The misanthropes on Packers Twitter will paint it as a chance for Joe Flacco to beat Green Bay again.

The truth is Jeff Hafley's crew have the advantage -- and motivation -- in a rematch.

Green Bay Packers defense gets chance to avenge loss at the hands of Joe Flacco

The most jaded Packers fans and rabble-rousers love to point out the new Cincinnati Bengals QB has faced Green Bay before. They're right, but in the opposite way they mean.

The only QBs with a worse completion percentage above expectation than Caleb Williams this season are Dillon Gabriel and Cam Ward.

Multiple QBs who have been benched and/or traded have been better.

No, the #Packers didn't blow the #Bengals out on Sunday, but their "best" is the best best we've seen so far this season.

Why the sky is not falling in Green Bay and how they can get even better.

The sky is not falling for the Green Bay Packers despite an "unimpressive" win in Week 6

So who are the definitely good teams in the NFL, exactly?

Holy shit what a play

Peter Bukowski @peterbukowski.bsky.social · 1d

Can't be late in the red zone. Absolute death.

Peter Bukowski @peterbukowski.bsky.social · 1d

#Packers are 7th in DVOA this season (behind two teams they already beat).

They're still 2nd in defense and 10th in offense DVOA.

The sky is not falling.

Matt LaFleur: Zach Tom avoided a setback

Zach Tom: I blacked out in the second half it hurt so bad.

These dudes are built so incredibly different.

37 of Josh Jacobs carries have been against light boxes (7 or fewer defenders).

He averages 4.7 YPC in those spots.

20 of his attempts are heavy boxes. He's averaging 1.9 YPC there. Among RBs with at least as many carries, that's the 3rd-worst average.

Jordan Love was 6/9 for 105 yards and a touchdown on play-action against the Bengals per @NextGenstats.

The play-action game is back in a big way this season.

The 4th-and-5 punt that I didn't like was a toss-up by the models, but mostly because the Packers were strongly expected to win up 10-0 anyway.

This was more about attitude for me. If you're a good team, 4th-and-5 is the cutoff for me: in plus territory, I'm going for that every time.

Told this to @Brandon Sneide and Coach Jags on the Squad Show last night: Jordan Morgan's best position is whatever position he gets to play consistently.

Don't care if it's LT/RT/RG or what. This OL needs continuity and he's a good player.

Before the game, I said Joe Flacco wouldn't be a big upgrade over Jake Browning.

Bengals fans insisted Chase and Higgins would handle that.

I feel like we were both right. Chase/Higgins clearly elevated Flacco but he still averaged less than 5 YPA and scored 18 points.

Last week, @byjbh.bsky.social asked two key questions that the #Packers answered (In good and bad ways) on Sunday against the Bengals.

I dove into those and more in today's FREE Monday @theleap.bsky.social

Jordan Love controls the game, but defense stumbles again as Packers hold off the Bengals

Love threw the interception early, but otherwise played fully in control and ultimately iced the game to earn a 27-18 win over the banged-up Cincinnati Bengals.

Jordan Love and Josh Jacobs were excellent, the defense buckled again, but the #Packers beat the Bengals and now sit atop the NFC North.

We reacted live after the game.

Wow, you'll never believe this, but Brian Branch was involved in some bullshit.

Lions front-running again.

Can't handle being bullied, only being the bully.

Lions are -27 vs. the Packers and Chiefs but +75 against everyone else (all .500 or below teams)

Peter Bukowski @peterbukowski.bsky.social · 2d

This is what I mean when I joke about the Lions running it up on bad teams.

Play a real team, and this is what happens.
