    Official Packers vs. Bengals Discussion Thread

    Bengals 3-1, coming off 24-21 win over Jax.

    Bengals rank 22nd in overall offense. 23rd in passing and 22nd in rushing. Joe Burrow has completed 73% of his passes for 988 yards with 9 TD's and 4 INT's. Ja'Marr chase is leading receiver with 297 yards and 4 TD's. Joe Mixon has 353 yards rushing with 2 TD's but may be questionable for this week.

    Defensively, Bengals are 7th overall, 14th against the pass and 9th against the rush. Opponents have had just 4 TD passes and 3 INT's in 4 games. Opponents have averaged just 3.7 yards per rushing attempt with 4 TD's. Defense has 11 sacks in 4 games. DT B.J. Hill leads Bengals with 3 sacks.

    Packers enter this week with the #25 offense, 24th in passing and 24th in rushing.

    Defensively, Packers are 6th overall, 8th in passing and 12th in rushing.

    Whether or not Mixon plays is a big deal as no one else on the Bengals has more than 28 yards rushing. Bengals receivers are pretty good though and could create problems with Alexander out.

    Overall though, the Bengals despite their record haven't been overly impressive. Their wins include an overtime win over Vikings and a 3 point win over Jacksonville. Their loss was to the Bears.

    Nice summary. Should be a W

      What’s gone right for the Packers (according to me and an article on Packers Wire I just read):

      1) Rodgers when throwing in rhythm.
      2) Backfield tandem.
      3) OL, despite the inexperience, has been at least average. According to ESPN stats, they are top 10 (barely) in both pass rush win rate and rushing win rate.
      4) Clark has been a beast. The only interior DL with at least 15 pressures and 10 run stops.
      5) Gary has been really good. One of only 7 players with at least 15 pressures and 6 QB hits. Also has one of the best grades against the run among edge rushers. I believe he was first either before or after the last game. Can’t remember when I read that.
      6) Campbell has been a stud (4th highest rated ILB so far).
      7) Stokes has been targeted a lot, but has held up well for a rookie. Has an interception and leads the league with 6 passes defensed.
      8) The punter and kicker.

        CIN WRs are good, Mixon and Burrow too. Expecting a high scoring game. Will be a test for the GB pass rush and a depleted secondary.

          When Aaron Rodgers throws the ball in 2.5 seconds or less, his passer rating is 118.9 this season, per Pro Football Focus. It drops to 76.9 when he holds the ball for more than 2.5 seconds. He’s almost unstoppable when playing on time.
          he Packers defense is slowly improving, but the group is a mess in a few important situations. On third down, the Packers defense is allowing conversions on 48.8 percent of opportunities, ranking 29th among 32 teams. It’s even worse in the red zone. Opponents have scored touchdowns on all 11 trips into the red zone against Green Bay. The Packers and Carolina Panthers are the only teams in football without a red-zone stop this season.
          While 17 passes have been completed into De’Vondre Campbell’s coverage area, the veteran linebacker has made sure the catches have created little to no impact. Overall, those completions – on 26 targets – have netted only 86 yards. Campbell also has two pass breakups and an interception in coverage, and his eight “stops,” or tackles creating an offensive failure, rank second among all linebackers, per Pro Football Focus.

            PFF's First Quarter Team includes 4 Packers: WR Davante Adams, LB De'Vondre Campbell, CB Jaire Alexander, and P Corey Bojorquez.

              Packers signed CB Rasul Douglas off Arizona’s practice squad. The 2017 third-round pick had nine PBUs for the Panthers last year.
              Douglas is a former Eagles pick. He's big (6-3, 209) and has started 29 games in 4 years.

              In game against Carolina last year Rodgers completed 5 of 5 passes against Douglas for 44 yards.

                Every year I throw this out there. Last year I said it with the Colts. Two seasons ago I said it with the Chargers. When you are a team with Owl aspirations you have to go on the road, out of conference and beat good not great teams. Cincinatti fits that mold. They are legit over .500. They have some talent, but need some work still. If the Packers are a super bowl team they will win this game. We lost the last 2 I benchmarked as such. If we can't win this game, we are not a super bowl team....however, add back in the 2 OL, Jaire and Z late in the year and that narrative can change even if we lose.

                If I had to bet, I'd take the 3 points and bet cincy.

                  Will Jaire Alexander need surgery?

                  "We're still gathering opinions on that," Packers coach Matt LaFleur said. "I know we're going to try to avoid that at all costs."

                  When asked whether Alexander is out at least this week vs. CIN, LaFleur said: "Most likely."

                    Didn't the Packers already prove they can do that when they went on the road and beat the 49ers? Do they have to win 'em all?

                      The more you know:

                      Bengals head coach Mac Taylor's wife is the former Sarah Sherman, daughter of former GBP coach Mike Sherman.

                            Much of country will see Packers at Bengals. Kenny Albert and Jonathan Vilma with he call. Lower peninsula, northwest Wisconsin and Minnesota will get Detroit at Minnesota. Chris Myers and Daryl Johnson with the call.

                              Regarding Jaire, I hate to say it, but LaFleur sounded more like it's somewhere between bad and worse, not between good and bad news.
                              What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?
