<p>We go around the horn with APC's writing staff to get everyone's takes on Green Bay's first loss of the 2015 season.</p> <p>As we, the Acme Packing Company staff, watched the Denver Broncos dismantle the Green Bay Packers' offense on Sunday Night, most of us had warring opinions in our minds about the greater meaning of the events of the game.</p>
<p>While our emotional sides are telling us that it's time to start freaking out about the offense's inability to move the ball, the more rational parts of our personalities are fighting back to remind us that this was just a single game and that the Packers are still 6-1 and in the lead in the NFC North and will be no worse than one game behind the top team in the conference after week eight.</p>
<p>Which side of your brain is winning out at this point? Let us know in the comments what you think, and tell us whose takes you agree or disagree with.</p>
<h4>Tex</h4>
<p>To me, the most frustrating thing to watch in last night's debacle in Denver was the ineptitude of the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.acmepackingcompany.com/">Packers</a>' passing game. In a way, I have become somewhat numb to the poor tackling and coverage that the defense displayed last night, but seeing an <span>Aaron Rodgers</span>-led passing attack finish under 100 yards was, in a word, shocking.</p>
<p>I think the offense missed <span>Ty Montgomery</span> last night. The Packers have had some success in recent weeks when they trotted out both Montgomery and <span>Randall Cobb</span>, putting one in the slot and the other in the backfield. That helped draw some favorable matchups with one or both of them, which Rodgers was able to take advantage of. With the rookie inactive, Green Bay seemed content to just trot out their typical three-wide sets, barely ever mixing up their personnel. Hell, I thought I would be the last person on Earth to be clamoring for <span>Jeff Janis</span>, but giving him a couple of snaps with the starting offense couldn't have hurt.</p>
<p>All in all, though, remember that good teams sometimes get wake-up calls - think New England at Kansas City last year. Admittedly, this was a bad performance, but it was against a really good team, in their building, and on a night in which said opponent was emotionally charged for a variety of reasons. If there's a time to lose a game, it's under those circumstances against a team from the other conference. In total, this reminds me a lot of last year's Buffalo game, just against a much better opponent. After that game, the Packers won out to earn the NFC North title and a playoff bye, then played well in a win over Dallas and were fantastic for 57 minutes in Seattle. In other words, now is not the time to freak out. Let's wait and see what happens against Carolina before we start jumping off bridges, but at the same time, it's okay to be uncomfortable about next Sunday.</p>
<h4>Jason</h4>
<p>In a vacuum, a loss to the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.milehighreport.com/">Broncos</a> doesn't represent a huge blow to the Packers, who remain undefeated in the NFC and can regain the top spot in the conference with a win over the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.catscratchreader.com/">Panthers</a> next week. However, the manner in which Green Bay lost on Sunday raises any number of questions, not least of which is whether the aerial attack can ever get off the ground.<br> <br>Aaron Rodgers finished the game with 77 passing yards, the worst mark of his career for a game he both started and finished. Once again, the receivers struggled to create separation from defenders, leaving Rodgers to dance around until a dump off option presented itself. Further complicating matters, the Packers' offensive line didn't give its quarterback much room to operate, resulting in many off-balance throws. Denver's defense has that effect on every one of their opponents, but Green Bay should still have performed better.</p>
<p>Similarly, the running game offered little reason for confidence. <span>Eddie Lacy</span> did find his way to the end zone, but he managed just 38 yards on 11 attempts. The concerns about his poor play this season -- and the ongoing questions about his conditioning -- certainly weren't dispelled by Sunday's performance. Again, the Broncos' run defense is as stout as any in the league, but a supposedly elite tailback like Lacy should average more than 3.5 yards per carry regardless of opponent.</p>
