All The Packers Do Is Score Points & Not Turn The Ball Over. Here For It.
Every week I seem to have a new start for you about the Green Bay Packers offense. Should that surprise any of you consider how good the Packers offense has been? Not really. They’re doing some historic things right now. Dan Orlovsky of ESPN called them like the Golden State Warriors of football. That comparison gets throw around too much but he at least brings some knowledge to it discussing how Green Bay doesn’t throw intermediate passes with their offense. This team is off to a historic start. Is it sustainable? Who knows. But let’s have some fun while it’s happening.
– Green Bay is the first team in NFL history to score 150-plus points with no turnovers in the first four games of the season.
– The Packers have scored 152 points this season, the most in team history through four games since Green Bay joined the
NFL in 1921.#Packers #GoPackGo— Jason Wahlers (@JTWahlers) October 6, 2020
The fact Green Bay hasn’t turned the ball over and only punted eight times all year is amazing. They’re scoring on almost every drive. That is hard to do and something we do not see often. Green Bay does have one of the best quarterbacks when it comes to not turning the ball over. But the crazy thing, I don’t recall one moment this year where it felt like Aaron Rodgers should have thrown an interception. Jamaal Williams said over Zoom yesterday that he thought Rodgers could go interception-less this season if no balls are tipped to the defense. That’s pretty incredible.
Will someone figure out this offense? Potentially. It happened to Green Bay in their 6-0 start in 2015. They were rolling heading into Denver who was also good at the time. And Wade Phillips absolutely mindfucked Green Bay’s system. San Francisco worries me due to the relationships between the coaches. If that does happen, the Packers will need to make adjustments and not be stubborn. From my brief time with Matt LaFleur, it seems like something he will do.
