Rodgers and the Pack aren't nearly as good at adjusting as the Pats. Pats will figure out how to score against this D. Not sure the Pack will
They don't have the personnel the Pats do either. Gronk was built to tear this D apart, unless maybe they actually decide to put Talib on him like they should.

The Pack are going to be seriously and more acutely feeling the lack of Nelson after this game. Put Harris on Cobb and Rodgers is forced to dance around behind an iffy O line and in search of finding a target amongst bunch of green receivers and Jones. 
 
Still think they put up more points than Peyton.

How you gonna let Denver run the ball and make big gains on short passes? Make Manning throw downfield.

where I was last at
Denver D had an impressive 1st qtr against a good offense. To pretend otherwise is whistling past the graveyard.  I wonder if play action with Lacey would free up the receivers.

Snow Day commercial still pretty cool.
I love it, but I always get nervous when Gronk has his head out the window and there's that sharp pointy piece of "glass" right next to his neck.

i think it's more likely that they had 2 weeks to get peyton as healthy as he ever gets, they put together a good game plan tailored to this defense, and the green bay D has been overrated based on playing from ahead all season.

The Broncos have played well for sure but this has nothing to to with a Ring of Honor ceremony.

Bowden has nothing to do with it. That's like saying the Pats won Thurs night because of McGinest.

Yeah--I don't think the Broncos on the field know a hell of a lot about Bowlen. It's more them coming off a bye week and Peyton's arm feeling good.
 
Gotta see if it lasts.

It didn't end up translating into points, but San Diego had about 1,000 yards on the GB defense two weeks ago. They aren't that good.

it's a pretty good approach for denver at this point... manning probably can't throw that deep ball all game but have him chuck it as much as possible early on and try to get ahead.

very understandable but  a lot of ex-broncos form the last 25 seasons are here  McGinest  is a HOF  no doubt but emoiton playes a big part in some football games + 75% of the media picking aga denver did not heip gb
