7:20 P.M. MDT: Broncos begin the second quarter at the Green Bay 1 after Andre Hall closed the first period with a 6-yard bull-rush in which he carried some Green Bay defenders.
7:21 P.M. MDT: Disaster strikes as Cutler doesn’t get a handle on the snap … Nick Barnett recovers … Cutler pulled back and didn’t have a grip on the football … Remember, this is Chris Myers’ second game starting at center in place of Tom Nalen. A horrible missed opportunity for the Broncos; Packers take over at their 1.
7:23 P.M. MDT: South stands on their feet … DeShawn Wynn gets nothing as he slams into the left side of the line of scrimmage.
7:24 P.M. MDT: Pack out of trouble as Favre finds Donald Lee … Tony Kornheiser describes the fumble at the goal line as “a microcosm of their season.”
7:25 P.M. MDT: Alvin McKinley charged for holding … They’re just getting around to giving the Packers’ starting offense? Well, this is only their seventh play of the game.
7:27 P.M. MDT: ESPN’s Michele Tafoya reports that John Lynch is being examined on the sideline; the team trainers are looking at his hand and neck, she says.
7:28 P.M. MDT: Pack offense percolating now; another pass to Donald Lee has the Packers at the Denver 41.
7:29 P.M. MDT: Domonique Foxworth at safety and he is playing way, way deep, with Nick Ferguson cheating to the line of scrimmage on first-and-10 from the 41 … Press-box announcement: Lynch is probable to return with a pinched nerve … As that announcement is made, Ryan Grant slams his way up the right side through Broncos defenders for 24 yards to the Denver 17.
7:30 P.M. MDT: Antwon Burton is down on the field … Packers running back DeShawn Wynn is questionable to return with a shoulder injury … Broncos called for 12 men on the field; Packers now have first-and-5 at the Denver 12 … Burton walks off the field slowly but under his own power.
7:32 P.M. MDT: McRib is back.
7:33 P.M. MDT: Ryan Grant slams through a hole up the right side for six yards … Packers in first-and-goal.
7:35 P.M. MDT: Burton will return; he sprained his right ankle … Packers have third-and-goal at the 4 … empty backfield … four wide receivers, one tight end … Broncos call timeout; according to Ron Jaworski — and my admittedly quick count — they had 12 men on the field.
7:38 P.M. MDT: Inside handoff to Grant … great tackle by D.J. Williams to hold him up at the 1-yard-line … Green Bay brings the field-goal team out here … watch the fake, perhaps?
7:39 P.M. MDT: No fake … Mason Crosby drills the short field goal … A 98-yard Packers drive, but the Broncos hold them at the end.
7:42 P.M. MDT: Cutler had Daniel Graham on second-and-6 from the Denver 24, but he one-hopped the pass … third-and-6, and Cutler goes across the middle, but the pass is incomplete; Brandon Marshall and Glenn Martinez were in the area.
7:44 P.M. MDT: Charles Woodson tackled by Steve Cargile after a three-yard return of a 38-yard punt … a net of 35 yards as the Packers take over at their 41.
7:45 P.M. MDT: Inside handoff to Grant by the Favre … an interesting-looking play, but effective for nine yards … third-and-1 at midfield … Nate Webster slams Grant to the ground, but not until after he’d gained four yards.
7:47 P.M. MDT Foxworth still patrolling deep at safety as Lynch remains sidelined.
7:48 P.M. MDT: Burton back in the game … Packers remain ground-bound as they advance to the Denver 36.
7:49 P.M. MDT: Near-interception by Champ Bailey in the right flat … Now third-and-10 for the Packers at the Denver 36 … Packers clearly in the range of cannon-legged kicker Mason Crosby.
7:49 P.M. MDT: But that doesn’t matter right now, because Dre’ Bly slips as he tries to get position to tackle Greg Jennings on the flanker screen. Twenty yards later, the Packers are at the Denver 16 at the two-minute warning.
7:53 P.M. MDT: Packers now at the 4-yard-line after a screen pass to Vernand Morency and a face-mask infraction against Nick Ferguson … 1:52 left … Broncos have two of their three timeouts remaining, FYI … Grant takes a handoff to the right side and hits the ground just inches from the goal line.
7:54 P.M. MDT: Broncos take timeout with 1:39 left in the half as the ball sits roughly four inches from paydirt.
7:55 P.M. MDT: False start, Packers … Tony Moll, who was eligible, lifted up on the play … Grant runs for two yards on the ensuing play … Denver takes its third timeout with 1:33 left in the half … Pack will have third-and-goal at the 3.
7:58 P.M. MDT: Third-and-goal at the 8 after a false-start penalty … Favre’s pass skips beyond Donald Driver and is incomplete … Denver’s defense now has two goal-line stops … Fellow Web-ster Kyle Sonneman suggests the Packers might fake here, but Crosby drills the 26-yarder … 86 seconds left in the half. Two goal-line stands from the defense are keeping the Broncos in it.
