I figure I'll have all the disappointment, frustration, and bitterness about yesterday's game outcome out of my system by about Wednesday.

Or maybe June.

I wonder what medical school Christian Watson’s father attended? Probably the LaVar Ball School of Worthless Medical Opinions.

I know you're supposed to say, "next man up". Do we have to change that to "next bus in line"?

If the O-line doesn't get up to speed the D will be the least of our worries. Notice how the D's just fine while the offense is operating on all cylinders? They have to step up and help the D out from now on.

We lost a tough game on the road to the team with the best record in the league, so obviously our coach stinks and so do most of our players.

Sheeesh.

Here's the story: We beat Chicago next week, and we're in first place with two games to go.

Here's the problem: Jenkins, Kraft, Watson,Wyatt, Tom and Parsons are six of our preferred 22 starters. That's 27% of our starters. I know some of you think that we should still be able to beat good teams, on the road, when we're missing that big of a chunk of our team, but I think that's unrealistic. Put those 6 guys in uniform and we're competitive with anybody, but without them, we're just a good, but not great, team.

IMO, we've just burned a year off the Window. We'll reload for next season and hope for some better luck.

Time for Brenton Cox, jr. to emerge!

GO BRENTON GO!!

Tough to watch the second half of that game. The air just kept leaking out of the balloon as the Broncos took over. Then, the season went pop when Micah Parsons went down. It will be interesting to see how the team responds over the next 3 games.

Hard not to be negative after such a loss so I will say that the team has been punching at or above its weight and that is a good thing. Just a few too many gaps to qualify as a heavyweight contender in my opinion. Whether it is trench play or softness in the secondary the cracks show up under pressure. Our Superbowl will be winning 2 of the 3 remaining games. Go Packers

Despite all the adversity, the Packers might have won this game if their butterfingered secondary could actually catch the ball. They had five legitimate interception opportunities and came up with none of them. Turnovers are a critical part of the game and the Packers had plenty of opportunities and failed to convert. You can't beat top teams doing that.

The injuries are devastating. Losing Parson for the season and Tom, Watson and Williams for indeterminate periods could well knock this team out of the playoffs. Hard to lose four of your top players and not suffer consequences. Truly awful game.

Green Bay fans were all worried that Hafley was going to get poached as a head coach after this year. I can't think of a better way for him to prove himself as bona fide NFL coach material than scheming up these next two games without your best defensive player.

Winners find a way to overcome tough circumstances and win games. Losers look for excuses and say, "If only..."
It is up to the coaches to keep this team focused, find ways to get more creative and overcome tough losses. Starting Saturday, we're going to see if the Packers are a team that overcomes, or gets overwhelmed.

Can Musgrave catch a pass, without falling down? It seems he gets zero YAC, on every pass he catches. Fitzpatrick had the drops, yesterday. One was when we needed to move the chains to extend the drive, late in the game. The ball hit him in the hands. We really miss Tucker Kraft, at TE. Whyle, going down to injury, doesn't help matters in the TE room, either.
We are also going to miss Parsons on the DL. Many are saying that when Parsons went down, our Super Bowl aspirations went out the window. It will be harder to find people to step up, along the DL, than it will be at other positions. Who has stepped up on the DL? Van Ness, in his first game back, played well. I love his speed when he gets into the opponents' backfields. Where was Gary? Brooks, Wooden? Enagbare may be our second best pass rusher in the DL room. I did like to see Edge Cooper blitzing the QB. I want more plays designed with Cooper along the LOS.
Next up are the Bears. That will be a huge game, for our back ups, to step up in. GO PACK, GO!!!

we have no valid punt or kick returner, and frauds as defensive backs, Nixon makes one lucky play a game to over shadow his awful play, activate Cox, use Golden more and beat the Bears.

One of the most exciting then disappointing collapses I have ever watched the Packers play. Not as bad as the Seattle NFCCG...but close in terms of "what next" and the feeling of inevitable defeat.

After the amazing 40 yard TD pass and catch by Love & JJ...feeling good! Now up 23-14 early in the 3rd and seemingly in control as the D forced a broncos 3 and out...Love throws deep the Watson and EVERYTHING changed.

After that INT and injury to Christian, the entire Packers Team played complementary football...as in pathetic play...unfocused & deflated.

After that INT Broncos completely dominated. Broncos: 7 plays for 71yards...TD. Packers punt. Broncos: 11 plays for 70 yards...TD. Packers get a FG. Broncos: 9 plays for 63 yards...TD. Packers throw an INT.

Last 6 minutes Broncos had 3 possessions of "drain clock", Packers had 2 possessions that gained a MINUS 4 yards. Just a complete collapse. No fight at all.

Game ball to Jacobs.
Lame Calls—some pathetic officiating in the 1st half—but I’m not blaming the officiating for the loss.
“Since’75” believes calling out egregious officiating is equivalent to being a Vikings/Bears fan. If you live in the world of sunshine and lollipops-good for you.
Here’s a side note ‘75.
I was a Fed agent for 40 yrs; 10 yrs in Denver. I personally assisted in blowing the lid off a bribery scandal of former Broncos owner Bowlen and a high-ranking superior in my agency—Bowlen shud have been prosecuted-wasn’t; and the superior shud have been fired—wasn’t.
The Broncos now have the richest owner in the league and a scandalous coach who previously offered “bribes-bounty’s” to injure opponents “put them out of the game.”
I could go on—NFL/Sports betting…
Forgive me if I’m sometimes…”skeptical”…
And ‘75—you told me to “grow-up” …I was in two shootings and probably shud have lost my life…some day I’ll “grow up”.
Go Packers!!!

