    Nothing like rigging the result by the wording of the poll hahahaha.

    Let other teams run first. The Packers have possibly the greatest throwing QB in the history of the NFL. I'm so thankful that McCarthy has chosen to pass first. That should NOT change now just because we have Lacy and a couple of other excellent RBs. We still should use the running game as a change of pace and to run clock if we have a big lead late.
    What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?

        Hey, you guys want a null hypothesis to reject, start your own poll. Damn frequentists.

        Its changing. Now you just need to predict the change right. And don't get me started on the statistical significance of 57.3% versus 56.8% of pass plays. It was less in 2008, that is all that is relevant. If it was good enough for Cliff Christl and Cleft Crusty, then its good enough for Applesauce and PackerRats.

          Exactly. I would title the Packer 2013 highlight film, Running to 500.

            We were #3 in total offense because of our running game last season. Not saying we should become a running team but I'm tired of seeing 30 yard passes on 3rd and 1.

              I would be stunned to see that stop, but would love the see the single safety that teams might have to play if they believe the Packers will run it.

                Lacy against a 6-man box.

                Drooling.

                If Lacy was so effective with Flynn/Tolzien, just think what he's free to do with ARod at the helm

                  If they're 30 yard completions on 3rd and 1, I'll probably never tire of it. Takes the wind out of a defense.

                    I think it's the incompletions Brandon's worried about. It is a higher risk play than handing off to Lacey.

                    But if Rodgers sees a one on one matchup, I can understand.

                            Exactly why you must be able to effectively run the ball. Rodgers is a deep ball assassin (which i think is also the title of a porn). You have a legit running game that teams feel the need to respect and look out Miss Daisy.

                              Shouldn't, can't, be the only way to defeat it. 2 deep should be eminently easy to pass on even if it hard to pass DEEP on. It would be a major shortcoming of this offense if it doesn't get resolved except for Lacy.

                              I wouldn't complain all that much about Lacy solving it, but it would still be a poor indicator. Lacy or no, 49ers still played 2 deep and man under to frustrate Rodgers successfully most of that playoff game.

                                I went with passing more, but that's only because we have the best QB in the league at the moment. If they're giving you 5 yards a pop, you run it down their throat until they try and stop you. It's all situational. Very difficult to lobby for one way or the other because it's never black and white. I hate the 3 & 1 pass, but if they cheat up on it, it would be stupid not to throw it over their heads.
