Underdogs


The Lobo

Recommended Posts

No, I don't mean the Broncos. I know we are favored to win by many people but I love that underdog mentality (I'm sure the players do too). Earlier in the week Rivera said he would find something to tell the guys that would fire them up. Try to find something that's disrespecting them almost. What do you guys think our boys can use as ammo to have that underdog mentality?

I know the Superb Owl is enough for some, but surely there has to be something else.

They just need to remember even though they're picked to win, lots expect them to lose. Many don't see the Panthers as being for real. Cam should be fired up after all that's been said about him during the season and even his career. Remember there was a time when people said he wouldn't even be a backup in 5 years. The WRs who are no names. The defense. This whole team should have a major chip.

You need motivation for the SB? WTF....it's the Goddamn SUPERBOWL!!!!!!

Not necessarily motivation but get that underdog mentality because Ron said he'd try to say things to make the players feel like that. Calm down.

Not worrying just starting conversation...I thought that's what message boards were for

I know what ya meant. 

We really have used underdog motivation to our advantage all season. I honestly don't think we will need any extra motivation for this game. 

For this game it's not just a touchdown, it's a touchdown in the Super Bowl. 

It's not just a sack, it's a sack in the Super Bowl... So on and so forth 

With all the hype this week and the most hyped week of any sporting event coming up next week... I think the teams relaxed demeanor may be one of the teams biggest advantages.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
