I agree, it’s literally Rodgers and that’s it on offense, if AJ Dillon massively outperforms many of our expectations then hooray they have some run game and play action but no player to pay off.
that FO really dicked Rodgers around this offseason
I mean I guess the thought is a) they're going to be much more run-heavy, may even run more than they throw and b) that will help Aaron in play-action and to be more efficient and stay within the confines of the offense.
My problem is... I think they're pretty average at running the ball. Like if they think they're going to be as good as SF or Minnesota or Seattle or some of these run-heavy teams, I think they're in for a rude awakening.
I like their front seven quite a bit, but to be honest, if they played like SF ten times on a neutral field, I'd be shocked if they won more than maybe 1-2 times. They match up so poorly with physical teams who can run on them and get after the QB. And I think the three better teams in the NFC, like Minnesota, NO and SF, can bury them pretty easily.
I think they're a playoff team, but I don't see how they get to like 12-13 wins, which is what it would take to get a #1 seed.
On schedule alone, they play Minnesota twice, who's a nightmare matchup for them, @ New Orleans, @ Tampa, @ SF. I think that's 4-5 losses right there, and that's assuming they win every other game.
