Packers @ Broncos – Monday Night Football – Second Half Open Thread

Posted Mon Oct 29th by

GB @ DEN
Green Bay Packers (5-1) @ Denver Broncos (3-3)

Talk about the second half here. Our defense needs to step it up. Our offense needs to find its steam again. Drive summaries here, notes in the comments.

Note – I guess I’m not the live blogging type.  The Broncos are now at 10-13 and need to stop the Packers again.  This has been the Tale of Two Quarters thus far, and the Broncos are looking somewhere in between the first and second.

This may be another close one, at least Elam is 1/1 thus far!

    Un

    believable.

    This one required drinking. I’ll have to get my thoughts together and post tomorrow, but I’m pretty upset that we can’t play four quarters of football.

    We’re now in some serious trouble. Unless we can actually prove to win on the road. Because we sure as hell can’t win at home. We’ve lost seven of 10 at home. That is just out-and-out disgraceful.

    And the rest of the season isn’t shaping up very well.

    Now 3-4 with this schedule:

    at Detroit: Not the shoo-in at the beginning of the year. Could go either way.
    at Kansas City: Our own personal temple of doom
    home with Tennessee: Toss-up. We are horrible at home
    at Chicago: Could go either way. Should be able to win, but who knows
    at Oakland: Slightly in our favor, but not the way we’ve been playing
    home with Kansas City: Should win here, but no gimme
    at Houston: Short week. Kubiak knows the ins and outs of the team
    at San Diego: Um, no
    home with Minnesota: Maybe the only definite win left on the schedule, but we could be 3-12 by then.

    I don’t want to believe that we’ll be 3-12 by Minnesota.

    This team is like many Broncos’ teams: They do things you just don’t believe. Both good and bad.

    I hadn’t picked them to beat Pittsburgh, but they did. We lost last night completely on our own mistakes.

    Detroit is going to be an interesting game. That high powered passing game is going to shred our defense unless we can put a lot of pressure on Kitna — the good news is that the Lions O-line is terrible (See: George Foster, who was bad enough we jettisoned him to replace him with the still unproven Erik Pears). But their defense will be one of the weakest defenses we’ve faced, so we might be able to put up numbers like we did against Pittsburgh again.

    I don’t know what to make of KC this year. THeir offense is a mess, but they’re really getting their defense together. I think the old rules on what AFC West opponents do to each other are pretty much gone this season. All the teams are different.

    Chicago will be tough; Griese will probably step up his game against us.

    And Minnesota isn’t a gimme. They have a helluva run defense. And they can get to the quarterback.

    A non-losing season from here would be a success from here. I’d like to think we could beat KC, Oakland and Houston. Detroit and Chicago could turn on a freak play – say like a fumble at the 1 yard line.

    This was a tough game – watching it on a delay over the internet there was only 2 minutes left on the telecast when the coin was tossed in overtime. So it was kind of depressing knowing that the first play was going all the way before the ball was even snapped.

    Detroit do like to pass the ball and last week I’d have said that would’ve played straight into our strengths. But two 80 yard touchdowns later, I’m not sure.
