1st time starter or not he's better physically then the shell of Peyton hobbling around in Santa clara...maybe you should change that to if we let Von Miller wreck poo again because that's what it boils down to

At least losing to Peyton has some merit behind it.

We historically struggle against first time starters.  Why? Because no tape on him to specifically game plan against. It's more of a game plan against Denvers system. Also, this is the same team basically that beat us last year with Peyton Mannings arm damn near about to fall off. 

The Denver D-line is diminshed form the Superbowl with Malik Jackson gone. He almost has to be double teamed.  Also Ware is a ? mark at this point.  But Von Miller is still Von Miller and he basically won that game by himself.  The teams that can man up are going to give us trouble.  Especially those who man on the outside and "bracket" Olsen.  Most teams can't do that, but Denver is one of the few that can.  FYI that's what New England was doing as well. 

I think we will win just based off of our WR play being better, but not if we get all the drops and overthrows we saw in the New England game.  Will be interesting to see.  However if we can beat that style of defense ( I'm not worried about the defense per say, except against division opponents), then I don't know how anyone can beat us at that point.

So I think we'll all be disappointed if we do lose based on a few things:

1. If we are unable to correct the mistakes from the Super Bowl - dealing with the Blue/Green Blitzes and delaying Von Miller.  Denver's Defense is still quite good, especially their coverage guys with their pass rush.

2. If we make a bunch of dumb mistakes.  We know the rookies are going to have some moments, but we need to eliminate the ST penalties, offensive dum-dums (false starts, holding, PI), and we need to run the ball effectively.

Look, if he Siemian goes crazy and completes 80% of his passes, guys keep getting one handed grabs, and otherwise have plays dropped on them (you know about the game of inches part); what can we do?  I expect us to be a winning team, to win more games than we lose, and to do so with style.  

Sometimes, it just isn't your day (ah Super Bowl).  I would hate to start the season out that way, but if we do, we do.

Even the shell of Peyton is still smarter than any QB in the league. yes, his arm was toast but he still could read defense and put his team in positions to win. Siemian is not at that place yet.

If we lose to Sieman week 1 it will be because of the exact same reason we lost the Super Bowl and that will be disappointing. We still have the more talented team and if we get out-coached in 2 straight games I will be very disappointed. However, I will not let week 1 dictate how I think this season is going to go.

If Siemian lights us up, we are deep sh*t. 

 

Peyton has seen every type defense, every type blitz or zone scheme imaginable so comparing with Siemian whose making his first start is pretty ludicrous.

IMO we are gonna be able to run the ball on them and control the game for a dominant victory

I still believe we beat the Broncos by 30 week 1

Let me start by saying I think the Panthers have an excellent chance of winning.  I'm not counting this as an automatic loss for the Broncos, however.  I believe this will be a close, hard-fought game, and the Broncos excel at winning those.  They set an NFL record with 11 wins by 7 or fewer points last season.  The only team in 19 games last season to post 30 on the scoreboard against the Broncos was the Steelers, and they had a lot of help from the Broncos offense.  

I have no trouble with Panther fans predicting a win, but believing they will put up 30 points, let alone win by 30, is delusional.

Meh, we might lose.  Thursday night. Opening night in Mile High Stadium. Broncs are raising the banner.  We are starting a secondary that ranks near the bottom of the league.  The crowd will be insanely loud giving Von an extra step on our OTs.  Our guys will probably be sucking wind due to altitude.  The Panthers aren't walking into a bed of roses to watch soft porn on their smart phones here.

How are we going to run the ball?  They were basically run blitzing in our traditional run formations, they didn't need to do outside contain because their DE's were eating up our tackles.  Stewart averaged 2.4 yards per carry. The only person who had success running was Cam.  The only person they needed help with as far as coverage was Ginn.  Everyone else got manned.  I think we are going to win, but dominant victory?  I'm not sure how you come up with that.

Yea but simion can give the old head nod to dermarious and throw it up as far as he can with a rookie in coverage and it'll be a hell of a lot further than anything Peyton could muster...I'm not saying the sky is falling I'm just saying this game Prbly ain't the blow out gimmie that some people are predicting. Its gonna be a battle and we need to bring our A game or the direct opposite of what happened earlier this year

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
