Logan wilson has to be one of the biggest disappointments especially with how good he has been all season.

Good players have bad games. See: Rodgers, Aaron circa Week 1.

And I’m sure packers fans were disappointed in him week 1. Probably more so considering their off-season. I borderline believed he was trolling the team

i definately believe Rodgers was making a statement that game...

Is Sam Hubbard going to make a meaningful play anytime soon? He made no contribution vs the Packers
It's not like he was going up against a elite RT either Bobby Turner. He needs to step his game up especially vs elite
Teams like the Packers.
LDE is lacking the playmaking since Dunlap left.

I could've sworn he got pressure on Rodgers which forced him out of the pocket and resulted in Rodgers throwing the ball away but I guess since he didn't get a sack he made no "meaningful plays".

I was more disappointed in Bates, tbh. I know he was returning from injury, but I thought he was BRUTAL in that game. And his PFF grade matches my eye test.

Goodness, that play by the sideline where he was juked was rough.   Conversely, I've been liking what I've seen in ADG's development.   Awuzie was a brilliant signing.   Not only is he athletic and fast, but he's also not adverse to laying the pads.   No doubt the best corner we've had in years.

I could have sworn  he got washed out also
When Aaron Jones was gauging that right side
For gains of 14 and 10 yards. 
Are you really satisfied with one assumed pressure
On Rodgers?
QBs like Rodgers can make throws all day with "pressure"
Hubbard gets a pass around here for whatever reasons.

I'm just saying one bad game isn't cause for concern
 Be mad or disappointed; just remember these guys are still fallible.

Hubbard's strength is his run defense, not his pass rush. Always has been, always will be.
I expect that's why Ossai was drafted. Get him in the game in place of Hubbard on 3rd and long (or swing Hubbard inside in those situations, where he's been more effective).

Agreed, but even his run defense sucked against GB. Hopefully it was just a rare off day.

The run defense as a whole was decent though aside from that single 57 yard run.

Aside from that run, the Bengals only allowed 76 yards on 21 carries (3.6 YPC).

We need another pass rusher from the LDE spot
To help out Hendrickson. If Hubbard cant do any better rushing the QB then it might as well be
11 vs 10. 
In a,passing league  you cant have a surplus of edge rushers
Look what the Browns did..added McKinely and Clowney...both getting to the QB better than Hubbard.

That's what Ossai was for.
He just happens to have gotten injured.
Who should they go get midseason to fill in the gap?

If Chase didn't remind us that you can't trust your eyes in preseason, Hodges preseason performance should hammer that home. 

I thought we really had something there.

He’s only had a handful of snaps on defense, so who knows.
