Flashback Friday: The Run Begins
It was the day after Christmas, and Packers fans woke up with a sense of nerves around them. After shockingly losing in Detroit with quarterback Aaron Rodgers sustaining a concussion, and dropping a game in New England the week prior the Packers were left scrambling. A season that began with Super Bowl aspirations appeared to be on the brink of missing the playoffs altogether.
Luckily for the Packers Desean Jackson returned a punt for a touchdown to defeat the New York Giants in stunning fashion, allowing them to control their own destiny. The Packers needed two wins at home to reach the postseason. Standing in their way before the season finale against the Chicago Bears was the New York Giants led by Eli Manning. The last time the Giants visited Lambeau Field prior to this matchup the lasting impression is not pleasant. The Packers were playing at home with a chance to go the the Super Bowl. Instead of a coronation, the Giants dominated the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball, and Brett Favre threw an interception in overtime allowing the Giants to advance and eventually become Super Bowl champions.
The game also marked the return of quarterback Aaron Rodgers who had missed the game in New England after sustaining his second concussion of the season in Detroit. Rodgers return was marked with a challenge from head coach Mike McCarthy.

It is time: for Favre’s Return
Five years ago, the unthinkable happened. The Green Bay Packers traded the face of their franchise. Unceremoniously, Brett Favre moved on to play for the New York Jets, and eventually the Minnesota Vikings. His move to the Vikings caused a divide among the fan base. He went from the most beloved, to the most reviled. It was one of the most controversial moves in NFL history, and still resonates with fans today.
Many have called him a traitor. There was animosity between Favre, and the front office, signs at Lambeau once read “Judas betrayed only one, you betrayed us all”. Favre often talked about playing against Green Bay hoping to “stick it” to General Manager Ted Thompson. Packer fans called defeating the Vikings twice in 2010 revenge because of how everything changed. It has never been directly quoted, but there had to be some extra satisfaction for Thompson as well.
Time has passed, wounds have healed and it is time to move on, and make things right again.
Recent history would suggest to you that the Packers always had some sort of conflict with Favre, that he was a player who caused trouble. In recent history it is easy to come to that conclusion. Favre was consistently in the news for all the wrong reasons. Flip-flopping on retirement, negotiating for players in the media and the previously documented desire for revenge against the franchise for which he was best known.

Packers draft shows shift in focus
For several seasons now the Packers identity on offense has been very similar. An up-tempo passing attack featuring multiple wide receiver sets and stretches throughout the game where the running game was abandoned.
After winning the Super Bowl in 2010 there was a noticeable shift in the Packers offense in 2011 and the early part of 2012. Instead of a traditional west coast offense with a controlled passing game, The Packers, had gone with vertical concepts similar to the San Diego Chargers under Don Coryell. The offense was able to score at will in 2011, but early in the 2012 season they struggled. The offenses vertical concepts forced teams to play more cover 2, and the offensive line struggled. The most embarrassing portion of 2012 came in Seattle where the Packers surrendered eight sacks in the first half. Some of the sacks can be attributed to poor protection, but some can also be put into the Packers early season offensive identity.
Following the embarrassment in Seattle the Packers thought process shifted to a more controlled game that featured running back Cedric Benson. Benson’s role in the offense, however was not continuous as he was injured late in the first half in the game against Indianapolis. Benson’s absence left the Packers without a solid option at running back until the late emergence of DuJuan Harris making the Packers offense less dynamic than in years past. Teams were daring them to run the ball and they were unable. After their season ended against the San Francisco 49ers in embarrassing fashion, the Packers were called soft both offensively and defensively by several media pundits.
