It's very obvious our run game is in total chaos at this point. With that in mind, let's play a little guessing game. How many times will #04 have to go to the air against Philly? I'm guessing 38

It depends on the offensive line. If they can open up holes then the running game can be relied on to move the ball, but if they fail to block as a unit then Favre is going to be put in a position to win the football game with his arm, meaning he will have to throw the ball 40 times a game, and that is not the way this team is supposed to function on offense.
Unless the defense is consistently bringing 8 guys into the box to stop the run, and Favre has a field day with the passing game, the Packers are in real trouble if they have to consistently battle 3rd and 8 or 3rd and 10.

:P Good luck with that...Originally posted by Deputy NutzNo shit chet, but I was trying to give an optimistic reason why the Packers would throw the ball 35+ times a game.Originally posted by retailguythere is no need to bring 8 guys in the box.
I'll go with 34 attempts.

Who are you?Originally posted by son of a vicI think the defense will have a direct effect on the carries. Long drives are impossible without a good running attack. so short fields will impact the amount of carries. I'm saying the defense will be stellar, and the offense will benefit. 30 carries, 35 throws.

I think Bubba is still the best all around tight end on the roster. I have a magical feeling that Bubba will turn it around this year and show us things in his arsenal that we have never seen.... GLUG GLUG GLUGOriginally posted by BEARMAN36 - 41, you heard it first here kiddies, ...

Favre averaged 38 passes per game last year. I'll say 42, as the Packers will try to use the short passing game in place of a solid running game to try to slow down the blitzing by Philly.I can't run no more
With that lawless crowd
While the killers in high places
Say their prayers out loud
But they've summoned, they've summoned up
A thundercloud
They're going to hear from me - Leonard Cohen

I think the Nutroll is right. Bubba has lost weight. He is a guy who had a horrendous season last year. He has some pride and doesn't want last year to be his legacy. He is a wounded beast that will bounce back.
