivers on the field. The o line needs to pass protect in order to have any chance at success in the passing game. You also need a running game to take pressure off the passing game. The Bears have had each of these. The Packers have been very inconsistent in both of these. Many of us did think that the oline would be better this year because we didn't see our LT (who played in the Probowl last year) dropping off the charts.
So now tell me how I didn't address your main topics?
You said Ortons stats aren't as good because he doesn't have WRs. I said Rodgers didn't have an o line. One could make the argument that when a QB has time even terrible WR's will be able to get open. I don't care how good your WR's are, if the QB doesn't have time it's easy to shut down a passing game. I'm sorry I don't have a whiteboard to draw this out for you.
You then said that you knew the Pack would be worse with out Favre and that they will be worse again with out Jennings, as if this was some kind of astute observation. Kind of like saying, "Gee, Adrian Peterson is hard to replace". Kind of obvious, isn't it? Well yes. You were right. And most here agreed. I don't know of anyone who predicted us to go 13-3 this year. I think the majority said 9-7 or 10-6. I thought 11-5 might be attainable. Yes, I was way off but having seen every game, I know the difference has been OLine play and lately defensive play, not so much QB play.
