My 5 predictions for SuperBowl 50

1.       Josh Norman finally snags another interception

 

I’m not just writing this to make some sort of epic, end of the year prediction from our shut down corner. I truly think this is the game Josh finally gets his fifth interception after recording 4 so early in the season. Josh Norman is great at giving his receiver enough space to bait the QB, and while Peyton is one of the best in the game and should know better, father time has a different idea. Peyton can no longer get the zip on the ball he used to and as a result, the ball stays in the air a little longer than the sheriff would like. Josh will flawlessly pull off the interception, hopefully all the way to the end zone.

 

2.   

 

         A linebacker gets an interception

 

Look for Kawaan Short to be in Peyton’s face all day. Jared Allen and Charles Johnson will play better than they did earlier in the season. They are hungry for a ring while they still have a chance. Couple that with the face Peyton doesn’t have the strength for many deep throws. This will force Peyton to get rid of the ball rather quickly and as a result, he will deliver one of these throws into the waiting arms of the linebacker corps. Perhaps Luke gets his third straight pick 6? Maybe this is part of TD’s beast game? Maybe it’s time for the rookie to make his statement to the world, either way it’s happening.

 

 

 

3.       Thomas Davis goes HAM

 

Thomas Davis has the longest tenure on the team that was actually drafted from the Panthers. He’s overcome 3 ACL surgeries and broke his arm just two weeks ago. None of that matters to him. He’s already stated that he’s retiring after 2017 so this could theoretically be his only SuperBowl appearance. If you really think Cam is superhuman, wait till you see Davis Sr. on Sunday.

 

4.     

      Mike Remmers gives up 2 sacks

 

I have to be fair and give something to the Broncos. They looked amazing last week, particularly Von Miller, who will be lining up against Remmers. The scary thing is, Miller reminds me of Vic Beasly, who gave Remmers fits in Week 16, except that Von Miller is twice the player Vic Beasly is. I’d love for Remmers to shut him down, but I think Von Miller wins this matchup.

 

5.      

 

        Cam will have 100+ yards rushing

 

The Broncos secondary is talented, as is their defensive line. However, it looks like the Broncos defensive line has a tendency to over pursue a QB. Maybe it’s just me, but this looks like the defensive line that will either make a big play or give one up and we all know Cam takes yards if they give it to him. I think he sees holes and scampers for 10+ yards numerous times, one for a large 30+ yard gain.

 

 

 

 

Final score: Panthers 30 Broncos 16

What are your predictions?

Literally my favorite player on the team. I think that's the jersey I'll pick up net season. His heart for the game is on another level, even by NFL standards.

I've got my Super Bowl 50 patch on my dresser.  Once we win, I'll be ordering a black TD Elite.

My bold predictions:

Ted Ginn has a punt return for a TD and catches a long bomb for a TD. 

We have one pick six on Manning trying to force it as they are playing from behind. 

Jonathan Stewart breaks 100 yards rushing. 

Ted Ginn wins Superbowl MVP.

I think Shaq has a big game and i have said several times the team breaks the rushing record. 

But it would be sweet justice if Klien or Dickson were the real heroes.

Obviously I would NEVER want TD to get injured, but Shaq played really well for being thrust into the fire last week. He's athletic enough to make game changing plays should he have to sub in for TD.

I could see it. I'm hoping nobody else on the OL have a bad game.

I'm going to try and inject a little reality into this thread.   A few achieveable goals for the Panthers:

1. 27 yds rushing by Cam Newton, sacked half a dozen times, 1 pick, 1 TD pass

2. Stew runs 17 times for 48 yards, 1 TD

3. Graham Gano 1 43 yd FG.  Misses from 51 and 48 (wide left on the 48, short on the 51).

4. Olsen, 4 catches for 57 yds.

5. Ginn, 2 catches for 61 yds, 1 TD

Basically the Broncos are able to contain Cam Newton defensively, and are also able to not turn the ball over on offense.  The Broncos stay one step ahead of the Panthers throughout the game, forcing the Panthers to throw more than they wanted to, which allows the Broncos pass rush to be effective.  Broncos 27   Panthers 17

Must be smoking that good weed in CO. You can wake up now.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      It’s not new. That particular claim has largely disappeared because it has become untenable, but a few games into his rookie year when the playbook/gameplan/personnel/everything was terrible there was endless claims, posts, even threads made that Bryce Young was physically incapable of throwing the ball 20 yards downfield in the NFL. It was also argued that physically throwing the ball 20 yards in the NFL was somehow different than college. Once he threw the ball 20 yards, the goal posts moved to 30 yards, etc. I’m not going to use the search function for you, the point wasn’t as much that one claim as it was that that was one claim out of many that has made it very difficult to have a reasonable discussion here.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By CRA · Posted

      I mean, I can get a ball downfield 40 yards.  There would be a couple massive issues with me doing it.   My ball placement would be off the charts bad.  Second, for me to get it 40 yards I'm gonna have to moon it......which would give DBs the opportunity to make plays on balls that wouldn't exist if a better QB were throwing it.  Which is all an exaggerated explanation of the Bryce issue.  To many play the literal game w/ Bryce when it comes defending him.  Every NFL QB likely can loft one up around 50 yards.  Every QB in the NFL can't get a ball 30 yards downfield in the same windows.  Or the same ball placement.  That's the Bryce issue.    But I also think mixed into that is just his QB DNA.    Take a young Brees, it was in his DNA to stress defenses and takes shots.  He would flat out be Delhomme-ish at times.  Which is coverage and assignment altering.  Brees would throw balls into triple coverage 40 yards downfield.  Is that smart? Sometimes it is.  Not because the play gets made but you force the secondary to play honest.
