Manning winning a SB as a Trent Dilfer impersonator would be quite a story.

SirFozzie · 01-24-2016, 05:36 PM

Congrats to the Broncos. They played better. We were lucky to be in it at the end

Never fails for a missed extra point to come into play at the end.

jeff061 · 01-24-2016, 05:36 PM

Pats got what they deserved for backing into the playoffs. Denver played a great game and deserved to win. Congrats to them.

Ben E Lou · 01-24-2016, 05:37 PM

Edward64 · 01-24-2016, 05:37 PM

Yup, congrats Bronco and Peyton.

For once, Bellichick lost the game with the "no kicking" FG.

That was so frustrating to watch, but I did say 'well it is Bellichick, he'll probably be right.'

OMG!! Her face!!

Marmel · 01-24-2016, 05:51 PM

Manning 3-1 vs Brady in AFC title games. I like the sound of that!

bhlloy · 01-24-2016, 05:51 PM

Not kicking the FG to go to a 5 point game with that much time left really is a horrible move though, no matter who you are and who your QB is - especially when you saw what the Denver front did to him all game.

TroyF · 01-24-2016, 05:52 PM

My thoughts on the game:

1) I guess pissed off Brady can't win every game himself. What a shock.

2) The excuses the Patriots (players, this is not directed at anyone on this board) gave last game was garbage reffing and injuries. Well, if the two Denver safeties were not hurt, the game never gets to where it did. Second, Von Miller was held on just about every single Patriots play in the final 5 minutes of the game. It was comical. The stunning thing is he was still getting there.

3) Manning is now 3-1 against Brady in AFC Championship games. (no, Manning didn't win this game, but when NE beats Manning due to a better defense he gets the credit so fair is fair)

4) Even with the 2 4th down miracles, the Patriots went 4-19 on 3rd or 4th down situations. The Patriots went a combined 6-33 in those situations in the two games in Denver this year. There isn't really a need to go into any further stat than that one right there. Against the rest of the NFL the Patriots converted 43.98% of the time in those situations this year. Against the Denver defense, they converted 18.18% Game over.

5) The Broncos will be underdogs in the Superbowl vs no matter who they play. The gameplan will need to stay the exact same way as today. Limit turnovers, be good on third downs and keep running the football. (even if you don't get yards, run it no matter what) This defense will keep them in the game. (I'm assuming both safeties will be ready) The offense will need to do something.

JonInMiddleGA · 01-24-2016, 05:55 PM

Against 'Zona, I think Denver at least has a chance.
Against Carolina, things might get really really really ugly.

Tough decision because they hadn't really been moving the ball the whole game. Either way it was both a good and bad decision at the same time. #Heisenberg

Radii · 01-24-2016, 06:06 PM

I'm loving the pressure from the Carolina D so far.

bhlloy · 01-24-2016, 06:10 PM

Refs letting a lot go in this one so far

I agree. . . but the gameplan can't change no matter who it is. Just like today, Denver really only has one way to win the football game. They try to do anything other than make the game ugly and they'll get throttled.

What the hell, I've dealt with plenty of Super Bowl blowouts before. Cowboys, Giants, Washington, 49ers, Seattle. . . . I've lived through all of them.

I will say that nothing would shock me with this defense. It's the real deal and has kept Denver in just about every game this season. (only KC was a two score game and it was only 29-13 despite the Chiefs starting field position being over the 50 yard line)

Panthers look scary good though.

cthomer5000 · 01-24-2016, 06:22 PM

The Cardinals called that one straight out the Tecmo Super Bowl playbook.

cthomer5000 · 01-24-2016, 06:25 PM

...that play never worked in Tecmo either.

Eaglesfan27 · 01-24-2016, 06:27 PM

Carolina looks scary good.

cuervo72 · 01-24-2016, 06:27 PM

Dang, he reared back on that one.

frnk55 · 01-24-2016, 06:27 PM

Yikes. Might be time to watch some netflix

bronconick · 01-24-2016, 06:30 PM

If I turn this off, are they going to fall asleep in the second half?

NobodyHere · 01-24-2016, 06:38 PM

I'm starting to miss Manning vs Brady

I'd just recommend not turning it off given recent history :P

miami_fan · 01-24-2016, 06:55 PM

That was perfect execution of the Daniel Bryan running knee by the Arizona TE.

Radii · 01-24-2016, 07:01 PM

Davis isn't quite as important as Kuechly or Norman, but that is a big injury for Carolina

TroyF · 01-24-2016, 07:02 PM

Good lord.

cthomer5000 · 01-24-2016, 07:03 PM

I always enjoy a guy signaling "my bad" when there is zero debate about whose fault something was.

NobodyHere · 01-24-2016, 07:03 PM

*facepalm*

cuervo72 · 01-24-2016, 07:05 PM

1. I *think* they might have been checking if #42 touched the ball while he was out of bounds.
2. Did Ginn even SEE that ball?

I was yelling that at the screen/my wife. NO CRAP it was your fault, Peterson!

cthomer5000 · 01-24-2016, 07:19 PM

That was a hilarious few minutes.

well that got weird to end the half.

I luv it! Sounds about what was coming out of Pats camp prior the game sowould be great for Denver. Frankly I could care less who wins the SB 50 this was the SB thi s afternoon for us ;-)

tucker rocky · 01-24-2016, 07:25 PM

Arizona shooting themselves in the foot.

Peterson muffs the punt,
Carolina scores TD,
Palmer fumbles the ball,
Newton throws INT,
Peterson returns to put them in excellent scoring range,
Palmer throws INT.

Thomkal · 01-24-2016, 07:36 PM

pretty disgusted with Palmer and the Cards right now. Just when I thought they were getting into a rhythm, the Peterson fumble was just horrible.

Radii · 01-24-2016, 07:46 PM

I would have liked to see a TD but burning 7 minutes and getting points to open the second half feels really important.

JAG · 01-24-2016, 08:02 PM

Holy Cam.

I feel your pain. This looks a lot like almost every Bengals playoff game since Palmer left.

cthomer5000 · 01-24-2016, 08:37 PM

Arizona never really showed up for this one.

Thomkal · 01-24-2016, 08:41 PM

well I've seen enough. Congrats to the Panthers and their fans. At least I'll have a team to root for in the Super Bowl.

Atocep · 01-24-2016, 08:42 PM

Greg Olsen is going to end his career with a legit HoF case. I doubt he gets in, but if he played in a bigger market he'd be a lock with a Super Bowl win.