<p>That said, it probably isn't time to fly off the handle if you're a Packers fan. The team has endured slumps before and fought their way out. However, if Green Bay doesn't figure out its problems on offense within the next two weeks, the five-letter word that starts with a P will certainly set in.</p>
<h4>Brendan</h4>
<p>Dom Capers and the defense are going to catch hell today for giving up their second straight 500-burger and deservedly so - that's a lot of yards! But my biggest concern with this team is the offense because my god were they butt last night. There's always going to be the argument in a beatdown like this whether the loss was just a loss, or whether it signifies ‘Bigger Problems' and while I think most of the Packers issues will correct themselves - like <span>Davante Adams</span> and <span>James Jones</span> still not looking healthy - there was one biggie last night that worries me: Coaching.<br> <br>I could avert my eyes long enough to look past the Andy Reid-esque clock management and ridiculous decision to concede the game by punting with 7:00 minutes left, but the offensive game plan - and unwillingness to adjust - was Mike McCarthy at his worst. Hell, I actually turned on baseball at one point.<br> <br>I get that Aaron Rodgers is a magician wizard phantom in the pocket, but it was clear from the get-go that the Broncos pass rush was going to be a problem - especially with Green Bay's receivers getting locked up in man coverage. And yet, Rodgers was still asked to perform a capoeira routine every time he dropped back. It was a stubborn approach and a far cry from this season's Seattle game that saw the offense switch gears to a dink-and-dunk strategy when the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.fieldgulls.com/">Seahawks</a> took away the sidelines and seams. That game showed the kind of creativity and flexibility that makes this offense one of the deadliest in the league. Last night showed a team that looked lost and one-dimensional. Would more pick plays or bubble screens have kept the Packers in it? Who knows. But even with 500 yards of offense, Denver still only scored 29 points. A decent number, but not the kind of score that should ever feel out of reach. At worst, last night should have been a shootout between the two best quarterbacks of their eras. Instead, it was the old dog that dominated, proving that you don't need new tricks when you're not tied to a leash.</p>
<h4>Paul</h4>
<p>A lot of pundits, myself included, have made fun of the Seattle offense this year as juvenile, lacking any coherent philosophy, and basically just <span>Russell Wilson</span> running around until he finds someone open. What exactly is the Packers offense right now? When was the last time anyone ran a slant? I think the league has figured out the "throw it to Cobb and let him beat a guy one-on-one play" at this point. This offense is "let Aaron buy time and maybe someone will run open", and that is not a real offense.</p>
<p>Losing to the Broncos is fine. They're very good, especially on defense. I'm much more concerned with the absolutely pathetic showing on offense. Keep in mind the Packers' lone touchdown drive was absurdly assisted by penalties. I understand that <span>Jordy Nelson</span> isn't walking through that door and Cobb is ailing, but this isn't a passing offense in the conventional sense. At some point you need to trust the young guys to run the right routes and know what they're doing, and maybe endure the occasional interception as a result. There were some problems defensively too, in particular the Broncos doing some excellent work to get <span>Demaryius Thomas</span> singled up on <span>Casey Hayward</span>, but they were also banged up. They'll be fine (if <span>Clay Matthews</span>' injury isn't too serious).</p>
<p>An Aaron Rodgers offense should never look like that. I've said McCarthy is the best Monday-Saturday coach in football, but just about everything in this game was schemed incorrectly. This was just an awful game for the staff and for 12. It will be interesting to see how they react against the league's 2nd-best defense next week. Given that they had a full 2 weeks to prepare for this last game, I am not optimistic.</p>
<h4>Adam</h4>
<p>This is the wake up call that I believe many of us knew was bound to happen. As Jason alluded to, this was the best time to suffer a letdown. Not that it is ever good, but for it to happen against a quality AFC opponent on the road is far from the worst-case scenario. This team has been flawed on both sides of the ball for a good part of the season and it finally caught up to them.</p>
