That Denver team is even better (dirtier?) than last year, and we moved the ball even better and SHOULD have won. We arguably played the HARDEST team on our schedule and only lost by 1 on the road. I'm liking our outlook.

Yep. 15 more games to be played. And this was one of our 4 toughest this season.

And if not for the offical assistance they had we would have won.  Piss on the bullshit!  That's the only readon they won!!!!

Coupe things I see

Why is Bradberry who supposed to have been brought in for his size, getting his hands on the receiver after 5 yards. Soon as the ball hike, he should be jamming

Denver front line can get to the QB, but the Panthers are helping them even more with Cam holding the ball for 4-5 secs. 7th round pick was dumping the ball off to his HB. They took what the defense gave them

Turnovers, like the SB. We turn the ball over on our side of the field. Broncos turned the ball over on their side of the field.

Field position, Ron Rivera has lost the concept of playing field position since our offense became high powered around the middle of last year to this year. Denver scores, you're still up 3 but they have the momentum and they're at home. You're on your side of the field, what you don't want is a turnover mostly in a sack fumble or interception. You signed a punter who can EASILY flip the field. You run on 1st down, pick up 6 yards. Next play you decide to throw it, which if you study the Panthers you'll see they like to throw those slants and Ward sees its, reacts and causes a turnover on our side of the field

1. You run 3 straight times, get stuffed and rely on the punter you just fuging signed to do his job. Boom that poo. Force Denver O to drive the field and score

2. If you do decide to throw it, why not take a shot deep? The worst that can happen is your throw an INT, but atleast it'll be on the Broncos side of the field. The best that can happen? You catch it and flip the field OR you get a pass interference.

That's just critical football thinking. I dont know what Ron and Shula together be thinking. Ron mentioned plenty of times he likes to let his coaches do them and just pinch in every now and then I believe it more and more. Cause a lot of decisions made aren't Ron like and watching him on the sideline, it doesn't look like he's engaged at all. Just watching

Thanks for the link. I didn't get a chance to watch the game live, so it was nice to watch even though I already knew the outcome.

After watching I came away thinking that we should have won that game; we played better for most of the game and had things under control through 3 quarters. Momentum just flipped in the 4th (maybe the altitude?), but we had plenty of opportunities to end the game. Bradberry and Kony both had interception opportunities late but couldn't make the play and Gano should make that kick. If he does things look a lot rosier.

Overall, we looked like a very good team that should beat most other teams as long as we keep the dominance up for 4 quarters. Even though we lost I still feel like this team has a better than average shot at the playoffs.

Denver, on the other hand, will probably be a fringe playoff team. I think as more tape comes out their offense will be even worse and after owning their D in fantasy the last few years I can tell you they don't play as well when they aren't in primetime. To me, Denver this year seems a lot like the Texans back when Schaub was at the helm.

I feel like the first half passes were coming out quickly. Then the second half that stopped.

Completely agree. I truly feel we have a great team. We have some issues to correct but as long as Cam stays healthy, we have a chance to win it all. 

Many of you can't see it right now, not having gotten over that brutal loss yet. 

This next game will tell us a lot about this team.

      Canales is holding us back

      Yeah I was crying about this earlier in the year when we got to 6 wins. Equal number to Wilks.  We are still a QB away.

      The Hall of Fame case for two different NFC South quarterbacks

      By Verge · Posted

      Hey y'all, a topic that has been on my mind has always been the parallels between two of the best quarterbacks in the history of the NFC South and ultimately their place in history and how they are viewed moving forward through the rest of NFL history. These two quarterbacks as you might have guessed are their respective franchises greatest signal callers, Cam Newton and Matt Ryan.  Cam Newton (144 Games Started): 269 TDs (1.8 per contest), 123 INTs, Super Bowl Appearance, OROTY, MVP  Matt Ryan (234 Games Starter):  394 TDs (1.6 per contest), 183 INTs, Super Bowl Appearance, OROTY, MVP  Obviously on first glance, these are very similar players with identical top accomplishments. Let's zoom in a little bit on their surrounding talent. C Cam Newton top offensive producers:  Greg Olsen (TE) (9 Seasons) (3 Pro Bowls) Steve Smith Sr. (WR) (3 Seasons) (1 Pro Bowl) Matt Ryan top offensive producers:  Julio Jones (WR) (10 Seasons) (7 Pro Bowls)  Roddy White (WR) (8 Seasons) (4 Pro Bowls)  Tony Gonzalez (TE) (5 Seasons) (4 Pro Bowls)  Wow, quite the difference here. Through Cam's career his top option was Greg Olsen, who was one of the best tight ends of his generation and a real difference maker in an offense reliant on their quarterback making plays outside of structure. Newton post Steve Smith Sr was saddled with a revolving door of Chicken McNobodies at the receiver position and the offense had to be funneled through the tight end and running attack as Jericho Cotchery, Corey Brown, Jason Avant, Kelvin Benjamin, etc was not getting the job done. Ryan on the other hand was consistently surrounded with top level offensive weapons, including one of the best receivers and tight ends in the history of the game, thanks in part to an aggressive general manager who wanted to ensure they could maximize the arm talent of their franchise quarterback.  How about protection?  Cam Newton top offensive lineman: Jordan Gross (3 Seasons) (1 Pro Bowl)  Ryan Kalil (8 Seasons) (2 Pro Bowls) Andrew Norwell (4 Seasons)  Trai Turner (6 Seasons) (5 Pro Bowls) Matt Ryan top offensive lineman:  Jake Matthews (8 Seasons) (1 Pro Bowl)  Alex Mack (5 Seasons) (3 Pro Bowls)  Andy Levitre (3 Seasons)  Todd McLure (5 Seasons)  While Matt Ryan certainly had more consistency and high level talent on his offensive line, one could argue they had similar protection through the bulk of their career. Though one has to acknowledge some of the absolute dog water lineman that were trot out to protect Newton at his tackle spots post Jordan Gross retirement. Byron Bell, Mike Remmers, Matt Kalil, Chris Clark, Amini Silatolu, Nate Chandler, etc were all a collective pile of garbage save for two seasons from Remmers and a few splashes of brilliance from Michael Oher, Daryl Williams, and early career Taylor Moton.  Defense should be fairly simple.  Cam Newton defense average rank:  17th/32 Matt Ryan defense average rank:  18th/32  Honestly I was a bit surprised by this, I had thought Cam consistently had the better defenses, but when you look at the average it's shockingly close. While Newton did have the higher peaks of defense, Atlanta placed higher more consistently and only really faltered towards the end of Ryan's career. Both these players had on and off again defenses to rely on.  So what does all this mean?  1. I am bored at work  2. Cam Newton has the better body of work given the talent around him  While I am not sure either is necessarily a lock to get a gold jacket, it's undeniable that Newton carried his franchise on his back for the better part of his career and changed how quarterbacks are viewed as a whole. Newton became the blueprint for a new breed of signal caller, and Ryan is the standard that is set for pocket quarterbacks in the modern league. Both players deserve their kudos for what they did for their franchises and how they morphed their team's identity, but Newton I think was clearly the better of the NFC South quarterbacks, especially if he had remained as healthy as Ryan did.

      100% agree, trading him would be the best possible scenario. It allows for a clean start at QB and you get something back.
