My 5 predictions for SuperBowl 50


Frank Hollywood

Recommended Posts

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.

    • I think at some point you top out what God gave you.  He can use leverage via his mechanics to maximize what he has and When he pays attention to it the throws are better.    IMO as a layman a lot of it is what kind of ‘headroom’ you have. The guys who are gifted don’t have to use maximum effort to get good results and stay within themselves but they have it in reserve. They can do an arm throw for substantial distance without max effort.    I think what we may be seeing with these ‘lasers’ is a throw that Bryce puts the max effort into and does his mechanics right and has his base right and it works together.    To get to the payoff here, I think his best velocity throws take dall that whereas  a naturally gifted guy doesn’t need to go full effort to get that same velocity. I have said this three or four times over the years and it never gets picked up on but the accuracy is more consistent with an easier motion and max effort can produce less predictable location. It is a baseball pitcher thing but it applies to throwing a pass too. It isn’t that you can’t make an accurate throw with full effort it is just not as reliably accurate to the same degree. Someone said something about his pro day and that is where I saw it too. He took a little extra step on the deep throws. Some call it a hitch but I don’t see it that way because I don’t see it on shorter throws. He does it trying to get distance. I saw that and just wanted no part of it at 1.1 . That is not tne characteristic of a 1.1 passer.  He should have been at best, late first  I had him second day. Of course I am no one and certainly not a pro evaluator, it is just that he WS so easy to suss out. They must have thought they could fix him. Changing a lifelong throwing motion with the footwork tied into it is not fuging easy. Anyone that had decent success with ‘their’ way and tried to change it to get more, can tell you that.     
    • Sounds like a tad bit of what Josh Allen had. He would make throws that made zero sense die to his desire to make a make. Bryce also turns the ball over believing their is an unlimited shot clock in those moments. Sometimes the best play is to reset for the next one. 
    • See, I think one of his biggest issues is he bails too early.  His instinct has been to bail as soon as defenders get behind him and the pocket starts to close in. Taller QBs hang in there for that extra second or two and throw over guys as the pocket collapses in the QBs lap.  BY runs as soon as this starts to happen, which means routes don’t have time to develop and the field gets cut in half as soon as he runs. This last game I saw some signs of him being willing to hang in the pocket when the defense gets behind him, but that has been rare.
