"3. Is it better to throw 3 (or 4) passes beyond the first down marker to try every time to get a first down with one play or is it better to try to set up 3rd and 4? The problem is that one missed assignment or drop happens and you punt. If you make every play a sure first down if it's executed correctly, you have three chances of converting for a first down every new set of downs."
This has to be done quickly, as our O Line needs to be able to block, long enough, for Rodgers to see the open receiver(s) and get the ball to them. I hate when we need 6 or 7 yards and throw the ball 4 yards, hoping the receiver can get the yardage needed for the first down. I think throwing to the RBs, here, works well.
