[QUOTE="Sunshinepacker, post: 979157, member: 9033"] Based on draft capital the defense should be, but it's not. On offense they are more talented everywhere but receiver, where there is a GIGANTIC difference in talent. That might indicate to some (including me) just how much the void at the receiver position is hurting the Packers' offense, while for others, it just means the Packers should run a 1960s offense and they'll be just fine. Insisting on running the ball 50+ times a game completely ignores just how difficult that is to do AND field a good offense. Without huge chunk plays, the offense is forced into 13+ play scoring drives and that gives a lot of chances for a false start or oline holding and, when you can't throw it, that torpedoes the drive. Additionally, as I, and others, have pointed out multiple times, when an offense has zero threat of passing the ball more than 5 yards downfield, the running game becomes REALLY, REALLY inefficient. Against the Jets the Packers running backs averaged something like 1.5 yards on 1st down and 2 yards on second down. That same pattern emerges against most other teams as well. This offense has terrific personnel at QB, oline, and RB, but it has awful personnel at WR. MLF, Gute, Rodgers, most other NFL teams have flat out stated or shown how important it is to have a reliable receiver who can either stretch the field or provide yards-after-the-catch. Doubs seems like he can provide some of the YAC once he improves his strength and Watson seems like he'll be able to provide both but neither can reliably do so at this point and that's a hugely limiting factor for the offense right now. Just look at how much better the offense was against the Cowboys with Watson's addition and performance. [/QUOTE]
