It's not going to be easy. Their #1 defense is leagues beyond the #2 defense (Seattle?). I think Cam is going to see things he hasn't seen before. However, our coaches have & will have him prepared. Wade Phillips is a heck of a d coordinator but he's not new to the game.

Denver has not faced an offense like Carolina's all season long. 

 

The Panthers have faced offenses like the Broncos offense numerous time, only they don't have to worry about passes over 20 yards. 

 

This won't be a close game.

I'm thinking something like 4-5 interceptions for Manning. This defense is so damn opportunistic, and Manning throws a beautiful duck.

Manning may even get to have a standing ovation as Brock comes in with the game out of reach.

Pretty much... It's not even cocky ither. It's like card counting it becomes a skill after a while... Blow out incoming

I don't know. The Broncos defense is pretty damn good. Easily the toughest defense we will have faced this season. One of the best overall defense over the last half decade. I don't care what you say. Watch them. They're nasty.

The matchup to watch is their offense vs our defense. If we can get up by a couple scores early, Denver has no way of crawling back into the game with that offense. I'm not predicting a blowout. I think we win 24-13 or so with the game never really in doubt. 

If they double Olsen, and contain Cam then they have a very good shot to win.

Denver has fantastic players at CB and on the d-line. Von Miller is on another level, that guy is a freak. We're going to need to make shutting him down a number one priority. 

The rest of their defense is solid/pretty good but not ALL-Pro level. 

Not turning the ball over, and most importantly capitalizing on drives were we get into the endzone will be absolutely critical for our offense. 

I still maintain it is our defense who needs to give us the clear advantage in this game- i.e. creating turnovers

lol Lots of coffee already? ;)

You brought up Denver's defense's ranking, not their offense. So that's what I posted about.

I said it won't be easy. I didn't say it would be a close game. Or even that they would win.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I've been hearing all about this "winning culture" for years while watching us piss away top shelf draft position with meaningless late season wins when we're already eliminated from the playoffs but being assured this is building "winning culture" just to inevitably suck again next year. With that said, I'll always take a playoff berth. Just make the dance and you have a chance to make some noise. But spare me the "winning culture" bullshit.

      Winning culture trumps ALL.    Here’s my way to long take:  Last season this team started out breaking the sports books and being the lead pipe lock of the week. They finished by being a tough out for both SB teams.  I don’t think they’ll pick up right where they left off, but for the first time in years they’re on the legitimate upswing. Honest to God NFL talent has been infused.  Offense is already going to be good for 2-3 more 3rd down conversions (I don’t think anyone will argue that) a game over last year so I’ll go (very optimistically) 5-6 more points better than last year’s team. ADDED: A legit backup RB and a money WR who catches everything, along with 2 promising rooks. No significant losses (sorry Miles). KEYS: Can Dave bob and weave play calling if things aren’t working? Does protection continue to hold for Bryce. Did this team pick up dudes who know how to find the end zone or will the struggle of 3rd and goal continue.  Defense. If they can force even 2 (hopefully 3) more stops a game on third down (not asking a lot, hopefully more), that’s good for -4 (optimistic) points for opposing teams.  ADDED: legit run stuffers. Legit (appearing) edge guys. LOST: Clowney. Question: With legit 3-4 talent can Evero finally show what we have been VERY patiently waiting on? To me, EVERYTHING on defense hinges on Evero. Everything. Every position group was upgraded (still not good enough, but certainly improved).  Losing Brown early and Luvu… completely and utterly devastated the run defense. Luvu put up one of the best seasons at LB this team has ever seen. His under appreciation by some fans was criminal. He alone was our 3 down stop machine. Brown was pretty much it up front. Those 2 held RBs in check long enough for safety help to arrive.  Coaching: Halftime adjustments and no prevent defense. In a nutshell, that’s pretty much it. No cutesy offense to show off WRs/Bryce when it’s not working. Use your sledgehammers, Dave.  There is finally veteran leadership and legit NFL talent. It’s going in the right direction (I couldn’t have been more wrong last offseason) to build a winning culture, but teams have to learn how to win, especially the games where nothing is going right (this team has NEVER been able to do that). They will still lose more close games than they win, and that alone is where it all hinges.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      With his current level of play I'm quite content to not activate his 5th year option and let him walk away for free after year 4.
