Obviously no use in sugarcoating it, an absolutely disastrous day in Denver. Particularly the injuries to Parsons, Watson, Tom and others. Defense furthermore did not play great and the cornerbacks in particularly got worked by Denver WRs.

However, the night is darkest before the dawn. The team must soldier on. Focus on the players we have and go out against Chicago with a positive mentality. We CAN win the NFC North and we CAN be successful in the playoffs. I trust our QB and I trust MLF. Go Pack Go.

No mystery. Denver has a pass defense

Tough loss. The physical nature of the game hurt the Packers and the commentators didn't say much about one of the key losses: Zach Tom. Kinnard proved to be wholly inadequate to block anyone. Love was ducking from the rush on the right side. Assuming Tom is out next Sunday there will need to be some hard thinking about who is going to play right tackle. The Bears defense will eat Kinnard alive. Notice Morgan was only in for a few plays?

We'll also see , assuming Parsons is out for awhile, if Van Ness can live up to his draft position.

I'm sorry but the Packers just aren't there yet...and it leaves me wondering why? Seems like the team is great at shooting themselves in the foot. 4 Field goals shows the weaknesses. Denver's receivers caught everything. Packers missed interception after interception. One fumble was all the team could generate. Is not worth watching...disappointment after disappointment.

Doesn’t this seem predictable to us Packer fans?
Our injury history and losing key players at critical moments. A shaky QB (Nix) having his best game; sure INTs bouncing off our hands.
It makes much worse for me due to my absolute hate for the Broncos.
My food doesn’t taste well tonight.
Go Packers!!!

Denvers DB's can actually catch an INT and that alone was a huge part of this loss.I counted 3-4 sure INT's dropped by our DB's. Good teams do not do this. Parsons leg collapsed sideways...minimum knee sprain...looked worse. RT went down with a knee also. # 9 went down cause he fell....With a team so needy for speed down field GB needs to rely on 3 players and not only 1....There are others as fast or faster but not used the same way??? We are out 2-1st round picks and need 2 starting DB's and a couple DL...an actual #1 and 2 WR....better draft your butt off Gute and pay some coin if you can. Kraft going down is huge also. I don't like this long bomb low percentage shots when medium stuff was working all day and not running the ball enough. Red zone was poor leaving a lot of points off the board.

Packers played arguably the best team in the league on the road and lost by 8...the bigger losses are the injuries. This is now the 2024 defense. Cox should be coming off IR, but nobody is Parsons. This is where Hafley needs to show his stuff.

Without Tom, the Broncos eventually overran the Packers' OL. Nice to see Golden involved, even though it was only after Watson's injury. If Watson's out multiple weeks, it's time for 0. Reed fell awkwardly late and didn't return. Those were the real costs of this game. This wasn't a must-win, but it would've been a good one to have.

Jacobs playing on a leg and a half was fun to watch.

Chicago will be ready next week, but Chicago is no Denver.
What can the Packers bring?

Ouch. Woe is us.

Injuries and penalties. Dropped INTs. Head-scratching decisions.

Denver has a nice team. Nix is a solid QB. Still, I hate that franchise and Sean Payton.

Win in Chicago. That's all that matters right now even if Love is terrible, MLF is a fatuous dope, Hafley is a pinhead, Gute is too stupid to be running around loose, Observant Ed Policy should fire everyone, and all staff at 1265 attend the same church and won't make any changes until 2030.

Just. Win. On. Saturday.

Well kids, that was brutal. Game started well then went down the shitter. Loss of Parsoms is huge. Loss of Watson is huge. We need to wait and see there, same with Zack Tom. This is a very banged up team, no doubt. Now when it's darkest, we must see who will step up to lead. I would like to shout out to Edgerriun Cooper for giving us two chances late to get the ball back, making back to back 4th down stops. Golden had a pretty good game. Josh Jacobs giving his all while hurt. we can still Win the division and make the playoffs. The next men need to stand up and step up. Go Pack Go!

Since we were blacked out here on the west coast except for the last few minutes of the game after the Seahawk game, I only got to see the last couple of offensive drives. For the life of me, I couldn't understand why MLF didn't have Love roll out or use quick slants or some other shorter passes. Time after time, Love had to drop back in the pocket that was collapsing around him as he waited for receivers to get open down field. It is so frustrating to see. Give the QB a chance to make some plays!

"I cant name a worst day for the Packers.....ever.....brutal" - Kozmo

Ever?.....I'll trust you weren't a Packer fan, watching the Packers against Seattle in the NFCCG of the 2014 season.

Love is good but doesn’t come through at crunch time. He was outplayed by Nix and MLF was out coached by Payton. Our injury situation doesn’t look good, hoping for the best.

Besides, and including the injuries...

The Packers lost this game at the LOS in the 2nd half.
They couldn't deal with the Bronco's front line.
That's the biggest reason they lost, imo.
**********
I should add.....
Dan Campbell.....Oops...i mean, Sean Peyton, tried giving us chances to win this game on two unsuccessful 4th down attempts.

Packers secondary exposed as well as Jordan love when he's under pressure. Whole team fell on its face in the second half.... if you have any weaknesses whatsoever Sean Payton will exploit them to their fullest and he did just that.
Very disappointing.

lose next Saturday seasons over...this team aint going anywhere anyway, but here's the solution for next year, Trade Love to Arizona or Tennessee deal for Joe Burrow, fire MLF and go hire Jessi Minter....there ya go...so simple .....

Imagine if Nate Hobbs was good enough to start over either Valentine or Nixon.
No first round picks. Big money tied up in unproductive players.. Jenkins, Gary Hobbs .. early draft picks that obviously are disappointing, Van Ness, Walker, Musgrave.
And a HC & GM combo that hasn’t produced a real threat in years. They don’t have contract extensions. 🤔

Parsons is most likely gone for the season.

