Some may look at this and say it's a crazy idea.  The two teams that make it to the Superbowl are battle tested and surely will be able to put up more than one score.  However, the idea of a shutout in the Superbowl is not as far-fetched an idea as you might believe.  The '85 Bears almost pulled it off against the Patriots.  The 2000 Ravens came close to doing it against the Giants.  Even though our defense is not as great as those examples, they are great at getting turnovers and stopping the run.

So here we are, playing a team in Denver whose offense is pretty much in game manager mode.  If we stop the run which I strongly believe we will do relatively easy, Denver would have to rely on Manning to come out and throw it around like his younger days.  The problem with that is, he ain't young no more!  We will blitz the mess out of him and will surely set records in turnovers.  If the NFL thought Palmer looked bad, wait until they see old man Manning come next Sunday.  In my opinion, this will be the first shutout in the Superbowl.  What say you Panther faithful?

Nah. If we're up big at half time we'll go into conservative mode and they'll dink and dunk their way to a score or two. It's inevitable. 

 

But that would be awesome heh. 

We did go for two points in a blowout against the Cards.  Perhaps this coaching staff want to send a statement from here on out.

As thrilling as it would be to shut out Payton Manning, I just don't see it happening, nor do I want to think about the terrible, fantasy of a jinx.  Denver didn't get to the SB by luck alone, they are a great team.  I just don't see us being able to completely shut them down.  Our D is good for a play or two where everyone misses the boat and they score.  I think that will happen again.

That was just something else for the Broncos to be ready for. No need for it, but did it.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks are Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team) seem to be locks. Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?

      I had this discussion with my buddy yesterday afternoon. If we start this season very slow(especially with the schedule being what it is) and then "rally" in the second half to get to 4-7 wins, I am already gonna be pretty heated at the staff overall. I know we are a very bad roster but I am not gonna keep excusing these slow season starts WITH late season rallies. That's a coaching staff problem, IMO. It's more excusable to just stink gate to gate, IMO. At least you can understand why.
