The major strategic problem was dropping the run game in the 4th Q. We had just had a great drive to finish the 3rd Q including runs that while not getting us much yardage slowed up their pass rush. We get the turnovers and went to bombs away which allowed the pass rush pressure us again and resulted in two sacks and two 3 and outs.

We had enough to win. We didn't.
Youre down 28-10 in the 2nd half and the run game wasnt very consistent up to that point and it wasnt looking like the defense was going to be competent either blowing coverages on 3 TDs and allowing a big run they couldnt tackle on. Theyre going to pass in that situation to get back in it. Which they did.
They had just had a drive that got them back within 5 pts by mixing some runs with the pass. AR wasn't sacked. They got the ball gifted to them twice and it was 6 passes resulting in two 3 and outs. AR was sacked in both those drives. They didn't need to go full blown pass mode at that point. Keep the DL honest and make them take on Dillon.
just to add this in, could it be that since Dillon usually runs when he comes in, that it's a dead give away whats coming when he trots out, could be because Dillon is still learning the nuiances of picking up the blitzer and being a decent blocker, theres a reason why Dillon is still the #3 RB, and seems on a pitch count,, I'd like to have seen a couple runs there to, specially if Jones was available, but it's pretty hard to take the ball out of Rodgers hand, it did look like panic mode had set in though.
