First impressions look good. Rodgers shines, Double-D gets the TD. So far so good.
Second impressions so-so. Defense did hold them to three, but did give up two 22-yard plays.
Packers 7, Broncos 3.
The Packers’ defense all of a sudden looks horrible. The Broncos started at the one and are at midfield now. Ugly. But 50 yards to go.
This is a horrible drive for the Packers’ defense. Nick Collins and Atari Bigby are out with injuries, Charles Woodson left with an injury but did return. But this is the Packers’ worst nightmare. Confidence is not high.
Ninety-nine yards on the Packers’ defense? And quarterback is what we are worried about? That was a punch in the mouth by Broncos to the Packers’ defense. Wow. That was very discouraging.
Does depth at cornerback worry you at all?
All in all, a great bounce back game for Aaron Rodgers. 16-of-19 for 178 yards and touchdown is pretty good.
I love McCarthy. A great non-interview interview to start the second half.
Who would have thought the quarterback sneak would ever be a part of the Packers’ offense again? I love it. No offense to the great one, but that looked pretty simple. Rodgers leaves with a 20-17 lead. 18 of 22 for 193 yards, a touchdown pass and a touchdown rushing. Not too shabby.
This was our last view of Rodgers this preseason. His next real appearance is for all the marbles. Yeah, he may take a snap or two next Thursday, but we saw what we needed to see tonight. And I like what we saw.
I’m out. Good night now.
