Well it was ugly and GB did play down to the Bengal's level for most of the game but thank goodness they scored more than 16 points.

But in the Bengals game, one problem was that the Bengals defense is set-up to pass rush... and they got caught off guard by the new play caller and made some mistakes and got behind early.
But I have to give the Packers defense a little credit... missing so many important guys and having to face a play caller that they don't have tape on... and get 3 extra days to prepare... and after that first drive, they only gave up 10 points in the last 58 mins and 18 seconds of the game (in part due to overtime). The first drive and Rodgers pick-6 were the other 14 points.
Of course they're going to be facing a better team this Thursday.
