The last time the Packers played the Bengals was a memorable game to say the least.  While most fans of the NFL found it to be humorous and fun, I found it to be upsetting.  The most memorable moment of the game was the Greg Gall incident. The Packers were trailing the Bengals 14-21 with about 30 seconds on the clock.  The Packers had driven from their own 5 yard line deep into Bengals territory, albeit with help from a pass interference penalty.  Brett Favre dropped back in the pocket and then Greg Gall, a drunken Bengals fan, sprinted across the field and snatched the ball out of Brett Favre’s hand.  Gall then ran towards the Bengals goal line until he was tackled by security, you can watch it here.

After the commotion ended, the Packers tried to finish the drive.  However, Favre was sacked on the following play, and then he was flagged for illegal forward pass while scrambling on the next play to end the game.  The Packers had great momentum going into that final drive that was killed by Greg Gall.    I believe that Favre would have pulled off some fourth quarter magic to bring that game into overtime, if the rhythm and momentum of that last drive was not broken.  This Sunday, the Bengals do not have the Greg Gall edge, and the Packers should soundly beat the Bengals.  GO PACK GO!
