NFL got its narrative

Manning rides to the sunset a toothless lion  on Von Miller's performance..a shoo in for HOF.

Good for him.  Good for the NFL.

something in me changed after that Super Bowl towards the NFL

after decades of watching the games, my observation is the NFL has a story it wants and the opposing team to overcome that narrative has to be flawless 

the panthers performance in the Super Bowl was bad enough but I would really like the NFL to explain, with the whole world watching, with cameras all over the field, with officials in the booth, with the supposed ability to call NY based officials, not one, not two, but three critical  calls were missed that absolutely helped  the outcome.

i know, the Panthers helped the implosion. Newton this, Remmers that and all the rest but three major calls?  With no plausible explanations?  With a crew that had officiated 5 other Broncos wins?

just stamp  'I'm stupid'  on my forehead.

 When I received my Panthers  invoice which went up 600 dollars from last year thanks to ticket prices and NC state tax, for the first time, I asked myself what I was doing with money worked so hard to earn.

I was always a huge fan of his as a player, going back to his college days, but I have to be honest, this super bowl experience and having MY team play patsy to the NFL, his storyline, and legacy, it has left me embittered.

He is an all-time great, he changed the game, and he is a HOFer.  All that being said, it makes it all the more difficult for me to celebrate his greatness at this point because he would've been all of those things I listed without having to benefit from a stolen super bowl win to cap off his career.  Congrats Peyton, thanks for the memories prior to this whole sham ass season of 2015, but fug Goodell and the NFL.

I am trying really hard not to feel the same way. 20 min into the Super Bowl broke my heart because I knew there was no way we would win regardless if the Panthers played the rest of the game perfectly.  It was the best season ever iced with the biggest FU Goodell and the NFL could lay on my heart.  

I wish Peyton all the best and he has a legacy that will be there forever and a future HOF ballot.  He didn't need the "gift" to cement his legacy and a part of me is still unsettled.  This SuperBowl is tainted badly for me.

Think gagging is supposed to be gauging lol. I was reading it like wtf is gagging?

Cam is a 26 year old big kid haha.

I was wondering what he was trying to say too and then I realized that it was a typo and that he meant gauging.

LMAO!

Cam is still the MAN though.

Why didn't Seattle get the memo?

      Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.

      I wake up this morning full of rage towards Ronald McDonald Rivera / Gettleman / Hurney

      I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us.

      From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
