Hey Chiefs fans... my thoughts for you since thread started...

Packers offense:
- Rodgers is looking midseason form already
- Lacy is probably 50/50 to play... hurt same ankle from 2013 season. Starks ran well in his absence, only have rookie Harris after him right now. Kuhn is fullback.. but mostly blocks.
- OL - Bulaga (RT) still out. Barclay (replacement) and Bakhtiari allowed quite a bit of pressure on the edges vs Seahawks... KC pass rush is definitely a concern and Barclay will most likely need help from TE or RB to chip someone. Center of Packers line very good... Sitton, Linsley, Lang.
- WR - J. Jones quiet vs Seahawks except for 1 TD, but Rodgers trusts him... Cobb looked better in week 2 from shoulder injury.. D. Adams the 2nd year WR is a bit banged up now as well. Montgomery rookie WR had to play vs Seattle and responded well with 4 catches and big penalty vs Sherman.
- TE - R. Rodgers is going to be good pass catching TE eventually... but still learning in his 2nd season.

Packers defense:
- Bears Matt Forte and Wilson from Seahawks made Packers run defense look bad. Charles will most likely have a big day for Chiefs... hopefully Packers can keep the yards somewhat respectable. Forte had a lot of luck bouncing it outside. They did good job vs Lynch.
- Clay Matthews will be at ILB most of game... lost Barrington in first game. Replacement Palmer is decent in coverage.. but a bit smallish and still learning.
- Raji on d-line has started out well.
- Pass defense has been decent... lost 2 CBs in free agency... Shields up and down 1st 2 games, Heyward who replaced Williams (went to Browns) has been average. Randall the rookie has played well. Helped to get Burnett back at safety vs Seahawks, he is leader in 2ndary and good with run support.
- Packers had a lot of missed tackles vs Bears, improved quite a bit vs Seahawks. Cannot afford to have another game like Bears vs Chiefs and expect to win.

Special teams:
- much improved with kick/punt coverage vs last year. Punter struggled in preseason.. but doing better. Crosby at kicker has been money in regular season already. Montgomery could be good one for kickoff returns.

I was surprised to look up... appears Packers have never beat KC at Lambeau.. they are 0-3-1 all time.

Good luck to the Chiefs... hope it is a good game and no injuries.
