I see this Super Bowl being very much like the Denver-Seattle one, Carolina is gonna kill them.

 

Maybe. Everyone thought New England was going to kill Denver too. Denver's D really impressed me today. I knew it was great, but they way they were able to consistently get to Brady was really impressive. I think Carolina is certainly playing extremely well and should definitely be the favorites but I'm not counting Denver out at this point.

Comes down to Manning. The Manning that showed today could allow Denver to win. He didn't turn it over and managed the storm.

 

That said, he's a rigid statue these days and Carolina's D is fast. Meanwhile, Cam can move. Both defenses will get pressure. The few times Cam escapes for big gains will probably be the difference.

It might not have mattered but the Patrick Peterson muffed punt seemed like a turning point. Arizona had just scored to cut it to 17-7, they get a quick stop and are going to get the ball around midfield. But Peterson fumbles and Carolina goes right down for a TD to go back up 17 and Arizona never got closer the rest of the way.

You know who else's defense was really good coming into today? Arizona

I'm about as confident as one could reasonably be about my team right now, but I was 100% certain New England was going to drill Denver. Dawson is right that if Manning is able to play an adequate game as he did yesterday, the Broncos have a chance.

Manning was terrible and was the main reason the game was close. He threw it up for grabs and receivers made plays. He was able to hit a wide open Daniel's twice.

This is the 1st time Manning has had to rely on his defense to carry him to win games. It's fun to see the old man get this shot with the worst QB play he's ever had. I completely disagree with the Carolina has this easy talk. Peyton made some weak throws but Sanders ruined a perfectly thrown ball that would have been a ~30 yard touchdown or so by stutter-stepping when he shouldn't have. He's still plenty capable.

It just dawned on me how the ending of the Pats-Broncos game was similar to the end of the Bears-Broncos game earlier this year.

 

yesterday, Pats down 20-12 in the 4th, had 4th down within FG range twice, and failed to convert both times instead of kicking a FG, ended up scoring a TD with seconds remaining but failed the 2 point conversion and couldn't recover the onside kick

 

In December, Bears were down 17-9 in the 4th, had a 4th down within FG range once, failed to convert instead of kicking a FG, scored a TD with seconds remaining but failed the 2 point conversion and didn't recover onside kick.

 

Doesn't mean anything but thought it was mildly interesting enough to draw the parallel between the 2 games against the same team.

Take a look at the playoffs the one year a Peyton led team won the Super bowl. His defense carried him. Forced at least three turnovers in all 4 games and averaged four per. Peyton meanwhile had double the turnovers than touchdowns.

Ya he benefited from good defense for his super bowl win but he was a monsterously good qb then. Most of his playoff runs he was throwing lights out to get as far as he did. This time he's truly just a game manager.

Peyton has very rarely played lights out in the playoffs. Most of the time his team fails to reach the level they should because he turns in a pumpkin in the playoffs.