<p>Offensively, it is concerning to see the passing attack struggle to this extent. Yes, Denver has one of the best secondaries in the game, but there is no reason Rodgers should only throw for 77 yards. The lack of separation by the receivers combined with struggling pass protection make it next to impossible to find success. Perhaps their quick-strike game has been solved by defenses and the offense can't find an alternate way to attack.</p>
<p>The defense has been bending and bending all season. Last night they finally broke. Manning shredded the secondary with ease, as the corners could not lock up coverage all game. I am starting to think the 500-yard performance by Rivers two weeks ago was no fluke. The back end of this defense is very young and starting to experience some growing pains.</p>
<p>As I mentioned in the preview leading up to this game, the quarterback who is allowed the time to make plays will win this game. That is exactly what happened as Rodgers was dancing in the pocket on seemingly every dropback. Manning, on the other hand, had a game plan and was never forced to abandon it. I guess this is what happens when you give <span>Peyton Manning</span> two weeks to prepare for you. It will rarely end well.</p>

</figure>
<p>The Packers looked listless and confused as the Broncos controlled Sunday night's game from the opening kick.</p> <p>Coming out of the bye week, much was expected of the newly-healthy <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.acmepackingcompany.com/">Green Bay Packers</a> as they headed into Denver to play the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.milehighreport.com/">Broncos</a>. As it turned out, all of that expectation was misplaced, as both the offense and defense failed to put forth anything resembling a competent performance in an embarrassing 29-10 loss at Mile High on Sunday Night.</p>
<p>In short, the defense could not cover or tackle or pressure <span>Peyton Manning</span>, the receivers could not get open, the offensive line could not block for <span>Aaron Rodgers</span>, and the quarterback could not reliably find open receivers. All of that led to an abysmal performance all around which ended Green Bay's unbeaten start in embarrassing fashion.</p>
<p>The Packers had one of their most inept offensive games in recent memory in this contest. Aaron Rodgers finished the game with 14 completions on 22 attempts for a whopping 77 passing yards. All told, the Packers were outgained in offensive yardage by a 500-140 margin.</p>
<p>In case you feel the need to relive the game, here's how it went down.</p>
<h4>First Half</h4>
<p>After winning the toss and deferring, the Packers' defense got off to a good start on the opening drive and forced an early punt. Peyton Manning found <span>Demaryius Thomas</span> for a nice gain on the first play from scrimmage, but the Packers pressured forced a pair of incompletions afterwards and got a big run stop as well to get the ball back. Unfortunately, like the Broncos, the Packers got one first down on their first drive before being forced to punt. That first down came on the legs of <span>Eddie Lacy</span>, but the Broncos' pass rush got going quickly and laid a few early hits on Rodgers to force incompletions.</p>
<p>The Broncos then went to work moving the football, getting some help from the Packers in the form of several missed tackles. Thomas shredded <span>Casey Hayward</span> on multiple occasions to help Denver get to the goal line before <span>Ronnie Hillman</span> punched the ball in from a yard out to put the Broncos up 7-0.</p>
<p>Once again, the Packers' stalled out on offense, but this time it was the Broncos' coverage that forced the punt rather than the pass rush. On third and five, Rodgers had about seven seconds of time in the pocket, but could not find an open receiver as his pass landed incomplete. However, a nice punt by <span>Tim Masthay</span> and a holding penalty on Denver on the return pushed the Broncos back deep in their own territory.</p>
<p>The Broncos picked up right where they left off, unfortunately, with Casey Hayward being burned by Thomas. After a screen pass to <span>Owen Daniels</span> went for a nice gain, Manning found Thomas on a rainbow over Hayward to get inside the ten-yard line. The Broncos had a touchdown wiped away by an offensive pass interference penalty, but on the next play Hillman somehow snuck away from the entire Packers defense and scored his second touchdown of the night.</p>
