When we played the Bengals, we had been on a roll pretty good. I think with how tough the Eagles game was and how poorly Rodgers played, they are going to want to look good. I thing we see a pretty solid effort out of them.

On a roll? The Packers needed last-minute heroics to beat the Bears in the season opener last year. The offensive line was horrible. That was the Allen Barbre game.
I agree that they should make a much better showing in this game than they did against the Bengals, though, because the Bills are a really bad team.
For those who think the Packers always play down to the level of their competition and squander big leads, here are some scores from last year:
36-17 over Rams
26-0 over Lions
31-3 over Browns
34-12 over Lions
48-10 over Seahawks
33-7 over Cardinals
The Bucs were the only bad team that played a close game with the Packers. The Niners did come back in the second half after the Packers ran up a big lead on them, but the Niners were playing decent football at the time, and that was kind of a weird game, with Kampman and Harris both blowing out their knees.
The Bengals, of course, were a playoff team and one of the better teams in the league last year until late in the season, when Chris Henry died. That was devastating for them.
If the Bills are going to compete and maybe win this game, they will need to win the special teams battle, get a few turnovers, and hope the Packer offense is out of sync. Not impossible, but not highly likely.
