Packers bye week comes as the Packers are at their low point this season

There is a nice article about the Packers tough loss in Cincinnati by my nephew Adam Kriesel.

I would like to add that 1-2 was the Packers record after a game was stolen in Seattle last season. Things sure did get a lot better after that and my guess is that they will again this season.

Packers lose to Bengals 30-34 in Week 3

How concerned am I about the Packers starting the season at 1-2? ...Not concerned at all

PACKERTALK is BACK



It's Week 3 for the 2013 Green Bay Packers and after beating up the Washington Redskins in Week 2 it finally feels to me like the Pack is Back!

As always injuries are a big concern: http://www.jsonline.com/sports
·  Out: S Morgan Burnett (hamstring), CB Jarrett Bush (hamstring), CB Casey Hayward (hamstring)
·  Doubtful: John Kuhn (hamstring)
·  Questionable: RB Eddie Lacy (questionable)
·  Probable: TE Jermichael Finley (toe), DE Johnny Jolly (neck), LG T.J. Lang (back), CB Tramon Williams (groin) 

The Packers travel to Cincinnati with a Defense that really misses Burnett and Hayward and with no Jarrett Bush for Special Teams this week, the Offense will, once again, need to carry the load. The Offensive Line will be the key as they take on this huge and talented front 4 of the Bengals.

I expect that this game will see both teams score in the 30s with the Packers winning only because Aaron Rodgers is a much more accurate Quarterback than Andy Dalton.

I would not be shocked if Aaron Rodgers throws for 500 yards in this game and no longer has to share the record with Matt Flynn but with a banged up Defense and a Special Teams that is shaky so far including a Kicker Mason Crosby, I am concerned...how about you?
