Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 684213">Yeah, frankly I did not understand that guy's point other than "scoring is good, not scoring is bad".It's uncommon for a team to be able to just line up and play their game, merely challenging the opponent to counter strength.  And nobody can do it on both sides of the ball; there simply are not enough draft picks and cap space to build that kind of roster.Everybody plays to match-ups at the individual player level and scheme level.  And if they're going to give you something all day you take it all day.  Now, what one opponent chooses to give you another may not.  Being willing and able to grind it out with short passing beyond a series here or there is an uncommon sight in Green Bay.  It's an option, not embraced in the past.  They've been stuck in a run-and-short-pass-to-set-up-the-deep-ball mindset, and it worked for a lot of years, and then it didn't.  This enforced-by-necessity ball control passing game for it's own sake is an expansion of the repertoire.  Unless they backslide, there's an opportunity to embrace multiple approaches to fit the opponent, an offense better equipped for all seasons.I'm still liking what I see in this team.  The offensive is evolving by necessity and the defense has that "whole is greater than the sum of the parts" feel to it, especially with having to go so deep into the cornerback bench.</blockquote>
