>>"The packers have an average D, and can't run."<<
They can at times run pretty effectively:
226 yds vs Chicago (162 for Montgomery)
163 yds vs Lions
109 yds vs Texans
93 yds vs Seahawks
The Packers will take whatever the opponents D wants to give them. Usually though, they only will run enough for the opposing D to have to respect the run. When you have Rodgers, a team would have to be stupid not to take advantage of his talents. Why run the ball for 3-4 yards when he can give you a much bigger play? Also, Rodgers can get a 1st down with his legs as well as his arm.
Re: This "America's Team" nonsense. The team is owned by Jerry Jones, it's his team. The Packers are owned by Stockholders all over the country (including me). If any teams deserves that moniker (and I don't want it) it would be the Packers.
