Von Miller: The Panthers were the better team

[GEM]

That's great for him to say. It's painful for me. I have been a long time Vikings fan and love Panthers fan too. 0-6 . I am over it though. Still love them! But, I thought we got out coached that game and knew it the first drive. Sometimes you have to grab opportunity by the throat.

Damn I had deleted this day from my memory.

Shula does not beat Wade Phillips 8 times out of 10. Dude was hot garbage.

I can deal with the loss in ‘03. I cannot deal with the loss in ‘15, so I block it out. We were supposed to win that shyt. Thankful Von validates that.
 

I remember at the start when the refs missed the call on the cotchery catch, my child’s mother looking over at me, saying the game was over. Refs weren’t going to let us win this game. She was right. That opener in 2016 was a travesty, and I still haven’t fully recovered after it.

The team was overconfident. I listened to the talk from the players and it was as if the game was only a formality. All week. Denver players hear that. I knew it was bad juju to be doing that.

We were for sure the better team.

I still have PTSD from that fuging game. Ugh.

[ChibCU]

I have a legitimate fear that we'll never have a better chance. I don't want to live another five decades and never see the Panthers win a Super Bowl.

Yeah I can agree with that. I also feel like much of the BS calls came from the refs and the league having bias against Cam. I think the fact that Cam wasn't an awe shucks try hard traditional QB rubbed the old crusty zebras the wrong way and chose not to protect him. Which just shows the lack of integrity on the official's part. Cam should have been able to be as unabashedly himself as he damn well please and you still call the game fair and square. 

And if anyone thinks thats a tin foil hat theory, just look at what the refs did when they finally made PI challengeable. They essentially boycotted it and turned down every challenge despite the clear evidence overturning PI. These people don't like being told their wrong because they get high on power trips. 

Believe me when I say the NFL didn't want a black QB that wasn't a Russell Wilson "uncle Tom" type of person being the star of the NFL. They just want their yes sir and be thankful for what you have type of minority QB.

I know I'm biased being a Panthers fan, but I don't think I've ever seen a QB get so few calls on penalty worthy hits in my life... The fact that Cam stayed healthy as long as he did is truly remarkable. I really wish he had a halfway competent staff while he was here

Preaching to choir here. I've said the same thing for years. It's a real shame too. Cam deserved better and was ahead of his time. 

I loved Cam's confidence and his ego. He brought pride and arrogance to the Panthers for the first time. He made us feel like we deserved to be winners and not have to ask for it. Shame on the NFL for allowing such a piss poor display. I hope Cam speaks out on it one day.

I have no problem rewatching highlights of 38, or even the full game if it's on.

Not 50 though. I wouldn't watch a single moment of that even at gunpoint

Same here.

Well said. I hope he does too.

It always amazes me how so many white guys (as a white guy himself) absolutely hated cam because he was a kid at heart. The dude literally gave his all every single play and should deservingly have celebrated every first day on after all of the hits he took. Yet, every old fart hated him because of it...

 

I will say... I teach and it amazes me how many kids loved Cam from 2013-2018ish years. It really sucks that TJ Watt broke his shoulder

[kungfoodude]

I literally said the entire time that the Broncos were so CLEARLY the worst team we had played all playoffs. They didn't have any semblance of an offense whatsoever and were led by the worst QB in the NFL that season. 

But, we had an inflexible coaching staff that couldn't stop beating their heads against the same wall.  And the absolute jobbing the NFL was giving us.

I hope there comes a day where we never discuss this cruel joke of a game ever again
