2015-16 Football thread - any team banter welcome.

So far this game is closer than I thought it would be. I'm glad it's a good game.

Newton's playing like he got hurt on the running play in the 1st quarter on the side lines.
Should be an interesting finish.

Anyway both teams can lose?
 
Yeah, make up a fake injury or just call it an "old" injury. He looks bad...
 
I want a quick Carolina field goal then have Denver run out the clock (if they can). That wins me $500!
 
Well, it's about 24 hours till Super Bowl game time. I don't think I've seen a single person that thinks that Denver will win the game.

I think Denver will win!

Here's why not necessarily in any order.

The big portion of the Denver team was completely skunked by Seattle two years ago. That gives them two things, the embarrassment they want to erase and the knowledge and experience of being there. Carolina does not have that knowledge and experience. Denver has little pressure as few think they will win a evidenced by the betting lines.


Defense wins championships, Denver has the top defense in the league this year. Anytime you have a great defense it can keep you in a game. The way to disrupt the Carolina offense this to get after Cam and not hang back. That's what Seattle did to them last year and Atlanta did to them this year in their last two losses. The Seahawks website noticed it. LOL

Denver has had very few distractions this week. Carolina has spent the whole week talking about Cam Newton, all of his baggage, and the cocky attitude of the entire team.

Carolina has been a fast starter but tends to let up and let teams back in later. Going to Super Bowl with extended half times etc. that usually doesn't work very well in the Super Bowl

I think Denver by a touchdown.

Denver wins!!!

And I didn't win my pool!
 
I thought Newton really showed his desire to win when he backed away from the fumble late in the 4th quarter. What a *****. When the game is on the line winners want the ball. Was that cupcake more worried about getting hurt that winning? I guess he has 6 months to think about it.

What an embarrassment. That was a total gut check time. He should of jumped on that loose ball like he was smothering a grenade to protect his kids. I guess that's the diff between a good player and a champion. A champion puts it all out there when the game is on the line.

They still would have lost...
 
I have Never observed such a dominant performance by a defense in a Super Bowl level game. They literally did it all including scoring one touchdown and all but running it accross for another.

Is this D better than the 85 Bears?

MM- the D did control the game. I remember the Ravens a few years ago having a Defense that was just awesome as well. It seems that when it comes time for the "big game", the team with the better defense prevails.

It would appear that Mr. Superman came up against a strong defense and didn't know how to handle that. Who was it made comments earlier about the Panthers having a weak schedule?