Lame Call: Another ridiculous challenge flag thrown by LaFleur. This was possibly the most egregious one yet!

The best part of yesterday: The Lions lost!

Lame Balls: The refusal of some fans and FO to acknowledge the foundational weakness of the OL, DL (without Parsons, Wyatt) and CB-room. And, to refuse to objectively assess and discuss why that is so. This team relies on star players such as Kraft, Parsons, Watson, Jacobs w/o building in more depth. If one of them goes down, the team falls apart for 1-2 games. Who chose the TE's? That room is also bare--only one could block and catch? Weren't those
weaknesses noted before signing? It is another fantasy to crown a guy WR#1 when he has only returned for 4 games and has a tremendous injury history.

Musgrave, VanNess, Gary, Quay, Morgan, Banks, Hobbs, Belton have been very expensive and troubling.

Living in fantasy and spin is what keeps this team from taking the next step--gotta be honest

I have to agree with Kalani that this one felt earth shattering, due to the injuries. They had a lot of injuries in 2010, when they won the Super Bowl, but all of the injured players were good to average. None of them were great. In some cases their replacements were not downgrades. In fact, Desmond Bishop was a better player than Nick Barnett, who he replaced. They did not lose a player anywhere near the caliber of Micah Parsons, or Tucker Kraft for that matter. Also, losing Devonte Wyatt after giving up Kenny Clark in a trade is just plain evil.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out. The main reason they lost to the Broncos was because the OL was not able to protect Jordan Love in a road game against the best pass rush in the league, coupled with the fact that the Packer defense was not able to generate much of a pass rush---not even when Parsons was playing, and it was worse when he got knocked out of the game. It was a bad game for the CBs too, obviously.

I can see the offense possibly recovering from this, but it will be a tall order for the defense.

I tend to be a bit overly optimistic by nature and can think back to 2010 season when the Packers suffered many injuries and entered the playoffs as the 6th seed and wound up winning the Super Bowl against the Steelers.

I realize injuries are part of the game and this year is among the most devastating I can recall. Losing Kraft, Wyatt and Elton Jenkins were a bitter pill to swallow, but the loss of Parsons yesterday was like losing two top notch players in one instance. I always felt that we have two players which we must hope avoid season ending injuries if we are to win a Lombardi Trophy this year and they are Jordan Love and Micha Parsons. I certainly didn't like losing the game yesterday, but next weeks game is the most important one on the schedule. However, the loss of Parsons put a dark cloud over our asperations for a Super Bowl appearance this season. I feel badly for our team and also for that great competitor who will have to wait until next year to take to the gridiron.

Whatever else we want to say about football, the simple truth of the game is that it is won or lost at the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. The Packers without Parsons and Wyatt are weak on the D line. On the offensive side of the ball, they are just OK. That's not going to take Green Bay far in the playoffs, if they do get there. The front office needs to fix that in the off season, and can we please find at least ONE starting caliber CB?

If Tom can't play in the Bear's game-make no mistake the Bears know Jordan has no protection on his right side.
@ least they don't have a scary Pass rush. Perhaps Malik could come in to confuse.

Game ball ---- I know you'll hate me, but gotta give it to Bo Nix. He was the man in this game.
Lame call (with 20-20 hindsight) --- the call to go for the "Dagger" and throw bomb right after the 3-and-out with 23-14 lead. Can't leave that ball short. PLUS, it cost us Watson. Hope he's back for Chicago. MUST have his field stretching ability.
Gotta suck it up and win one for the Gipper.
The Szotman

Szot, I can’t disagree about Nix. I believe he’s similar to Caleb. But, he did throw what might’ve/Shoudve been 3 INTs.

A word about Jordan Love. He’s a good, professional NFL quarterback. But is it just me, or does he look oddly unathletic? When he scrambles, it always feels like he’s one step from falling over—a stork with a bad knee.

I watched Favre. He ran rarely, but when he did, he bulldozed linebackers and head-butted defensive linemen with a grin. He was all fire. I watched Rodgers—anger simmering, supreme confidence, outright arrogance: I can make any throw, against anyone, and I don’t care who you are.

Now look around the league. Josh Allen will run through you, around you, or away from you—and then make a throw on the move to a receiver you’ve never heard of. Mahomes is (or was, before yesterday’s injury) pure money. Even this young kid Drake Maye already looks like a young Brady—refuses to lose.

Love is good. He has a good arm. He’s not supremely accurate, but often accurate enough. He’s been in the league six years, yet people still talk about his “potential.” At six years in, we have a pretty clear picture of who he is as a quarterback.

@JL-just a thought-Favre had a difficult relationship with his father-many say it was abusive. He may have developed a thick skin and he lived on a farm which requires a lot of physical work.

Rodgers had an older brother (19 months) who was much bigger, taller and likely beat the shit out of him on the regular. He might also have been the better athlete
There are many stories of the Rodger's ' boys playing neighborhood sports, way into the night, in the summer, to the death-sometimes Aaron's dad had to separate him from is brother. His younger brother, Jordan said Aaron was 'always in the mix'

Jordan L. had 3 sisters and didn't get that everyday brother-on-brother or tough father (Jordan was close to his dad but he died when Jordan was 14)

I strongly believe a person in the NFL needs toughness that is developed in the home at an early age. I see it in Jacobs, Kraft, etc--

I see we're back to "Fire MLF" posts.
