Not anymore.
This is one more thing we can add to the list of how far this franchise has fallen.

(2-3) at Denver. DraftKings has the Broncos as the home team for Green Bay. I still can’t believe I wrote that, but it makes sense. The total value is 44.5. Again, below is a solid bet on Denver games.
Attack positions
Green Bay: 28th in total offense (281.6 yards per game), 27th in passing (81.6 YPG), 21st in passing (200.0 YPG), 13th in passing (22.6 points per game).
Denver: 21st in total offense (306.3 yards per game), 19th in rushing (106.0 YPG), 20th in passing (200.3 YPG), tied for 17th in scoring (21.5 points per game).
Defensive Rankings
Green Bay: Seventeenth in total defense (337.8 yards per game), 28th in rushing defense (143.4 YPG), ninth in passing defense (194.4 YPG), 22nd in scoring defense (22.6 points per game).
Denver: Thirty-second in total defense (440.3 yards per game), 32nd in rushing defense (172.3 YPG), 30th in passing defense (268.0 YPG), 32nd in scoring defense (33.3 points per game).
Here are the MHR staff’s keys to Sunday’s game.
Don’t disappear on offense (again)
When it comes to the Broncos, the other safe bet at DraftKings is the first drive resulting in a touchdown ( 370 this week). Denver has scored an opening-drive touchdown in four of six games this season. The problem is, the Broncos’ offense disappears after that. Of course, Denver didn’t get a TD on the first drive against the Kansas City Chiefs (-5.5)

and just disappeared throughout the game. Not only do the Broncos need to open Sunday’s game with a TD, but they need to follow through and not miss a beat. I’m not holding my breath. – Ian St. Clair
Act like you care about winning games
This is more aimed at Jerry Jeudy than anything else. The way he acted the last week before the game must have been crazy. Instead, he caught 3 passes for 14 yards and then said he had no recollection of the pregame trash talk after Steve Smith criticized his play. The lack of maturity or desire on this team is so horribly evident not only on Jeudy, but on the entire team that I really hope Sean Payton blows up this roster and starts over next year. Culture is a loss and cannot be repaired. I have been a strong supporter of Jeudy since he came into the league, but last week he lost my support. The general lack of desire and effort on this team is frustrating enough as a fan, and if Payton wants to get the job done, he needs to fix the culture first. I think he can only do that with wholesale changes to the entire roster.
Oh, the key to the game? I think I will worry about winning games and showing that you want to be here next year. If not, as Al Davis may or may not have said, “just lose, baby.” – Tim Lynch
Find something else to do
Take some gum. Drink a beer. Spend time with children. Go apple picking. Find a way to relax. Don’t let this group of 60-70 people ruin your Sunday. As for the Broncos, run the ball. – Adam Malnati
Stay out of your way
When the Broncos were about to beat the Packers in Super Bowl XXVII, Eugene Robinson famously said, “We’re playing the Indianapolis Colts (3)

right now This team’s not better than us, they’re not even good!” He was only 26 years ahead of his time. It seems like the most important thing is to stay out of your way. It’s a losing, dysfunctional culture, and it’s not going to change suddenly Maybe they get lucky (unlucky?) and win. But they must stay out of their way to do it. Probably won’t happen. – Mike DeCicco
Set Run Out of the Gun
The Broncos passing attack looked terrible in a loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. However, their fast attack was actually quite decent. The Green Bay Packers have one of the worst defenses in the National Football League. They are giving up 4.3 yards per carry and have allowed 6 rushing yards. Additionally, opposing offenses gained 47 first downs against the Packers. This would be a good time for Sean Payton to start leaning on his running game. Other than that, I’d like to see the Broncos run out of guns more. This would help increase their offense and combat the predictability of their running game. Amazing that Payton hasn’t bothered to do that this season. I’d like to see those things change this week against Green Bay. – Christopher
