The Good: When I finally turned the game off at the end of the 3rd quarter. Honorable Mention: It's only the preseason.
The Bad: Watching the first 3 quarters.
The Ugly: The entire team performance. Dishonorable Mention: Being out of state and having to listen to the Broncos announcers on the NFL Network drone on and on about their "mighty" Broncos team.

Right- my dislike for the broncos is borderline hatred. The two losers announcing the game made me wish I had been in a darkness retreat. Had I been a first time observer, I would have been convinced Bo Nix was a 5x MVP and possibly the greatest QB ever drafted.
It didn’t help that the Packers looked like an unmade bed, but get real bronco homers.

Wow. Terrible game for the Packers. . . at least for the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th stringers.
Nobody stood out.
Yeh, I know, the poor Packer players were playing against the Bronco 1st stringers.
No drive, no intensity.
Lombardi would've gone out of his mind: " What the hell is going on out there? "
It looks like Matt is right: can't let the 1st stringers play because, if one of them gets hurt, the Packers have no decent, reliable backup players to replace them.

No intensity—- describes it perfectly.

OMG.
Look, I get it that we weren't gonna win the game. It was elite Varsity v. JV (or maybe Junior high). Payton was making a statement about how he's turned around a loser for the home fans. We were just road-testing some C and below players. However....
How can you evaluate OL players who can't block? And if they can't block, how can evaluate running backs?
And if you can't run, how can you evaluate QBs who are always running for their lives? (Best play of night? Scrambles!) And how can evaluate WRs when you can't get the ball to them because of all of the above? At least we know Whelan can punt. But we knew that already. So I don't see how this tape helps us AT ALL on O.
On D, we at least get a high F for effort. They scored 2 points after all! Maybe some of those guys can play.
Last week, we beat the Browns. This week we WERE than the Browns. Only worse. Much worse. Maybe next week we'll look like the Packers again at home. 60,000 fans deserve better, even if we lose.

Good point. Offense starts and end in the O-line and a microcosm of ths was the last season. Surely it was Love who matured but first half of the season he was running for his life. When O-line started to hold their own, everything started to click.

Let’s get rid of the crazy myth that the Packers got beat by the Broncos first string. The starters played the 1st quarter and some played a little into the 2nd. The rest of the game the Packers were getting their asses kicked by subs and scrubs.

The Good- I don't get the NFL channel so unable to watch it.
The Bad- OL run blocking
The Ugly- A total team non- performance effort.

Good - the game is over phew!
Ugly - we only scored two points
Bad. - Lions, Bears, Vikes played a few starters but managed to win with mostly second stringers.
