The Packers beat the Chargers. I would guess that on at least 75% of the snaps, the Packers didn’t even have a running back in the game. Goes back to my philosophy that if I was made a head coach, the first thing I’d do is cut all the running backs. (Seriously, you probably need to keep one for the something-and-inches plays, which should be QB sneaks anyway.) The Packers only ran 13 times, which was 13 too many for me. Now, here’s the key point. If Mike Sherman or anyone else was coaching, they would have tried to run the ball as every team does, and would probably have lost by 14 points. I would have said they would have won if they passed all the time, and some of you would have said I’m making my usual excuses, and the Packers would not have won. My point is that if teams do what I say they should do, I don’t have to make excuses, because those teams will win. And if they don’t, at least they gave it their best shot. Fortunately, Mike McCarthy does learn from mistakes, and realizes a high-percentage passing game is much more effective, especially since they lost Ahman Green and their starting running back is hurt.
