00:00Speaking of the Packers, you mentioned Packers took out Detroit in week one.

00:03They took out Cincinnati yesterday.

00:05Boy, this looked like a complete blowout in the first half of the game.

00:09Very similar, by the way, to the last time that Joe Flacco played with Cleveland.

00:13They came all the way back and won.

00:15You know, Flacco started to get his footing a little bit in the second half, but I don't know.

00:19I felt like this is a little bit of a paper score, Vinny.

00:22I just felt like the Packers took their foot off the pedal a little bit,

00:25and then when they needed to, they put it back on.

00:27I really don't have a lot of confidence in Cincinnati,

00:28but still think Green Bay is one of those teams to beat in the NFC.

00:33Yeah, when we saw that 14 number in favor of the Packers early in the week,

00:36it was pretty easy to the Bengals, especially when they got Flacco.

00:39That was too big of a number.

00:40They were just going to be somewhat competitive, hit some garbage things in the second half.

00:44That's exactly what happened here, right?

00:46Flacco, look, he was competent.

00:48He got the ball in the hands of their playmakers.

00:50He didn't turn the ball over, so that's a win, I think.

00:54I don't know if anyone expected them to go into Green Bay and win,

00:57even if they had Joe Burrow in this game, right?

00:59So you look at it, this is the big opportunity this week.

01:02The Steelers, look, they're rolling, but they're a flawed team.

01:05They've just crushed a couple teams that didn't have much of pass protection.

01:09The Bengals are one of those teams.

01:11They've had back-to-back six-sack games, the Steelers.

01:13So they've got to give Joe Flacco a chance in this one on Thursday night.

01:17But, yeah, the pass rush is going to be the concern now going forward,

01:21and that would have been the case had Burrow been back there as well.
