Familiar arena for Vic Fangio, who's still looking for his first HC win.

- They still have Chubb and Von Miller at the edge. Not as dominant as before, but still not to be underestimated.
- Flacco is (currently) better than Cousins, but not by much. But in past game, he has played to his limited strengths. We should be able to nad a INT or two still.
- RBs Lindsay/Freeman and WRs Sutton/Sanders are a functional and dynamic duo and should be good match for our D.

I don't think their D is anything close to stopping us....assuming we get our own O settled.

3-0 is a realistic possibility.

Broncos Injury:

http://1043thefan.com/2083453/broncos-injury-report-callahan-and-davis-remain-on-the-sidelines/

Todd Davis missed a second-straight game as he returns from a calf injury suffered on the first day of training camp. After returning to practice last week on a limited basis, there’s hope that the inside linebacker will be able to play against the Packers on Sunday.

The same goal is in place for Bryce Callahan, as the cornerback has yet to play a game in a Broncos uniform. After injuring his foot in the team’s preseason practice at Enpower Field, the free-agent acquisition has been on the shelf every time his teammates have taken the field.

Ja’Wuan James, Andy Janovich and Joseph Jones also missed the game against the Bears due to injury. James being on the sidelines is the biggest loss for Denver, as it limits their options along the offensive line. Had he been playing right tackle against Chicago, the Broncos could’ve replaced Garett Bolles at left tackle with Elijah Wilkinson. With Wilkinson in for James, however, Denver was forced to left Bolles struggle with one holding penalty after another.

I'm holding out my prediction until I find out what the Packers get in return for the 10 guys we are trading.

He’s setting his expectations rock bottom so his inner feelings don’t get hurt. Kinda crafty fan if you think about it

YOU can't write sHLt like this here.

If I wrote this and was in doubt that's the Packers would lose,
I would be labeled as a poor fan and be told to go elsewhere.......:mad:

My biggest concern in this game is how bad Chub beats up Rogers. They are also going to be really angry about how they lost this week, which could swing things a bit. I think we will be able to run on them and if Oakland can torch that secondary, we certainly can. Flacco gonna Flacco and make an interesting and futile comeback late, when our offense goes to sleep again. Barring some random critical injury, we should get a decent but not dominating win.

The Broncos defense is still capable, but did not look nearly as fierce on the road in week one.

Their offense has moved the ball, but they have struggled to convert on 3rd down and especially in the red zone. Much of their ball movement was negated by holding penalties, as Bolles couldn't handle the Bears' pass rushers.

Their defense really stifled the Bears, but Chicago's offense has been rather putrid. The Raiders did whatever they wanted for large swathes of that game.

I would think that the Packers would be able to limit their offense in much the same way as previous opponents have, especially in Lambeau.

To add to the above, Ben Fennell just pointed out some Packers' stats on 3D and in the RZ:

3D conversion: 25% (6th)
3D completions: 47.8% (3rd)
3D QB Rating: 44.5 (5th)
2 INT and 2 Sacks on 3D

Opposing QB's are 0/6 with two interceptions in the redzone, for a QB rating of 0.0.

So basically the Broncos' offensive struggles dovetail with the Packers' defensive strengths through two games. On the money downs and in the red zone, their O comes up small and our D has been coming up big.

Hopefully this spells another week where the defense carries the day while the offense continues to develop while facing another strong defensive opponent.

You're a poor fan Mike. Go elsewhere;).

See, you don't even have to post sHLt like that to get our attention.

I think you all got it wrong, that was said by Pee Wee Herman as he left the movie theater.
