Game 5: Packers @ Bengals - Sunday, October 10th, Noon

Don't like the looks of this one.

Yes, I wouldn't consider a Bengals win an upset. They probably should be favored tbh. I don't see how the defense will be able to keep this Bengals offense under 28 with Jaire out.

That seems to be the opinion of every Packer fan I talked to this weekend, one of the most negative outlooks I can remember for a game we are favored in. It's probably not that bleak, if King(yeah I know) and Jenkins are back it at least partially offsets Jaire and Myers adding to our injury issues. I think a lot of us just think Jaire may be the tipping point for a D that isn't very good to start with. But we can certainly compete in a shootout.

Jenkins and Meyers are both out on the OL.

 

So is Jaylon Smith (mild surprise?).

Rob Demovsky says the OL will be:

 

LT: Nijman

LG: Runyan

C: Patrick

RG: Newsome

RT: Turner

Might take 40 to win this one

[HarveysWBs]

Wow, no tripping call there? Zebras are in mid-game form on the first series.

[young guns]

So is tripping only called if he falls down?

[DuWayne Steurer]

Nice job d-line. Stiffened up there.

[PinaMadness]

Taylor with an obvious block in the back that he got away with.

That was SUPER obvious, I don't know how that didn't get flagged.

[HarveysWBs]

Not sure what rodgers is whinging about, there was nothing there. He just forced that one.

I’m a little behind on the DVR, but I was surprised to see that too. It gives me some validation to jump on BF and find others equally confused.

 

On that first drive, it felt like they could run on Cinci all day. Things only stalled when they started passing.

[young guns]

That was impressive by Barnes.

[PinaMadness]

So far so good for the defense. I thought the Bengals would already have seven by now.

[HarveysWBs]

Even the punter struggling out there. Ugly start for every phase except D (thank goodness).

[nodakfan17]

Even the punter struggling out there.

Tell tale sign of a bad day?

 

I wonder what the Packers’ record is when Rodgers throws 1 or more picks vs. zero INT games? I’ll bet it’s lopsided. I’m nervous.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Look at that recovery speed by Stokes.

[nodakfan17]

Look at that recovery speed by Stokes.

Wow. That was crazy good.

[adambr2]

Smart call by the Bengals going for it at this area of the field on 4th down, not so much on our end for punting on it with the same opportunity.

[PinaMadness]

So far so good for the defense. I thought the Bengals would already have seven by now.

It couldn't last forever.

[DuWayne Steurer]

good lord. 15 straight red zone td's against this defense? Awful.

[jason21nl]

You can thank that series on the crappy ass punt. They probably wouldn’t go for it in 4th if they didn’t start with such good field position

[HarveysWBs]

Offense needs to figure out a way to piece together some quick hit passing mixed into some good run looks or this could spiral out of control quickly.

[nodakfan17]

Let’s run the ball, please.
