Can this defense win a Superbowl?

When I see how this team has to win I think about The 2015 Broncos. Great defense and just enough offense to get it done. Sure, this formula can win, but remember that Denver should have been eliminated that year in Pittsburgh if not for a fumble.When you play this style of ball against good to great teams, you're going to need some breaks/turnovers to go your way to win.

The Bucs offense is actually one of the best in the league. 

 

They were held to 3 points at home. It just does not get much better than that. 

 

Can this Panthers defense get us to the promise land like the Ravens Superbowl team? Why not?

Yes they can and it’s thanks to Ron Rivera.

I don't think so. The difference between those other teams and us is A) Those other teams produced turnovers at a pretty high rate and B) were able to overcome poor field position their offenses put them in with stops or not allowing scoring opportunities. As of right now, over 57% of this team's turnovers (INT + Fumbles) are converted into points by the other teams (14 turnovers has resulted 8 scoring drives via TD or FG). 

The other factor is IF this team gets a lead, the auto-prevent mentality that Rivera goes to makes this defense suspect and has too often resulted in games coming down to the last second. 

So until turnovers start to increase and the defense plays aggressive from start to finish, they aren't Superbowl caliber.

    • It's definitely a historical issue at QB but to be perfectly blunt, we also don't do a good job of really developing almost any position if you look at the last decade or so. I tend to be on the side of that being far less a development issue than an evaluation deficiency.  I think we are in the situation at QB2/3 recently due to the overall roster being absolutely abhorrent and the QB classes being quite thin. It is harder to justify another Matt Corral(or several) when you can potentially get a real two deep contributor at other positions.  But, it was a lot of hard work to get to the point where are roster is so incredibly bad that luxury picks literally are not in our vocabulary.  This is the reaping what you sow portion of our history.
    • That is what I meant about our front office. They are like someone filling out a March Madness bracket based on preference of uniform colors and mascots. There's no rhyme of reason to some of these fugg'n mind numbing decisions they make.  They go all in on these flimsy-@ss prospects and are gun shy when it comes to more solid prospects.  It's literally maddening and the reason I stopped being so emotionally involved in this team. Heck the only reason I'm active on the board today is one, it's my day off and two, it's cut down time.
