Super Bowl 50: Denver Broncos vs. Carolina Panthers

[ggsimmonds]

Really looking forward to this SB. I'm rooting for the Broncos but will not be upset if the Panthers win.

Most of all I want a good game.

I think the key for Denver will be to not let Carolina get off to a big start like they have been doing in these playoffs. I think if it is a one possession game at halftime I really like Denver's chances.

The next two weeks are gonna be unbearable. Over/Under on the number of letters to newspapers about Cam Newton....I'll set the number at 3.

Actually looking forward to the Super Bowl this year. Media day should be great with Cam.

I'm interested to see how the Carolina OL will fare against Denver's pass rush. If Von and Ware are just going to speed upfield, there could be a LOT of running room for Cam.

The Panthers went from one of the worst blocking OLs last year, to one of the better ones this year, with only Oher added in. I'm not sure what changed, but they have probably been the biggest reason for Cam's maturation and the Panthers' offensive success this season.

To be fair, the only new blood (as far as quarterbacks goes) is Cam Newton.

This is Manning's 4th Super Bowl in 10 years, and 2 in 3 years.

Once we reached the divisional round, there was a 75% chance of the AFC representative having played in the Super Bowl in the past 10 years.

I was just telling someone that a mobile QB by himself can be an answer to the pass rush. Like you said if our edge rushers just shoot downfield Cam might just take off and take 6 yards at a time until that rush is forced to slow down. I'd like to think Wolfe or Jackson could be there to corral him on some of those.

Definitely gonna be fun to watch

Lot of fresh faces for Denver this time around though. I didn't think we were just talking QBs

I'm picking the Panthers but I'm rooting hard for Denver.

The main objective has been accomplished already though - no Patriots.
