After a tough win against the Chicago Bears, the Packers have a fairly easy road to 3-0. They play the Cincinnati Bengals this week, followed by the St. Louis Rams in week 3. The Bengals have seemed to have fallen apart in recent years. They have been plagued by locker room problems, legal problems, injuries and just bad performances over the last couple years. The Rams have been just simply bad in recent years. These are not only great opportunities for the Packers to rack up wins, but also great opportunities to work on the problems they ran into Sunday night. The Packers should win these games and solve the following issues along the way, so they are ready for the Vikings.
- Babre has the physical capablities to succeed, but has really struggled with technique and looked flat out bad against the Bears. His feet always seemed to be in the wrong place. McCarthy has two weeks to get Babre playing at a professional level, give him blocking help or find a replacement
- Aaron Rodgers should get his break out week in these two games. He lead his first 4th quarter come back last week (except two against the Lions) to put any remaining doubter to rest. He needs to start hitting his receivers in stride and prove to the world he is an NFL elite. Playing the Bengals and the Rams should give him a great opportunity to do this. The drive for the Packers offense to fire on all cylinders, improvement on the offensive line and playing weak teams leads me to believe Rodgers will have a career game in the next two weeks.
- The Packers will hopefully get more oppertunities to establish the running game in the coming two weeks. They really need to prevent themselves from being one dimensional on offense. If they can run less inconsistantly, it will make Rodgers life much easier.