Rashan Gary is paid richly to make a difference.

Well....start making a f......g difference.
I'm at the end of the line with this *#$#*@^ pretender.
*****
I predict Gary gets a sack next Sat. Night.
It will be his first one in 8 games.

Apparently Watson has a chest injury, the way he landed i was thinking a broken collarbone.

They took him to the hospital, so other than that....idk.

The only book or plan this team has read or writes weekly, A Tale of Two Halves.

Last week's win could easily have been a loss, and I didn't post all week as my head wouldn't stop shaking back and forth like the halves of this team. My head is still doing so, but now with greater emphasis. Love is good when all is right, but it doesn't take much to get his other side in the game. MLF is gonna MLF, period.

The injuries suck, but this team needs a 'PLAY 60" course regardless of who is or isn't playing.
A loss in Chicago next week puts the Pack out of the 7 seeds, and a game against a really desperate Raven squad could be the shovel that pats down the dirt on the grave for this season.

It's a good thing Detroit lost.

There's always next year, and the next, and the next.

Feel free to shoot the messenger of reality, as has been the norm for a long time.

P.S.
They have no killer instinct, but rely mostly on the opponent to fail.

GO PACK GO....where ever that ends up being.

Packers seem to over-rely on a handful of players-

The Packers were not able to run with the Big Dogs today. Penalties, dropped passes, dropped picks, poor tackling and devastating injuries undid the Packers in this game, particularly in the second half. Losing Tom, Watson, Parsons and maybe Reed to injuries took the steam out of the Packers offense and defense.

The Packers CBs were badly exposed, especially Nixon.

The questions now are all around the seriousness of the respective injuries to Tom, Watson, Reed and Parsons. Can the Packers recover and respond in time for the Bears game on Saturday and on the road?

This game turned into an ugly loss and in the worse possible way given the injuires suffered to four key players. Can MLF pull this team together and overcome this level of adversity? We'll see. GPG! Thanks, Since '61

Disappointing for sure re: the injuries. For me, this game kind of exposed Matt Lefluer’s flaws as a coach. Very stale play calling the 2nd half. This guy insists on wasting time outs (the one before Denver’s first 4th and 1???, that terrible challenge). Penalties keep coming, very undisciplined team all around. Not really sure what Rich Bascia teaches this team anymore. He has outlasted his reputation by a long shot. Anyways, God bless Watson, Parsons, and Tom. Hope they get well soon.

Looks like the Pack’s season is toast with loss and the injury to three more key players. It was an interesting season up until now. The next two weeks should seal the coffin. The ball is in Ed Policy’s court now. Some tough sleddin’ ahead.

I don't think it has been fair of the team to call Valentine & Nixon CB1's. They just are not on the level of authentic CB1's. The OLine is average except Tom-why is that? There have been expensive whiffs on important positions on the OL, DL and others-

We should all applaud the pack. They did have the third toughest schedule this year on paper. Lucky some of those grinder teams weren't very good when we played them so our record is pretty good considering their is nothing special about this team.
Today we played maybe the best team in football and they showed us how far away we really are from competing. Pass d non existent, tackling so so and passing game on and off.
Hey you enjoyed a good year so far but it's going now where the rest of the season.

Jordo, right about the time you are beginning to win me over.... again. Then we go to Denver for a clutch game and you go 24 of 40? 1Td, 2 interceptions with a passer rating of 68?

I'm not laying this loss totally at your feet but.... In a clutch game those of us wanting to get on your bandwagon really began to think, maybe you are more than just an average NFL quarterback, maybe you are heading for the top tier in the league. In clutch games the cream rises to the top. Unfortunately that was not the case today average performance does not work in highly important games such as this one. We Packer fans have to swallow hard with the realization that average players without a lot of luck, which you Mr Love have had more than your share don't get very far when thinking of extended seasons into the playoffs.

Year 6 now as a veteran and we will cheer you on when you do well even with the bad taste in our mouths now with the irrevocable realization we have an inconsistent average QB albeit perhaps near the top of the average class it's hard to be confident of the next clutch game.

Enjoy that contract, for now, along with your white knights that will defend you while denying after 6 years we should expect more than average. As for me, it will take a hell of a lot to get one of my feet back up on your band wagon.

If you do nothing more than average with good games and bad ones mixed in the rest of your time in Green Bay PLEASE bring your best games and beat the Bears when given the opportunity.

My apologies J.L. White Knights....

GPG

Jordan has a leaky O-Line. Jordan has LT Rasheed Walker. Aaron had LT David Bahktiari and other stellar OLmen It's not fair to judge Jordan under these circumstances. Denver also has a real Pass Rush and our OL is average and below average with Tom out.

DBs suck . Where’s LaDarious Gunter when you need him ?

I got tired of hearing the announcers say again and again and again that these two teams may face each oither in the SB. Super Bowl, did they say Super Bowl? Did they forget about a half dozen other teams as good or better than the Packers? They lose their best defender and best receiver and they'll be in the SB? The safeties and corners are as dumb as tree stumps and can't contol their undisciplined temper resulting in penalty after penalty. And yes, the Packers' season is over. They are a good team, not a great team, not a SB team, not even close.

The injuries suck. But we were winning games without Watson before. I mean hopefully he’s good. But Reed coming back is huge, Golden stepping up in huge and Musgrave/Fitzpatrick are serviceable. Our corners are a weekness….but most of us knew that. Jacobs and Wilson can take over a game of the pound the rock. Not all hope is lost . Enegbare isn’t playing bad either.

More stupid hero ball when it is absolutely unnecessary. Dumb decision completely changed the game and now the season.
