Yup - waaay too much 11 personnel (far more than normal), not enough commitment to the run game, panicked when they got down 17-3. You can still run the ball down 14 unless it's under 10 minutes in the 4Q. Dillon was getting yardage; shoulda kept feeding the man. Would have helped the TOP and gave the D a breather.
They will need to prove they can run roughshod on teams who play 2 safeties back; until they do it will be tough sledding for the offense. Their best games on O when they were balanced.
Also -- very few jet motions, etc. It looked like the late McCarthy era actually, and that was a stale offense years ago.
The prevailing theory behind the 11 personnel was MLF wanted to attack a depleted NO secondary (Lattimore was hurt, the other starter out, Roby suspended, etc.) but they played soft coverage and made Rodgers either throw short or hold the ball. We've seen that movie many times before in bad GB losses.
