The Packers will continue to work on their defense and run game as solely relying on Rodgers will not consistently win.
NE has lost SB's because they can't protect Brady or play defense.
What does that sound like?

The Steelers, Giants, and Packers were all among the worst teams in the league, if not the absolute worst, at running the ball when they won their most recent SBs. They all run a huge percentage of their O out of shotgun, and apply a much more aggressive, vertical downfield passing game.
Look at where all of the innovation is coming from in football. It's not the NFL, it's college and high school.
Although the players in the NFL are the best, the minds lag behind.
