[QUOTE="Sky King, post: 857950, member: 7171"] You have a point. But at least it does seem as though both may be collaborating in order to find mutually agreeable common ground. Perhaps, that is why defining a so-called identity for this offense has been a challenge all season long for both the pundits and fans. The team, too. The ride has been uneven and the execution has been spotty. The last game may have been a microcosm of that season-long philosophical give-and-take. A series that marches down the field for a 95 yard TD drive was mostly a **** and dunk show culminating in a longish pass for the TD. This is supposed to be characteristic of the MLF offense. Short stuff sets up longer stuff. Keep the opposition guessing and off-balance. Make every play start out looking about the same. Make the D pick their poison and then live off what they give you and also off of their mistakes and confusion. A subsequent series was then in total contrast to the one described above. Three longish pass routes had zero set-ups from runs or shorter passes. The result was a three-and-out thanks to three straight incompletions. There have been other series and also entire games where the contrast may have had a certain resemblance. It is worth noting that some of the long pass completions and TDs that have occurred during the season actually began as short-yardage completions, including the screen that set up Crosby's game-winner. An effective merge of offensive preferences may be possible, although an entire regular season of fine-tuning would seem to be enough time for them to develop a more consistent hybrid offense than we've been seeing. But if LaFleur and Rodgers are still working to discover that philosophical compromise it is also worth acknowledging that 13-3 is one heckuva result for a work still in progress. If there is a philosophical sweet spot for this offense yet to settle upon I can't wait to see it. [/QUOTE]
