I saw quite a few ducks from manning.
He may have been very good, but he had two weeks to rest up for last night. lets see what happens after a few weeks of ware and tear, getting back into the old grind or throwing and getting hit.I don't like manning but he was very good last night. Rodgers was garbage
Don't forget that over the last month, the Packers have been averaging 19.5 PPG. The Pats have been averaging 32.5 PPG.
green bay's defense stinks as well.Packers offense:
- Out of shape power back
1. High end WR2 forced into a WR1 role
2. JAG WR2
3. Injured/inconsistent young WR3
4. JAG TE
It's not 2006 or 2013 Pats without Gronk bad, but it's pretty bad. They would get smoked by us to the tune of 42-20 in a superbowl. If Bridgewater can wake up the Vikings have a chance to win the division.
GB offense:
PPG: 10th
YPG: 28th
They kinda suck. What do you know, losing an elite weapon ruined their offense. People thought Rodgers would be unphased by this, nope.

And these numbers are misleading because they had two 30 plus point games early in the season against bad teams and have struggled a bit on offense since.

I was kind of shocked how badly the Packer offense played. Denver had a great game plan, but I was shock that GB didn't seem to. have a plan B. How can you come out of a bye week and looks so uninspired and unprepared.
Belichick needs a black hoodie for that one.
Some comments on the comments
1. In a month who knows what this game will look like. Every year injuries become more and more of a factor in who wins or loses. Trying to figure out how we will do against each other is hard, because we don't know who will be available 4 weeks from now.

3. Denver successfully did to GB what they will likely do to the Pats. That is rush with 4 and tightly cover all the short areas (5-8yds downfield) tightly in combinations of man and zones. Then you assume you can create enough pressure to make the QB throw the ball quickly into areas where you have a lot of people.
To do that successfully you have to have a great pass rush, and excellent man coverage people. The Broncos have both.
4. However they are going to run out of their great coverage guys when the Pats come to town. If everyone is healthy we have too many targets for them to cover. GB had no big TE threat, the Pats have 2, including the GOAT. Talib is probably as good as it gets if you need to cover AJ Green, or Julio Jones, but its the Edelman's and Amendola's of the world that give him trouble. Finally there is Brady. His ability to find the right match up, plus his accuracy and patience will make sure what happened to the Packers doesn't happen to us.
5. Denver is a tough place to play. Not only do you have to deal with the crowd, you have to deal with the altitude. Making those subtle adjustments on the LOS like we saw Brady do when he adjusted DA's and Gronk's position, will be much harder, if not impossible to do there. That means you have to simplify your offense a bit, and run a play you would normally adjust out of. It's a distinct disadvantage. One we overcame quite will in Buffalo. So we shall see.
6. As to Peyton, any success the Broncos have had up to last night was DESPITE him. There is no other way to sugar coat it. I think Rob's contention that bye week helped his arm strengh has some merit, but in the end, the BEST I see us having to deal with in Denver is an "adequate" QB, not a great one.
7. But for now I worry about the OL, and what would happen if Ryan or Butler went down, and how to win the next game, get better, and have everyone come out healthy, NOT the Denver Broncos, as much fun as it has been.
