No one has given a legit reason why the Broncos would beat us

Everyone picking the Broncos is going off "feeling", or just hate for the panthers. I've seen NFL network, FS1 and ESPN all week and everyone that picked Broncos said something like "I have a feeling Peyton", or "I'm rooting for Peyton" or something of destiny or a fairytale ending.

 

All the guys at NFL films are picking the panthers to win by double digits

You are correct, I am feeling that the picks for Denver are either Peyton nostalgia, former players with more fans/friends on the Broncos staff and team, or unathletic, fat analysts like Peter Schrager with painfully over simplistic narratives like ooh wow that Broncos defense eh?  Ooh yeah defense wins championships keep Newton in the pocket Brady sacked, etc.

Meanwhile, it seems every analyst with a handle on X&O's, whether they are film guys like Greg Cossell or former coaches like Billick, are not only in the Panthers' corner, but are closer to predicting a double score win.

It could certainly happen, but Carolina definitely looks better (or at least equivalent) on paper in almost every way. That said, the game's played on the field... but I believe that the guys are prepped, focused, and ready to steamroll some Broncos on Sunday.

Generally when the number one O and Number one D meet. The D side wins. Tampa vs Raiders. Seahawks vs Denver. Some that I remember. The difference is our Defense isn't a bottom feeding defense and their offense isn't a top tier one either. 

 

I hope it's a blow out. But I don't think their D will let us score often. Not in the beginning at least.

This exactly, Denvers offense is a MAJOR libaliity for them in this game, against this defense.

Carolinas offense is by no means a liability against this Denver d.

We should be able run on Denver's defense rather well. Taking out the fact that I'm a Panthers fan I still think we should win. If I had to bet by picking the winner there is no way in hell I would pick Denver.

How in the world are experts picking against us? They don't even offer good reasons as to why we should lose. It's unfuging believable. I have to wonder if you forced these experts to put money on the game if they would change their tune. It's like when experts came out picking the Jags to beat us. What the fug? Didn't even give good reasons why we should lose. It's Panthers hate. It's hatred toward the South. Or it's inexplicable. The tip is that they don't give good reasons why they are making their pick. They give "I feel a tickle in my balls about Denver" type reasons. Unreal. They should be fired. God I would fire them in a heartbeat for being incompetent.

Denver's own coaching staff and players have to mystified to find themselves in the SB. Denver's team, just on the eyeball test, doesn't appear to have #1 anything. They must have racked up stats against teams that are complete ass. I mean horrible. We've already played and beaten the doors off of a damn slew of teams this season better than Denver.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
