Bye, Bengals offer Packers a Litmus Test and Opportunities for Growth

Week 5 has all but come and gone, with only one game left to play, some of you might have been singing the blues with the Packers idle at home on a bye.

And you know what, it's the best thing that could've happened given how things have shaken out.

The Packers came out of the gate piping hot, just like I expect my fries every time I hit the drive-thru at Culver's, but two straight road trips to Cleveland and then Dallas cooled off the Cheese quickly. Now the Packers have a chance to get back right with a reeling Cincinnati Bengals team sans QB Joe Burrow and 17th Overall Pick Shemar Stewart at DE.
