Sunday was a difficult game for any Packers fans to watch.  The Bengals controlled the line of scrimmage on both sides, Cedric Benson ran all over the Packers, Rodgers got sacked 6 times, the Packers committed  11 penalties, the Packers star wide receiver was shut-out,  and Ochocinco did get to do his Lambeau Leap.  This game is a classic example of bad football with only a few bright spots.  Which begs the question, what happened in the Packers preseason?

Anybody  who watched the first three Packers preseason games could not help but be impressed.  The issues that the Packers face were not present.  Aaron Rodgers had adequate protection in the pocket and Barbre actually looked good.  The 3-4 defense seemed to work well.  They actually looked like an offensive powerhouse.  As soon as the regular season started, it is watching a completely  different team, with trouble on both sides of the ball.  Were these first games bumps in the road, and the Packers can really play at that level, or is the preseason nonidictive of a teams future performance?  GO PACK GO!
