Packers Morning Buzz: Winless Broncos capable of springing upset

Welcome to your Morning Buzz, rounding up news and views regarding the Green Bay Packers from around the web and here at PackersNews.com.

We'll start with the Denver Broncos -- Green Bay's opponent Sunday -- being one of nine NFL teams that have gotten off to 0-2 starts. USA Today's Nate Davis ranks them in order from hopeless (the Dolphins) to still alive for the playoffs, and it sounds like Denver remains a threat to spring an upset Sunday.

Davis writes:

4. Denver Broncos

After another coaching change and another quarterback change, it appears they're headed for another round of early winter tee times. But ... this Vic Fangio-led defense could catch fire, and QB Joe Flacco can take advantage of that if he gets into rhythm with his new weapons and OC Rich Scangarello. Little chance this group can run down the Chiefs in the AFC West, but there's still time to be a viable wild-card threat if things fall into place.

Will Brinson of CBS Sports did a similar story and ranked the Broncos as the second-best 0-2 team:

2. Denver Broncos

What's happened: Denver plodded its way through a pair of tough losses, including a brutal one to the Bears in Week 2 (Chicago would have been the slam dunk top two-loss team had Eddie Pinerio not buried a long field goal). The Broncos were entirely lethargic against the Raiders and Joe Flacco's first half was a massive red flag. Despite people giving up on him, he looked a lot better in Week 2 against a difficult Bears defense and, despite a terrible goal line interception, led a touchdown drive and two-point conversion to give the Broncos what should have been a lead. I don't think they were going to beat the Raiders in Week 1, but if DaeSean Hamilton catches an easy touchdown late in that game, this team could be 2-0 fairly easily.
