2003 Green Bay Packers
Ahman Green rushed for a club record 1883 yards and had over 2200 total yards from scrimmage.
The Packers had one of the top offensive lines in the NFL: Clifton, Wahle, Flanagan, Rivera, Tauscher
Bert threw for 3361 yards--his lowest output since 1993. This was without question a run-first offense.
Bert threw 21 interceptions that season.
In the season opener the Packers lost at home to--incidentally--the Vikings. Bert threw 4 picks that day.
The Packers lost at Detroit on Thanksgiving. Bert threw 3 picks that day.
The previous game the Packers beat the 49'ers. Ahman Green rushed for 154 yards on 27 carries. Despite just 15 pass attempts Bert threw 3 picks that day.
They lost in the divisional round of the playoffs when Bert threw an OT interception at Philly, setting up the winning FG for the Eagles. Ahman Green had 25 carries for 156 yards that day. Bert's OT pass was one of the most dreadful, ill-advised passes I'd ever seen.

Bert is perfectly capable of throwing interceptions even in a run-first offense. I almost expect a couple picks Monday night. Thing is, he can do that and still beat you. It's how he has always played. The key will be to secure the gifts he offers and to turn them into points. That has never changed.
