This game didn't look good from the start.
The whole team was misfiring all game. A couple moments of greatness were snuffed out by a defense that looked confused and sluggish, giving up about 5 yards per carry to a mediocre running back and giving Carson Palmer as much time as you needed to throw it. The Packers looked terrible up front, and of course you can throw in the obligatory "illegal contact" which I'm pretty sure is only called on 3rd down situations against the Packers.
The offense couldn't get anything going, they had 1 pretty decent touchdown drive, the other offensive touchdown came after an interception returned inside the 10. The turning point though was a Ryan Grant fumble when the Packers were driving in the 3rd quarter that turned into the Bengals go ahead touchdown.
They were unsuccessful in stopping anything on defense, but most importantly the offensive line was once again unimpressive, and took a big blow when Chad Clifton went down. But that really didn't matter because they gave up 5 sacks throughout the whole game. Also, it could've been a different game without dropped passes from 4 different receivers. Someone needs to step up on this team or it's going to be a long year.

The Packers' need to get Grant going in the running game to help Rodgers out in the passing game. Some good teams in the National Football League that has a good passing game because those teams has a good running game to go with it. Also the Packers' offensive line need to protect Rodgers more. Yes, I knew that this is the first game that Will Blackmon played in this season due to an injury buy he needs to get back to what he did last season in the return game to help the Packers offensive too.
The Packers' defensive needs to make sure that they don't become they old shelf. I mean by "old shelf" is last year they had trouble stopping they opponent running game. They need to improve big time because some of the opponents they are going face-off this year has very good running backs. Do I have to name some of them for you? Steven Jackson (Rams), Frank Gore (49ers), Willie Parker (Steelers), Willis McGahee (Ravens), Julius Jones(Seahawks), Cadillac Williams (Buccaneers). That not forget about the Packers' divisional rival's running back Adrian Peterson (Vikings). Yes, the Packers' defensive needs to stop they opponents dangerous wide receivers too. I my final suggest is the Packers needs to control time of possession.
