Missed opportunities
The Packers’ trip to Denver does not seem like it has been especially productive. Matt LaFleur’s team toiled in the joint practice on Friday and there were precious few positives to take from Sunday’s 27-2 loss to the Broncos.
Green Bay’s head coach had it right when he opened his post-game press conference by saying: “that was a long night”.
Of course, there is context to provide; this was a meaningless game which the Broncos played their starters for a good chunk of, while 31 Packers players sat out, but what will have disappointed LaFleur is that none of his second-or-third-stringers really stepped up to grab the opportunity in front of them.
