Want To See The Super Bowl 50 Crowd Firsthand?

...or just want to see yourself assuming you attended the game.

This is the best firsthand representation of the horrid sea of orange. 
As I've explained to others, geographically it was an obvious advantage for Denver. 
The fact that they are a historic franchise that is passed down through generations doesn't help.

I'm proud of the Panther Fans that were able to make the trip. Hopefully you still had an amazing experience.

I was there. Probably 85-90% Bronco fans and it sounded like that too. 

No it wasn't. 65-35 at the most and I still think that's high. There were definitely more Broncos fans but Panthers fans did a fine job representing considering it was more of a logistics challenge to travel.

At one point, I did have to leave my seat to go and find some advil - I was in the nosebleeds and got somewhat dehydrated (first aid station gave me advil and water).  When I came back into the bowl, I could clearly hear the Keep Pounding chant - even done properly with one part of the stadium doing Keep and the other part doing pounding.  I heard it often during the game as well as the Let's Go Panthers chants, but this time really stuck me because I was not in the middle of it.  Panthers fans represented well.

They were all over the city and the panthers pep rally at Superbowl City was packed as well as the Roaring Riot Tailgate (I met Montsta there - sought him out since I brought him a towel from the 1st playoff game and the bandana from the NFCCG).  And during the game, I sat right smack in front of cookingwithgas - I knew him as Wedge back in my old days on the huddle  - have even been to his house when the Hawk Boys came to town. We had both figured out in advance that we'd be sitting like that.  The Panthers DJ sat 2 rows in front of me so I was glad to see that he made it to the game.

Couple of bright spots from the trip: 

All Stubhub ticket purchasers got free entry into California's Great America (similar to a Six Flags theme park). It was only open for Stubhub purchasers. Everything was free. Only a few of the rides were closed. But every skill game, arcade game, and all the food, even the Dippin' Dots, were free. After we left, they had a meet and greet/autograph session with some current and former players. Pretty sure Howie Long and Tiki Barber were there. There were hardly any people in the park, so you could just walk up to any ride and get on.

We had no idea, so this was a nice surprise. Of course, we paid for it in the form of the Stubhub service fee, which was $500 or so a ticket, but we were going to pay that anyway. 

Everyone with anything to do with the game, including the Stubhub folks and the volunteers at the stadium, were really nice and energetic. They all seemed interested in making you happy to be at the Super Bowl. 

Couple low points: 

1) Levi's Stadium - totally underwhelming. I got the impression it was done on the cheap. Makes you appreciate BOA, for sure. The distance from San Fran is ridiculous. About an hour car ride from downtown San Fran. Might as well change the name of the team to Santa Clara, San Jose, or Bay Area. 

2) The Game.

I was looking for everyone and posted up in multiple threads trying to find people from here!

I was with KissMyConverse and Free Fua. There were several other Huddlers there but now I can't recall if I know people from the Huddle, Twitter, or IRL. The all blend together.

    • 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.
