8:20 P.M. MDT: Fairly crucial 30 minutes forthcoming here for the Broncos. Their defense needs to keep the Packers from mounting clock-gobbling drives; their offense needs to return to its first-quarter form. In the first quarter, Denver ran 24 plays to Green Bay’s four; in the second Green Bay ran 27 plays to Denver’s seven.
8:23 P.M. MDT: Alvin McKinley’s second holding penalty of the night costs the Broncos a three-and-out stop. Green Bay moves to its 33.
8:24 P.M: MDT: A 16-yard pass from Favre to James Jones has the Packers at the Denver 49 … Crowd is very tepid; not much noise.
8:26 P.M. MDT: Pack going back(wards) … now at the Denver 40 … third-and-19 … Crowd making some noise again … screen pass to Vernand Morency gets about two yards, maybe three. Green Bay will punt. Broncos ‘D’ got the stop it needed.
8:30 P.M. MDT: A promising drive so far … A pass to Brandon Marshall, a Selvin Young carry and an illegal-contact infraction on Al Harris has Denver at the Green Bay 43.
8:32 P.M. MDT: Cecil Sapp gets the ball for the first time on a 4-yard reception … Broncos have third-and-3 at the Green Bay 36, in the heart of No Man’s Land (perhaps too far to kick, but too short to punt) … Cutler keeps it himself for seven yards to the 29.
8:34 P.M. MDT: A screen play to Young loses six yards as the Packers have the play disgnosed perfectly, with Johnny Jolly shoving aside Chris Kuper. Young had no chance … Third-and-15, and Cutler finds Glenn Martinez, who’s growing into a pretty nice clutch receiver. He picks up 18 yards and the Broncos are in the red zone for the third time tonight.
8:35 P.M. MDT: But the Broncos exit the red zone after a holding penalty against Erik Pears, which nullifies a short pass to Andre Hall that would have taken Denver inside the 10.
8:36 P.M. MDT: Young picks up seven to the right side, but Martinez is called for holding … Some boos fly as the Broncos are now back at the Green Bay 31. Broncos now have first-and-25.
8:40 P.M. MDT: A short pass to Selvin Young allows the Broncos to regain some traction, but they are in third-and-14 at the 20 … Cutler in the shotgun … Packers fans making some noise … Cutler in a boatload of trouble and he is sacked by Aaron Kampman. Packers brought four men on the rush.
8:41 P.M. MDT: Jason Elam’s 45-yard attempt is … good. Broncos have 10 points from three red-zone forays; they trail 13-10 with 3:00 left in the quarter.
8:46 P.M. MDT: Packers will start at their 10-yard-line to begin this drive … Crowd getting into it again.
8:47 P.M. MDT: Packers have a first down in spite of Domonique Foxworth’s best efforts to sling Greg Jennings backwards.
8:49 P.M. MDT: Favre working the short middle on this drive … Packers now at their 31 … Last play of the quarter sees him go outside to Jennings up to the 45.

Everyone is hurt on this team. 2 holdong class on the d linemen. wow we are worst than i thought. I guess our pass d isnt that much better than the run d.
big drive for offense coming up here
we need points, even if it is a FG, we need something
Let’s wait for our offense to play good
Good defensive series.
Lets see how the offensive adjustments worked. The coverage was good on that series, Favre had to check down on the plays he wasn’t sacked on.
The play action seems to be real effective tonight, at least better than I can remember in a long time. If we can get a lead, Favre will start to make mistakes and Denver will win.
Well, at least Cutler wants to win. Let’s hope he can get the rest of the team to play like that.
Andrew, some news about Lynch?
My Gosh, What the F%*k, Over? What in the world. This is the most ugliest offensive series.
O-line looks bad tonight. I know GB’s D-line is good, but they have to adjust, keep the pocket bigger than it is right now.
the three stooges could not have engineered a better drive
Lucky to get 3, but I’ll take it. This helps cut into the lead. Defense needs to make another stand here. Hopefully offense can pull it together and get it into the end zone.
13-10, alright, we need some more good D here
we have got to get a TO. The oline is struggling, but cutler has to be smarter in the pocket.
you know what I miss? Bailey getting an interception in just about every game, like last season.
We need a big defensive stop here, 3 and out……hopefully
What is wrong with our d. 12 men on the field twice and 10 men on the field once, know we have to run a d-lineman on the field. I am reall dissapointed in our coaching. We also always start out slow.
we should have started jarvis moss instead of old stale rice, First round pick deactivated, why????
we just cant get pressure on the qb and when we do they just run it right up the middle on us
uh….he is a rookie.
Maybe not technically, but game wise.
OK, here’s our chance to tie or take the lead. Have to do it 10 yds. at a time. We need a big boost right here
That was a crappy, crappy, call. My goodness….
Oh, That was smart. Lets try something stupid, to get ahead. Were lucky to have only lost 3 yds. on that dumb ass play. Stick to the basics. We need more play action, thats where we are successful.
We all knew it had to end like this
GO BRONCOS!!!!!!!!!!
