Why does third year running back Eddie Lacy look like 10th year running back, Jerome Bettis?  Jesus, the guy looks like he's putting on 5 pounds between each game this year.  It's about time someone sat him down with a nutritionist.

So after seeing Lacy do squat and run into a brick wall on 2nd and Short the Pack say yeah let's try that again instead of letting Rodgers throw a short pass to move the chains. 
 
Pretty dumb.

Green Bay's line does not look good at all.
Lacy had a few good runs early, but those last two there was nowhere to go.

rogers seemed to check into it after ward shifted over.
 
what's weird is they didn't run at the weak side of the box that ward had just vacated.

Bettis at least ran like a fat guy, Lacy is both fat and hates/can't shed contact

Pretty confident if the Broncos are net positive on turnovers from here on out they win by 10+. Just a no show from GB, it happens.

Hey guys, Peyton Manning is back.  Pay no attention to the first six games of the season when he sucked.  He's fine now, Chris and Al told me.

Denver doing GB a favor by running the ball there and attempting a field goal.  The Packers have not shown any ability to stop the Denver short passing game.  Gotta feel like Denver had a chance to put the game away right there, and thankfully, they didn't take it.
 
They probably will on the next possession, but at least that a few more minutes away.

One defense of Lacy.
He's had an injured ankle that supposedly wasn't 100% until this week.
 
Did he try to eat his way back to health?

Nice stop.  
 
 
Did Soxhop mute the broadcast?  I'm on the edge of my seat waiting to find out.
He's so close, don't push him over the edge man.

I think Rodgers needs to look to do a lot of tucking and running it.  It's pretty much the one advantage they may have over the Denver defense on a man to man level.

Collinsworth not sure why Rodgers opted not to throw across his body into the middle of the field while scrambling to the right.

Rodgers also hasn't been as great as he was in the first few games of the season.
