Packers at Broncos Game Blog

Not starting out well. Defense needs to tighten up. Broncos are rolling from deep in their own territory. Nice little drive going.

No flags, and a third-down hold. Broncos did a good job of moving it out of their own endzone, Pack takes over at the twenty after a punt to the endzone.

Perfect pass to Jennings and he drops it. End of drive. Looks like I’m right.

Denver takes over at their own 40, I hate to say it, but my guess is at least three on this drive.

Yep, the Packers are not ready to play tonight. One of those games where you can tell early what the outcome will be. I hate being right. Might be a short blog tonight.

Bigby reminds me of the Bigby I ripped in the preseason. Two penalties and a touchdown pass given up. Where is Marquand Manuel when you need him. What a horrible series for Bigby. Can you say Charlie Peprah?

Holy cow! Maybe there is a little magic in the old arm yet. Brett Favre to James Jones for 79 yards and a touchdown! A one-play drive and the rookie Jones beats Broncos’ all-world corner Champ Bailey. Who needs a running game? I know, I know, look at me now. We got this one back, but there is a long way to go and the defense better do its job or Favre may have to do that all night.

That is inexcusable. A personal-foul face-mask penalty and now a holding penalty on Charles Woodson. What a joke. Might as well give them a touchdown. Talk about undisciplined and not ready to play football. This defense thinks its way better than it really is. Can you have any more time to throw? Jay Cutler could get a manicure back there.

I really predicted this game wrong. I thought the Packers’ defense would play well and the Packers’ offense would struggle. With the exception of one play, this has the makings of a blowout. The Packers’ defense decided not to show up.

Well, I tried not to jinx them and maybe in the end I did just that. Settling for three after going 98 yards is only slightly better than turning it over. I should have said something. I’m sorry.

Why am I not surprised DeShawn Wynn is not in the game? That is one thing I was right about six months ago. Wynn is a wimp. Period.

Taking my chances. The Packers could do some serious damage to the Broncos’ hopes as well as my prediction with a touchdown here. All this Deanna Favre stuff with the Packers moving the ball down field, don’t want to waste the good karma.

Karma wasted as Favre misses a wide open Donald Driver. Far from over, not even half-time yet, but 13-7 is better than nothing I guess.

What am thinking? 21-7 and the game is over. Now, I still think Denver wins. Instead of turnovers, inability to score in the red zone kills us. Always something.

Back-to-back holding penalties on guard Jason Spitz. Nice way to go into the half. Confidence is six points better than zero-zero.

Packers defense called for another penalty. This is just absurd. Denver will be leading by 9:45 Central.

Wow, a penalty on the Broncos. Somebody got paid. Two in a row. But the Broncos still get three. Should be 21-10.

Another penalty against the Packers. This is getting boring, and predictable. I do like the way the Packers have actually gained some yards on the ground tonight, as they should against the worst run defense in the NFL, but unfortunately they have not been able to turn it into more points. Even with all the good the Packers have done on offense, I almost get the feeling they blew their wad.

Favre fumbles one away. Shucks.

Holy cow! A win in Denver. Favre still have the gun. All is well again.

    Funny, but for guys who aren’t supposed to be very fast, Greg Jennings and James Jones looked a lot faster than Dre Bly and Champ Bailey.

    you really should have finished off the game! i was happy and i know everyone who looks at this is too!! great game and i am so glad that you were wrong Al!!! (no offense)

    That was a very scrappy game, but it goes in the W column. That ESPN crew was so far up Brett’s butt, I can’t imagine how he could still walk.

    The penalties . . . ach.

    It was nice to see some positive running plays, but we couldn’t do it when we needed it: goal line and at the end of the game.

    your right about wynn. i love how Grant run the ball

  • snyz

    ryan grant tripped over the 30 yard line a couple of times. at least he attempts to run with authority.

    11 for 11 starting the second half and were running the ball into our guards backs 2 of 3 downs. offense is being coached as if we have the 85 bears defense. what happense when were tied or down by 7 and turn aggressive??? 80 yard touchdowns! c’mon mccarthy, grow some nads.