<p>The Packers went three and out on the next drive, and Packers fans everywhere began to fully panic.</p>
<p>Green Bay's defense did improve on the ensuing drive, although it saw a starter get benched. <span>Nate Palmer</span> was pulled after a blown coverage and missed tackle in favor of <span>Jake Ryan</span>, and the Packers got a stop against the Broncos' running game to force a 50-yard field goal attempt. <span>Brandon McManus</span> hit to make the game 17-0.</p>
<p>Rodgers had to dial up his own number on first down of the next drive, as he scrambled for a first down after getting moving on play-action. He then found <span>Richard Rodgers</span> for another first down along the right sideline before getting bailed out by a roughing the passer penalty on a failed third-and-six that should have led to a punt. Instead, that kept the drive alive, and Eddie Lacy took advantage, adding a 14-yard carry and then a short touchdown to get the Packers on the board and cut the Broncos' lead to 17-7.</p>
<p>Towards the end of the half, Denver moved the ball into Packers territory, but a couple of penalties on a rookie offensive lineman and a pass breakup by <span>Demetri Goodson</span> (in for the injured <span>Sam Shields</span> and <span>Quinten Rollins</span>) forced them back out of field goal range and into a punting situation with a few seconds left. A fair catch by <span>Micah Hyde</span> put the second quarter in the books.</p>
<h4>Second Half</h4>
<p>The Packers received the second half kickoff and ran a sustained drive. Rodgers picked up another first down with his legs after picking up one earlier via penalty, but the drive stalled out across Denver's 40 after a holding penalty on Bryan Bulaga. Mason Crosby hit a 56-yard field goal, pulling the Packers within a touchdown at 17-10.</p>
<p>The same issues that plagued the Packers' defense in the first half continued to do so in the third quarter. They continued to allow Denver's receivers to get open in the middle of the field and had tackling issues. Then, shortly after <span>Clay Matthews</span> had to leave the field after having his ankle rolled up on by <span>Damarious Randall</span>, the Broncos attacked the middle of the field with <span>C.J. Anderson</span>, who scampered for a 28-yard touchdown up the gut where Matthews would normally be aligned. That score extended the lead to 24-10.</p>
<p>Once again on the next drive, the Packers' offense failed to generate anything substantial as Rodgers continued to struggle. Aside from one pinpoint throw to <span>Randall Cobb</span> for a first down, he was generally inaccurate on the drive and ended up getting sacked on third and long to force a punt.</p>
<p>Manning continued to carve up the Packers' defense as the fourth quarter began, but the Packers held Denver to another field goal to make the score 27-10 in favor of the Broncos.</p>
<p>As if it wasn't bad enough, the Packers allowed a safety on their next play from scrimmage. After a poor decision by <span>Jared Abbrederis</span> to return a kickoff out of the end zone, Rodgers was hit instantly by <span>DeMarcus Ware</span> and fumbled. The ball bounced around in the end zone for a while before Richard Rodgers fell on it and was touched down for two more Broncos points to make it 29-10.</p>
<p>The Packers got their only turnover of the game on the next drive, as <span>Damarious Randall</span> picked up his first career interception. The rookie laid out for a pass at the right-hand numbers and took it away. However, the Packers got nothing going (thanks in part to a blown call when <span>James Jones</span>' forward progress was stopped but the whistle was never blown) and the Packers all but conceded by punting the ball away. They got a few more plays after Denver ran some clock out, but Scott Tolzien simply handed off to Alonzo Harris as the Packers hopped on the plane back to Green Bay.</p>

<p>Aaron Rodgers passed for only 15 yards in the first quarter.</p> <p>It's been a less than ideal start for the <a href="https://www.acmepackingcompany.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Green Bay Packers</a> offense coming out the bye.</p>
<p>The Packers trail the <a href="https://www.milehighreport.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Broncos</a>,17-7, after the first half of football and haven't been able to do much on offense outside of a late drive in the second quarter that ended after a 2-yard touchdown burst from Eddie Lacy.</p>
