Broncos Third Drive cont.... --

--The Broncos are looking at a 2nd and Goal from the 2 as the 2nd Quarter gets under way.  A solid response by the Broncos to the quick-strike Packer offense.
--And a horrible start to the quarter as Cutler can't handle the snap. That has been an issue before. Inexcusable loss of focus...Defense needs to come up big here....

Packers Third Drive --

--Replay shows Kuper stripped Cutler....
--Broncos let the Packers off the hook, and now Favre can get into his full arsenal
--Anyone seen Simeon Rice yet???
--There he is....
--Great....We cannot be without Lynch...
--Was Elvis Dumervil covering a receiver there?? Another Packer first down...
--Turnover has completely changed the momentum and the defense is getting shredded. Need something good to happen...
--The problems with the run defense continue. Remember, the Packers are the worst run offense in football...
--Defense is in total disarray...Amazing what this D looks like when Lynch is on the sideline.
--Another run, right up the gut and the Packers are looking at a first and goal...
--Great recovery by Bailey, who had been beaten by Driver. The pass was perfect, but the coverage was better...
--Broncos save themselves another penalty by calling a timeout. Big play, it would be a small victory to hold the Packers to 3.
--Let's hope that the layoff hasn't hurt the mojo the offense had rolling.
--Nice recovery by Williams. If he over-pursues on that play it's 6 for the Packers. Interesting decision up-coming for the Packers...
--It's a quick one and the Packers take the lead. Packers 10 - BRONCOS 7

Broncos Fourth Drive --

--At the very least the Broncos need to hold the ball, give the defense a rest...
--Is ESPN kidding me?? I mean really....THE F'N GAME IS GOING ON!
--The layoff definitely killed what the offense had going. The confidence of the offense is fragile at best, and the fumble has shaken them to say the least...

Packers Fourth Drive --

--Big series for the defense...
--Packers using alot of misdirection to slow down the Broncos defense. So far, it's working...
--Third and one is damn near automatic against this defense....
--Packers just running it right up the middle and the Broncos just have nothing for it...
--If that pass is on target it's 6 going the other way....That close...
--Dre Bly, left alone, gets burned by Greg Jennings....Nothing going right for the defense right now...
--TWO-MINUTE WARNING -- PACKERS 10 - BRONCOS 7
--The turnover changed the complexion of the game, as turnovers often due. Now, two long drives by the Packers have turned T.O.P. as well. A slow, methodical beating being applied right now. Defense needs a turnover...
--A penalty will give the Packers first and goal inside the 5. What else can go wrong??
--2nd and goal inside the 1, and the Broncos are forced to use a timeout to get the right personnel on the field...
--False Start will move the Pack back...Great timeout by Shanny...
--Great....more injuries on defense...
--Shanny uses his last timeout. A big play here, and a huge lift if the Broncos could hold to another field goal...
--False Start moves it back some more....Packers penalties are our best friend right now...
--A huge stop for this defense, with a healthy assist by the Packers O-Line.
--Field Goal is good....PACKERS 13 -- BRONCOS 7

Broncos Fifth Drive --

--How great would it be if the Broncos could somehow get a TD here. The Pack have dominated the 2nd Quarter, yet only lead by 6...
--Use this link to send a complaint to ESPN about this BS!! -- WE HATE KORNHEISER!!!
--86 seconds, 80 yards, no problem for Cutler....
--Cutler was quick and decisive in the first quarter....Not so much in the second..
--Now it is the Packers that will stop the clock to get the ball back..
--Nothing going for the offense. Need a big punt here...

Packers Fifth Drive --

--Solid coverage. No doubt Favre will take a shot here, however...
--Good coverage down-field and a Packer penalty...
--More holding upcoming on the Packers...
--Packer decide to take a knee, ending the first half....

END OF FIRST HALF -- PACKERS 13 - BRONCOS 7