8:02 P.M. MDT: Broncos take over at the 20 but go backwards quickly after Aaron Kampman sacks Cutler for a 10-yard loss … clock ticking down as the Broncos huddle up … Broncos keep it on the ground, giving it to Selvin Young, who picks up four yards … Green Bay takes its first of three timeouts with 33 seconds left in the half.
8:04 P.M. MDT: Three-and-out for Denver … danergous time now for the Broncos, even though an outstanding punt by Todd Sauerbrun and good coverage — total net on the play was 49 yards — helped. The Pack has two timeouts and a kicker who could hit it from 67 or 68 yards here.
8:05 P.M. MDT: Holding on the Packers on first-and-10 from their 37. That will help Denver’s cause. Just 11 seconds left in the half now … Morency runs for eight through the defense, but Jason Spitz takes his second holding penalty in as many snaps … Green Bay now in first-and-30 … and they take a knee. Halftime.

pack has rushed for one yard, backed up on the one yard line and we can’t get pressure on the QB? This is sad.
it really is getting pathetic listening to all the “analysis” of this game. You would think that Denver weren’t playing!! its the” favre love in”
it’s on nbc’s fall line up everybody loves favree!
of course it would not hurt if the defense was not out padding his stats for him . . .
THis defense looks completely different with Lynch on the sideline….UGH!!

Denver’s play is making it seem almost like they are not playing, horrid rushing defense, bailey getting burnt, offense turning it over at the 1. Great job broncos, way to pull through the injuries, like I said before, a loss tonight and this season is in the bags if you ask me, too many injuries to too many important positions.
I guess Homer Simpson is the defensive coach for the Broncos . . .
D’oh!
Now we get an interview with the QB’s wife!!! Please this really is getting even worse
I wonder who loves Bret more, his wife or the jokers she’s in the booth with.
What Broncos must start doing NOW is passing deeper to open up the middle for the rush. Running the ball sucks the strength of this team is Cutler’s arm not rushing with a CFA running back. Throw the rock please!
Offensive coordinators all over the league are starting to call bates “Santa”
We can’t even stop Green Bay’s running attack.. how can we stop anyone else’s with this sort of play, I’m still amazingly puzzled as to how Moss was benched and I’m worried about champ’s quad with how he got burnt early on. And Dre Bly cant stop screens.
Surprise, Surprise! Another 3rd down conversion.
i have the game on mute cause i can’t take the love fest anymore
this may be worse than the chargers game. I mean they havent even tried to run during the season and they are running threw our terrible D. Baily and Bly have been beat bad and Marshal is nowhere to be seen. This has been just an awful year and looks like it will only get worse.
thank you Brett. You are our best defense on that drive.
Worse than the Chargers game? The Broncos have already scored more points and the defense, while it has allowed three long drives — one of which was fairly quick — has fortified itself in the red zone. It’s not going the way the Broncos want, but let’s not get carried away here.
the pack has no b*lls or they would have gone for it on both. The way our D is playing they gave away 8 points.
Cutler time????? 1:26 to either take the lead, or hopefully gain 3 more
Andrew, the chargers have LT. Here, some unknown clown is about to get his 100+ yard debut at Mile High, and the most likely thing to prevent him from getting more is the lack of oxygen.
this is a much different team. i know that the chargers lost to the packers, but that was a fluke. I would love to see any kid of ajustments on o and d. I really like the way they awnsered the 98 yard drive follow by a get 2 minute warring.
just go into the locker room. This is rediculous. Can’t even complete a simple pass. They are mentally defeated already. I’m just disgusted. No Heart.
man that rice pick up sure has worked out.
Shanahan & Staff have no clue what to do: Passing 14 plays 112 yds TD. Rushing 14 plays 33 yds. Keep rushing on 1st & 2nd and lose for sure. Lets hope Broncos will open up by throwing first and not give up even if its incomplete, keeping passing deeper please during second half.
I’m going to join in the bandwagon here and wonder why Moss was benched. We use a 1st rnder on him and then bench him for a has been? WTF?
Hope to see some major adjustments at the half. Defense must stop the packers on their first 3 possesions. The offense must score some points on their first 2 possesions. If the D continues to play the way they are and the offense can’t produce any sustained, point scoring drives, then this game will get uglier. Does anyone know if Lynch will be back?
Rice was a horrible deal. There is no return on there investment. Play the young guys. Just like changing Plummer for Cutler. No sacks for Dumerville tonight either.
I heard the only reason John Lynch doesn’t eat nails for his entire breakfast is by the time he’s to the bottom of the bowl, the acid he’s eating them with has dissolved them so he just drinks the acid with the dissolved nails in it through a glass straw, and then eats the glass straw and steel bowl.
He’ll be back.
Good defensive series.
I won’t lie, Selvin’s looking reeaally good if you ask me.
F@*k Tony Korncombover. Can’t stand him
Also, Jay Cutler’s doing a much better job of holding onto the ball in sack-situations… sacks suck, but not near as much as interceptions.
Agreed BlueAndOrangeHawkeye………………penalties killing the flow of this game.
