Uninjured; Do we beat the Broncos?

[CRA]

Kelvin would have been a difference maker.  He can get open on shorter routes just using his body. 

Defensively I don't think it matters.  

I think coaching got us more than anything 

[NanuqoftheNorth]

The talent was there for the Panthers to win.

Denver had a winning game plan and executed it well. 

Even with the loss, the experience gained will make this team more competitive. 

[CRA]

Experience matters.  We didn't have it.  Players already spoke about chaos and energy being out of whack.

think of the SuperBowl as the 2013 playoff game.  Lessons learned

Doesn't matter...injuries are part of the game.  This is why the NFL is the ultimate TEAM sport because every team has to rely on backups here and there.

[OneBadCat]

We absolutely beat them with Kelvin Benjamin

[Jmac]

We got our asses beat because of a inept offense, not the defense.

Easy answer yes.

Even though they didn't get much in the passing game.  With Peanut and Bene, they would have been completely blanked i  the passing game and would've given the rushers another second or 2 to hit and cause fumbles much like we did vs Arizona and Denver did vs us.

With KB, Cam threw several passes over the heads of the WR's when under pressure.  KB may have plucked some of those and continued the drive.  just his size and presence out there.  He could've easily made several catches that helped drives going, keeping Denvers D on the field and tougher to pin back stack the box and blitz.  It would've been a much different.  Think we would've won a tight one.

No. The problem was the offensive line.
