So what's MM's problem?

Can I call you blind now? Read my posts...and not literally like you do your bible.

I'm an agnostic...are you on drugs?

I'm an agnostic...are you on drugs?

What's with the drug thing? I shot Stubby and you gloated....searching for posts to prey on. I retaliated!

I then read your one good post and said "ok, bobble".

MOVE ON!

Fair enough. I had my fun today. On to whooping the bears and uniting packer nation for the superbowl. Like you said, I never really get mad either, I just have some fun. I can own my mistakes and I won't pretend I don't make any. Moving on.

Ok! Glad I saved my own fumble too. Geez, I wish that online matters wouldn't get me so fired up but when it's Packers...it's BIG [to me].

Have a good day and thumbs for being an agnostic - I consider myself as one too.

In 2007 the Packers had Driver and Jennings coming into his 2nd year at WR, and that looked like it. Favre sat out all of the offseason and they were just barely starting to click come the start of the regular season. MM never had a chance to get cocky. His back was against the wall from day one. Once Grant started running the ball, the Packers offense was elite.

In 2008, it was Rodgers first year. They were solid but defense and ST's didn't hold it together and at a few key times, MM took the ball out of AR's hands, maybe not trusting his first year QB.

2009, for the first 8 games, MM tried a vertical offense where AR stood patiently in the pocket. By the time they were 8 games in they had already lost 4 games. Their back was against the wall. They came back with shorter passes and runs and the offense was great. They made the playoffs and looked good doing it.

2010, for the first 6 games, the Packers seemed to be opening up a new, innovative playbook. 6 games in, the Packers were 3-3. Their backs were beginning to be against the wall. They went back to the shorter passes and went on a little run. Again, they seemed to settle into a lul where the offense looked a little confused at times. Maybe they started to overcomplicate it again. Then the Giant game came and AR just lit them up. The Bear game was that steady, trusty short pass dominated game. The Eagles was the short pass dominated but now Starks was a factor. Then the Falcon game and it was more long, short pass dominated drives with runs mixed in and beast 3rd down play by Rodgers. ..


I think there's a pattern. The Packers offense lights it up when their backs are against the wall. And back to TH's original post in this thread, it does seem MM might get a little cute when things are going well. He loves creating plays. He talks about how much he values creativity. I think that might be one of the things he has to keep in check. Keep it simple. Keep it simple. Keep it simple. There's no worry of MM oversimplifying it. He's not that type of guy, so keep it simple might be a good moto for him. It scares me if we make it to the SB too. If he has 2 weeks to dream up new plays, we might be looking at a sputtering offense.

We still go vertical a ton. Way more than most teams. Maybe even more than any other team. Rodgers is doing a better job of getting the ball to his checkdowns though.
