Running game? We don't need no stinkin running game.

If they don't get a run game, they still can get in the playoffs but will likely lose.

If they get a run game, they are a legit SB contender and they'll have the Favre hype to help with the officials. The NFL will want Favre to win one.

If they are going to be a top tier team, they need a running back that the defense respects, plus they need to get the running backs more involved in the passing game. It's possible to do that over the course of the regular season. Unfortunately, they are sort-of in preseason stage where they don't even know yet which of 4 backs can be a running threat. You can't develop Wynn by giving him 2 or 3 carries a game. And of course Morency isn't close to being 100%.

They could make it to the Super Bowl if they get a running back up to speed. No progress on that this week.

God, I'm not thinking SB yet, but now that you mention it. . . .

You are right. If we don't get something going, we are a terminally flawed team in the post season. We'll see how it goes. That line seems capable of finding issues, correcting them and taking it into the next game. They've been on a steady climb from week one, to week two, to this week. Hopefully that trend continues somewhat uninteruped. We could be close to "good enough" by week 10.

I'm not thinking SB yet, but the possibility of a home playoff game has crossed my mind

If they had a running back, they'd be a complete team. They'd be a credible threat to make it to the SUper Bowl. I only see one team that the Packers couldn't beat. The Bears. Only kidding, only kidding. The Pats, obviously.

I thought the running backs looked a little better today, but they need to put their heads down upon contact and get the extra couple yards, everytime that they were hit the seemed to be stopped dead in their tracks.
