Each week I bring to you what fans of the opposition are saying about the game. This week, Denver Bronco fans discuss the Carolina Panthers. 

 

On why the Broncos will win...

Quote

1. We're underdogs-Panthers have everything to lose and we don't. We lose to the Panthers we lose to arguably the best team 15-1 All the pressure is on them. I'm already hearing people say it will be another loss like the seahawk superbowl. 
2. Team that blows out in opponent in conference championship generally has history of losing the superbowl. 1990 bills blow out Raiders 51-3 lose to giants superbowl 
3. 2012 we had the best offense in history playing the best defense in the seahawks. We all know what happened. Fast forward to today, We have the best defense this year and the Panthers have a top scoring offense. 
4. Everyone knows this is Probably Peyton's last game....ray Lewis, jerome Bettis affect? I also believe peyton has a great game because he's due and he'll be in warm weather. Thomas and Sanders will have a good game as well. Plus No one Is talking about the offense so I think their due. 
5. Seemed like everything fell into place. Peyton comes in the san Diego game at the end looks good and has started ever since. Patriots somehow lose to the Dolphins and we end up with home field throughout. Maybe the NFL is looking for a storybook ending. Cam will have more chances at a Superbowl. 
6. I think Vernon Davis steps up his game since he's back in SF again as well as Demarcus Ware for this might be their best shot at a ring. 

Just my thoughts. We win 28-17.

Six reasons here, not one of them has to do with football. The past, emotion, destiny, etc. If you do your best to come up with six reasons to win and none of them have to do with the skill of the players or the efficiency of scoring points... it won't be a good time for you. 

On Josh Norman

Quote

Norman is overrated and honestly very average.

Josh Norman has shut down receivers twice as good as anyone on the Denver roster all season long. I am not sure he is someone you want to throw shade at. He tends to get a bit worked up. 

On the Panthers run game... 

Quote

We can cover their recievers, not worried about their run game either. Cam is another animal though. Olsen is a top 3 tight end

Denver has not played a running QB all season, unless you count Andrew Luck. In addition, the Panthers have better rushing games against 3-4 defenses as they have a power run game. Fewer really large men on defense is to the benefit of the Panthers. 

Denver should be very, very worried about the run game. If the Panthers can run the ball, the game is all but over. 

Quote

Panthers are too confident and aren't battle tested. The Broncos have beat better teams too. I want the Panthers believing it's going to be easy. Same way the Cheatriots did.

Not battle tested? This is the third straight year the Panthers are in the playoffs. Also, they had to defeat two teams that are better than the Broncos to get to this point in the postseason. 

Quote

We'll treat Cam like we did Aaron Rodgers.

Yeah, you do that. Rodgers is a pretty athletic guy and runs well to buy time, but Cam will gash you for 30 yards up the middle if you just try to contain the edges. 

 

Here is the bottom line, and all you really need to know. The Denver defense is built to defeat the New England Patriots, and it worked. They have a lot of speed to keep up with the Tom Brady passing attack. The problem is, they are not at all built to play against a big, physical team. The Panthers offense isn't the highest scoring offense in the league due to finesse. They put a helmet on a helmet and physically punish you methodically. Basically the opposite of New England's arena ball offense. 

 

This won't be a close game, folks.

Like how you point to Denver's D being built to defeat NE, that's a great point.  Only way this is a close game is if we make a ton of mistakes.  Peyton can't throw ball more than 8 yards and when he does it's like the ball is flying in slow motion.  I feel like our D is going to have a field day and our running game is going to put the game out of reach early.  Go Panthers, KEEP POUNDING!

X's and O's kinda show a blowout. They have their storylines and so do we. But from a football perspective, everything seems to stack up against Denver.

Now obviously they have to play the game but I don't see our players being anything other than laser focused come game day. I also expect them to be very loose tonight at media day. Letting their personality shine.

All signs point to a very enjoyable game for us Panthers fans.

Panthers 34-17. We do turn the ball over once or twice but it will be inconsequential.

IMO... There are a lot of Panthers Players that will prolly not be on the team next year... or a Team at all... So.. I have a Feeling they are going to go all out to the point of pushing themselves harder than ever to get that ring...even the players on IR are going to teach as much as they can and coach them.   Allen, Tillman (IR), Harper, Cotchery, just to name a few are prolly gone next year. Also.. look at the other players... Davis, Kalil, Olsen, Anderson, CJ, Oher... they prolly only got 2-3 years left... Might as well give it all you got to get that ring.

That pass rush won't help when we're running the ball down their throat, can anyone name their ILB's? I know I can't and I'm an NFL junkie. They'll have to pull the safeties down into the box for run support and you know what happens next...

      Exactly. This has decimated the fanbase as well. There’s wayyyy less excitement even for a year where we have “improved”

      Bryce might be my least favorite football player of all time

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      It's about his playing style. I pointed all this put leading up to the draft. He'd usually take the snap from shotgun at Bama and immediately drop back another 5+ yards after that and then just kinda freewheel standing square to the LOS surveying the field. That can't world at the NFL for several reasons. 1) you can't create a picket that deep at the NFL level. NFL edge rushers are too good. 2) Standing square to the LOS like Bryce did now once you see where you want to throw, you have to flip your hips to get in position to deliver the throw. That means both your receiver needs to be wide open and you need ample protection. Not happening in the NFL. 3) On all of his deep throws he needed to be able to step up and through the throw to generate power. That rarely happens in the NFL. It happened recently against Atlanta and he played great but that type if time and room to operate just rarely happens on Sundays. Bryce was IMO always a prototypical great college player who just doesn't translate to the NFL from a talent and stylistic perspective. I don't know how he fooled football people into thinking otherwise.

      Seems so weird considering his college career, like obviously being a great Pro player is much harder but still how do you go from Heisman winning greatest Alabama QB this era to worst starting QB in the league, I don't get it. I know he had an injury his last year in college but that shouldn't effect his "processing" skills the way something has
