CIN vs. GB: Answer Your Week 2 Questions Here

Greetings from Acme Packing Company, SB Nation's Green Bay Packer site.  I am Mitchell, one of the writers for APC, and I wanted Bengal fans to have an opportunity to get answers about the Packers as we head into next week's game.

As an aside, let me offer my deepest condolences for being on the wrong end of what might be the flukiest play of the year.  I was pulling for you guys to win (mainly because I despise Josh McDaniels), and to have it turn out like that must have been awful. 

In any case, it's a new week and a new game is upon us.  Want to know the weak link in the Packers' secondary?  How to short circuit the high-flying offense?  Which player is most important to the new 3-4 defense?  Or maybe just which player will talk the most trash to Chad Johnson Ochocinco?

I'll have answers for as many questions as I can handle; so let them fly!  And feel free to drop by www.acmepackingcompany.com to see the lead-up to gametime from a different perspective.

I somehow doubt it

but perhaps they should be.

I remember running the tip drill in high school (I played safety); we only ever ran the drill on gamedays, and we hardly ever had to use the “skills” we learned from it. I guess Brandon Stokely really likes the tip drill. (Double entendre’d!)

Seriously, guys, don’t feel too bad about that play. If nothing else, it will give your defense a chip on its shoulder that it can use as motivation to improve for the rest of the season.

I think

we need something to give the offense a chip on its shoulder.

Or at least give bratowsky a chip on his.

so he'll call another great round of plays..

2008 play call standard:
1st down- run up the middle
2nd down- run up the middle
3rd down- try to throw to TJ
4th down- bad 20yrd punt by Larson

his playbook changes for this year:
1st down- run up the middle
2nd down- run to the tackles
3rd down- pass to a TE or Coles who will drop the pass or get murdered in space
4th down- awesome 45 yrd punt by Huber

Good work Brat.. dont worry, you wont get fired. What a big fat suckball..

lol

suckball? That’s new.

This is our year!

hey, he only calls run up the middle if he’s got a speed back in there. if it’s a power back, you’ll see plenty of stretches and pitches.

That must be his (retarded) idea of a trick play I guess…

by FriarBob on Sep 18, 2009 8:41 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

no, his trick play is the screen pass. he’s just sure it’s going to trick somebody eventually; that’s why he keeps using it.

you're all posers. i hated bratkowski before it was cool.

Packer's Defense

I watched the game on Sunday and was impressed by the aggressiveness of the Packer’s secondary and their success at causing Cutler turnovers. Are the players that were injured in the second half going to play this week – full strength or not?

Can you guys resign Don Majkowski please? Playing against him might be the Bengals’ only shot.

There were only two players were affected,

Nick Collins and Atari Bigby, the starting safeties. Collins was suffering from cramps (it was a hot day that day), so he’ll be 100%.

Atari Bigby tweaked his knee; we’re still waiting on news of his availability.

Collins is infinitely more important than Bigby is; his health is crucial to the 3-4’s aggresiveness.

Pack's OLine

Thanks for answering our questions.

I’ve heard rumors that the Pack’s OLine may have some injury problems, namely an OT. Did a starter go down in Week 1?

Thank you

Green Bay avoided any significant injuries on offense

All five of our starters remain healthy. The biggest story on the O-Line is with RT Allen Barbre and just how strong a hold he has on the starting gig. Maybe he was injured, and that’s why he couldn’t keep up with Bears’ DE Adewale Ogunleye, but I doubt it.

sorry, i should have done my homework. I was confused about pack fans wanting Tauscher back….

sorry, that was a stupid question, but thanks for the response.

It was bad… really bad. The Packers coaches said that the whole offensive line struggled, but I went back and watched some tape, and RT Allen Barbre was just horrible. Ogunleye had about 8 hits on Rodgers….literally. (Barbre did look ok to me on rushing downs)

Packer fans had been blessed with 8 or 9 really solid years from the the tackles (Clifton and Tauscher), its easy to forget how important those guys are.

Concern

Hey, I want to let you know that I love the Pack this year… except this week of course.

Your team does of course have many reasons to be confident, but my question is what is your biggest concern when facing the Bengals on Sunday. Be kind…

by The Dealio on Sep 16, 2009 5:17 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Honestly,

it’s the linebackers. While Chicago’s Lance Briggs and Brian Urlacher gave the Packer offense problems, I have a feeling that Keith Rivers, Rey Maualuga, and Roy Williams (when he’s not getting burned in coverage) will make establishing a run game very difficult.

How are you going to deal with Sunday's loss against the Bengals?

i imagine beer and cheese will help them a lot.

you're all posers. i hated bratkowski before it was cool.

Lots of hand-wringing and claims of "the sky is falling"

Unless, of course, we don’t lose, in which case everything will be hunky-dory.
