They've had some extenuating circumstances regarding their running game. The two years prior to Grant getting hurt he was a 1200+ yd rusher.

Many Packer fans chalk up James Starks' late season success in the 2010 season as the final element that pushed the Packers over the top as Super Bowl champions. I would tend to agree with them.
When the Packers CAN run the ball, they are lethal.
Lately, they've been working hard at getting their ground game going. It's starting to look good.
