Kim Constantinesco, the Denver Broncos blogger with Predominantly Orange, took time out of his busy schedule to answer questions about the Denver Broncos and provide a look at Sunday’s upcoming game. Here’s what the word is coming from the Mile High City.

Aaron Rodgers speaks with both actions and words and nothing can emphasize that point more than the comments he made about fellow teammate Jermichael Finley this week, followed today by his selection as the NFL offensive player of the month. Clearly, his actions on the field have caught the attention of the NFL, his peers and fans as evidenced by this selection. Rodgers’ play this first month of the season has been a spillover from the last half of last season. To put it bluntly … this guy is on a roll with little on this earth showing signs of [...]

When the Packers hit the hallowed ground of Lambeau Field this weekend for the first time in three weeks, the team comes in with one of the NFL’s most prolific offenses. Aaron Rodgers’ league best passer rating of 120.9 is impressive and the Packers’ 3-0 record highlights one of the franchise’s best starts, but it doesn’t feel that way, does it?

I’ve been saying for this for years … and because i firmly believe in the idea, I’m going to never say never. Today when the unofficial logo was unveiled for Super Bowl 48, better known as Super Bowl XLVIII, it quickly caught my attention – it’s awesome – especially the snowflake emblazoned front and center.

It was interesting listening to Deion Sanders yesterday during the post-game sessions that run nonstop on the NFL Network.  Aside from his continued love pats toward the Packers … “I just love the Packers” … Deion left watchers with an interesting tidbit about how he feels about the 3-0 Lions and how he feels things will turn out by the end of the season.  While also saying the Lions were a good team and that he loves how they play, he doesn’t feel Detroit is ready to take the next step as a contender or even win the division.

How much did the Packers miss Jermichael Finley and Ryan Grant last season? Well, not enough to keep the team from winning the Super Bowl. How much value do the two bring back to the team this season?

Mike Burzawa, editor of the Chicago Bears website Beargoggleson.com, spent a few minutes answering questions about today’s matchup. Here is the text from the Q&A: 1.) The Packers are dealing with the loss of Collins, but the Bears head into Sunday’s game with Bennett and Carimi out and five other key players questionable. How much of an impact does this have on the Bears’ game plan and should even half of those players not suit up, do the Bears have the replacements that can do the job? Injuries to the Bears’ safeties scare me most because there’s a pretty big [...]

Sunday’s matchup between the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears will be no different this time around – the winner will be determined in the trenches, especially the match between the Packers’ offensive line and the Bears’ defensive line. We can talk all we want about the passing game, the running game, receivers, or special teams, but the bottom line will be the performances turned in along the line.

The announcement appropriately comes during Bears Week … The notorious “Bears Killer,” Brett Favre, will no longer be tossing footballs around NFL stadiums – at least not this weekend – probably pleasing Bears, Vikings and Lions fans immensely. The announcement that Favre’s alma mater, Southern Mississippi, has called and given him the opportunity to do something with his weekends is welcomed by all NFL fans. He will be the color commentator for the CSS broadcast of the school’s Oct. 1 game against Rice. That means that there will be at least one weekend when his name won’t be floated as [...]
