Uninjured; Do we beat the Broncos?

[CarolinaAllDay]

Add KB, Bene, Tillman and a full strength TD. Does the outcome change? 

[Swaggasaurus]

No, McClain and Finnegan played well. Peanut, he was a coverage liability in hindsight, but maybe could've forced another TO. Better O tackles and coaching, that's all that it would've taken

[rodeo]

No, none of those players fill position we got beaten at. Our RT wasn't hurt and our OC wasn't hurt.

[NanuqoftheNorth]

There is no need for additional help.

Protect the ball a bit better and the team that showed up yesterday could have beaten the Broncos.

[Randolph Panther]

I disagree.  I think we would beat them if we lined up and played em tonight.  We beat ourselves.  Im not taking anything a way from them but we beat ourselves.  Take away there first TD and give us a TD to start the second and we win.  People can pick on me but I will go to the grave believing we are the better team.

[Goondal]

Remmers, Tolbert, Cotchery, and Shula we the four that screwed us and they would have played either way.

Now I have no idea how much Stew's injury hindered him or if we woud have done better with him 100% but with Shula calling the plays and Cotchery dropping the ball in key moments I doubt it matters.

Benjamin would have helped, big target to throw it to.  But still need time to throw

[Wolfpredator]

Nahhh, don't think it would have changed the outcome.  I honestly think we just had a poor game plan in place and did not adjust after it was not working.  It has also been mentioned that Shula took over the offense completely and did not let Cam do much.

I think we lost because of the preparation that comes with being in the Superbowl.  The Denver defense did their homework and have two HOF caliber pass-rushers.  The Panthers expected a couple street free agents to block them.  The Panthers had to come up with something different than usual to win against those guys.

[Dunn]

Defense wasn't the problem at all, and adding KB wouldn't have helped that much.  I'd rather us do a rewind and replan that game.  We could have beaten that team with a solid game plan.

[Doyle]

If you guys want to day dream a scenario where we would win feel free.  We lost now on to next season.

This. I said before the game we would beat them 7/10 times and I still feel the same way. Hats off to them though because they won the only game that counted. This isnt the NBA where the better team always wins because you get 7 games to prove it

[QueensKing]

Mental mistakes, sloppiness killed us.  That wouldn't change.  Our RT and protection would've been exactly the same.  Fumbles, penalties, passes that weren't caught and passes that weren't on target killed us.  Our mental focus wasn't where it needed to be.

I'm sure there are hundreds of reasons why we lost and why we could win.

I think part of it was just too much for the team.  Cam and Ron won MVP and Coach of the year the day before.  There was the media, hype and being away from home for a week.  The start and stop schedule of play between the team coming out and the actual game.  it just all seemed to throw the team off it's rhythm.  Denver had been through it 2 years before.

I'm still very positive about the future of this team.  The core will remain intact and I'm excited about seeing Funchess and Benjamin on the field at the same time.  On to the draft..
