Week 6 vs Bengals Pre-Game Thread

[Half Empty]

Thanks Ty, didn't know that. Well hopefully, he won't be needed on Sunday. I'm looking for a two or three score win over the Bengals.

So they'll just going for 2 after each of the many TDs?

 

[Heyjoe4]

So they'll just going for 2 after each of the many TDs? Good question if McManus is actually out. They have an international kicker on the PS who should be good for XPAs. But if the Packers build a two or three score advantage in the 2H, then going for two would be good practice with little risk.

 

[gopkrs]

I'm going to say it again. I hope Haf gives Cooper the go ahead to play with instinct.

 

[tynimiller]

So Tom, Banks, and Belton are not expected to play? I suppose there is some logic in resting them against a weak opponent with injuries of their own. But damn they need a win here. All men on board.

Belton is the only one given out designation of those.

 

[rmontro]

And I expect another big day from the D, with some turnovers for a change.

They've got to start coming sooner or later.

 

[Sanguine camper]

Did the Packers actually have a bye week? You couldn't tell by the injury report. So much for guys getting healthy with the time off. That might work for some teams but not this bunch.

Who expects the Packers to sleep walk this game? I do. This is the type of situation coming off a bye against a team with a second string QB where MLF will be unprepared. I expect a low scoring game where the special teams can make the difference.

Our guys can get injured sitting in the film room. We're going to need a bye week to recover from the bye week.

Okay couple things….placing two guys off of IR and starting their timeline for return padded the list…also Love’s injury everyone knew was going to cause him to be on it likely ALL year. Krafts was one he’s said he’s gonna have to deal with till off season.

Wyatt we all knew also was likely out given the significance and working out half dozen DLs.

Injuries are injuries

 

[Pkrjones]

And I hope Wyatt returns this week. With Clark's departure, Wyatt is needed for run defense. Gluten could only do so much in FA and the draft, and he focused on the OL. The additions or Parsons makes up for a lack of depth on the DL.

I'm hoping Gute is actively looking for DL trade options prior to the deadline. Wyatt is crucial to the D success and could use a similarly talented counter-part si if either go down the D isn't changed.

 

[Pkrjones]

Why not? Only need to succeed 50% of them to be "even".

 

[shockerx]

yep but last time I bet on black it came up red like 10 times in a row. LOL

[OldSchool101]

I’m actually excited to see what Brinson can do. He might not be a World beater but he’s a very well rounded player. He’s the only drafted Packer coming in that draft buzz graded 77,77,77 across each phase. You don’t become a regular rotational in Georgia without careful examination first. He’s not going to Wow anyone in Run Stop, but that’s not really our weakness either way. We have a grade A LB core to finish up. Where I do like Warren is he has a slightly better Pass rush than TJ did. He’s able to occasionally crawl past OL and get into the backfield. At 6’5 315lb he’s pretty quick and not someone our opponent wants in the QB pocket. They can’t really double Warren because that would leave Gary or Parsons singled.

Iheart radio is a free app that can usually get a WI station broadcasting the game. I had trouble game 1 finding one that didn't tell me "you are out of our broadcasting area" but I finally found a Janesville station that I coud listen.

 

[OldSchool101]

Well that's what we'll find out. Is this the team from weeks 1 and 2, or 3 and 4? In fairness, the OL has been hit hard by injuries, and they'll need Wyatt back.

I think they are more like the team we saw in weeks 1 and 2. It's time to get back in that groove.

Yes I agree. Imo we’re closer to the version of the week 1-2 team as a whole. My best guess is our D will regress just a little into that Top 4-8 scoring, but our Offense will improve also into a Top 6-8 scoring version.

We showed a little susceptibility there on the Road recently, but early in the season we have to temper both the good and bad imo.

I'm afraid you may be right and MLF will not have the team ready for a "gimme" against the Bengals. I certainly hope I'm wrong on this, but MLF doesn't seem to learn from his mistakes. His clock management has been horrible for a few years now.

Again, I hope I'm wrong and the Packers throttle the hapless Bengals.

I read somewhere, and recently, that Wyatt wouldn't be playing today. After the bye, that's concerning.

MLF must avoid the similar nuances of the McCarthy era. These were the kind of games in which we found ways to lose and may have had to pull out a victory against a lesser opponent because we had a HOFer or 2 on the roster. One of the quotes that came up in the MM days after a bye or a lackluster performance was " Do we even practice? "

 

[DoURant]

Back at Lambeau, where we started the season 2-0 against two tough opponents. I think this team rolls today and wins convincingly... 31-13.

Go Pack Go!

Perfect weather for football. Partly cloud. 60s. Breezes about 13-15 mph.

Sirius XM is a good choice. I have it in my car. I also use Simple Radio, which I'm giving you a link, at home and it's free. I pick up local radio stations in Wisconsin, and listen to some HS football games and basketball as well. It's also a great source of listening to things like the Wisconsin State basketball tournament while doing something else. You can upload it on your phone, which I have, and love it. True, there are ads, but there is a paid version which removes the majority of them. Well worth checking out.

Here's a link to the list of radio stations carrying the games. You can simply tune into any one of them and enjoy them. My Son even used it to enjoy a game while out on Lake Austin bass fishing.

I hope this helps.

EDIT: the stations on the second list are actually available in Simple Radio. Easy to tune in to every game and it's 100% free. You just download the app onto phone, or any other device and enjoy!

One of my brothers lives in Arizona. He said that he was able to tell his Alexa to play a Wisconsin radio station (that is a part of the Packers Radio Network) and was able to listen to the game on Sunday.