<p>Quarterback Aaron Rodgers only passed for 15 yards in the first quarter, and has just 37 heading into the tunnel. Although he hasn't been sacked by Denver's terrorizing defense, Rodgers took plenty of shots on the first two offensive drives for the Packers and has faced constant pressure all game.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the Broncos have everything going on the offensive end in the running and passing game. <span>Peyton Manning</span> finished 14-of-18 and passed for 212 yards while recording a 118.6 passer rating. The Packers haven't generated any sort of pass rush and Manning hasn't been sacked at all so far.</p>
<p>Broncos running backs <span>Ronnie Hillman</span> (40 yards) and <span>C.J. Anderson</span> (43) have both run the ball effectively. Hillman has accounted for both of Denver's offensive touchdowns.</p>
<p>Two players sustained injuries for the Packers in the first half. Cornerbacks Sam Shields and rookie <span>Quinten Rollins</span> both <a target="_blank" href="http://www.acmepackingcompany.com/2015/11/1/9656438/packers-vs-broncos-sam-shields-questionable-to-return-with-shoulder">left the game with shoulder injuries</a>, and both have been ruled questionable to return.</p>

<p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.acmepackingcompany.com/">Green Bay Packers</a> are down two cornerbacks tonight.</p>
<p>The team announced that cornerbacks <span>Sam Shields</span> and rookie <span>Quinten Rollins</span> will both miss the remainder of the game due to shoulder injuries.</p>
<p>Shields suffered the injury and limped off the field on the Packers' second defensive drive against the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.milehighreport.com/">Denver Broncos</a>. He was taken to the locker room shortly after by the Packers' medical staff. Right after the injury, the Broncos capped an 83-yard drive with a 1-yard touchdown run by <span>Ronnie Hillman</span>. It's unclear how Rollins sustained his injury.</p>
<p>With Shields and Rollins out, the Packers have given reps to second-year corner <span>Demetri Goodson</span> on the outside opposite of rookie <span>Damarious Randall</span>. Veteran <span>Casey Hayward</span> was playing on the outside, but has moved back into his natural slot position.</p>
<p>Behind those three defensive backs, the Packers only have <span>Micah Hyde</span> active to play cornerback. Rookie LaDarius Gunter was among today's inactives.</p>

<p>Both teams come back off a bye week and are rested and mostly healthy for the contest. The Packers get a slew of players back after injury, with names like <span>Davante Adams</span>, <span>Morgan Burnett</span>, <span>B.J. Raji</span>, and <span>Nick Perry</span> all active for the game. The Broncos, meanwhile, are back to almost full strength on the defensive side, with <span>DeMarcus Ware</span> returning from back issues to play this week.</p>
<p>Join APC for the game in the comments below, and Go Pack Go!</p>

<p>Packers will face the Broncos' top pass rusher on Sunday.</p> <p>As expected, the <a href="https://www.acmepackingcompany.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Green Bay Packers</a> will have their four injured starters back in the lineup for their Sunday night showdown with the <a href="https://www.milehighreport.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Denver Broncos</a>.</p>
<p>Starting wideout <span>Davante Adams</span> missed most of the Packers' last four games with an ankle sprain, leaving the receiving corps perilously low on vertical threats. The team hopes that Adams' presence allows <span>Randall Cobb</span> to see more single-coverage looks, thus opening up the passing game. At the same time, rookie <span>Ty Montgomery</span> will miss the game as the result of the ankle injury he suffered two weeks ago against the <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/san-diego-chargers" class="sbn-auto-link">San Diego Chargers</a>.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the defense returns nose tackle <span>B.J. Raji</span>, safety <span>Morgan Burnett</span> and outside linebacker Nick Perry. Burnett missed the most time of the group, having appeared in only one game prior to Green Bay's Week 7 bye.</p>
<p>As for the Broncos, injured edge rusher <span>DeMarcus Ware</span> is active and should see plenty of playing time Sunday evening. He leads his team in sacks (4.5), and his presence allows for fewer blockers to focus on teammate <span>Von Miller</span>.</p>
