We shot ourselves in the foot in so many ways against Atlanta, I'm looking for a bounce back game against the Bengals. I wish we still had McCarthy starting, but I have a positive vibe with Wentz taking over until JJ returns.

I'm excited to see Mason in the starting role, and I like Ackers as his backup. Word is that Darrisaw (and Harry) is likely to play, which will be a big boost, too. It sucks that Kelly is out -- hopefully Wentz's experience will help him handle the problems that creates.

It sure would be nice heading over to Europe with a 2-1 record.

I expect both lines to play better, not sure if CD plays but even if he doesn't. It's not like we have anywhere to go but up. Couldn't run or stop the run last week. Time for the trenches to step up and start winning games.

It sounds like Darrisaw, Smith and Van Ginkel all will be active today...not 100%, but at least playing. I think we win this one today.

OMG CD is BAAAAAACK!!!!!

I don’t know if this is good or bad, but “The Sixth Wentz” is pretty damn clever!

Running game is back

The Rodgers game will be remembered.

This has to be the greatest half in the history of football by a CB. 3 turnovers and 2 TD's.

Sure will...and he just caused another fumble after running two back! Not the smartest guy...was suspended for a year for placing bets on his own team. But he's been sensational today.

Wentz is seeing a lot of pressure, but is doing just what we want him to do. JJ is our QB of the future, but this team needs a veteran at QB for this season I think...we have to be in "win now" mode if our defense is going to be this dominant.

He's been fine so far. Really with the defense scoring a couple TD's and the OLine run blocking well, he hasn't had to do much. That's what we need though. Not have to put too much on the QB like last week.

I need to see more games to see though. I'm still a JJ should play guy when healthy unless Wentz proves to be very good and we keep winning.
