What a shitty explanation. Do you even go to nfl gaf? Cause that explanation was straight ass/browns tier
 
Don't think I've ever seen so many people wearing Broncos gear in SF than over the last few days. Have yet to see anyone in Panthers gear.
 
My campus is having a big-ass watch party on Sunday, so I'm hyped as hell. The Carolinas in general would never stop partying if the Panthers can pull this off.
 
The puppies have decided

Do the panthers get to call heads or tails or do the Broncos ?
I hope riverboat Ron isn't an idiot like Bill and takes the ball at start the game

Let Peyton start the game off

Panthers are the "away" team and will call the toss. More specifically, Thomas Davis.

I haven't seen him take the ball in two years and I don't think it would start Sunday.
 
Speaking of Thomas Davis, he is expected to start and have his full workload on Sunday. With a broken arm with I don't know how many screws in it.

Isn't modern medicine great?

Howie Roseman torpedoed their chances. Even the powers of the genius, Chip Kelly, and the arm of the all-time goat qb, Sam Bradford, couldn't bring them back from the brink.

I know that you are joking but it would be very difficult to succeed if your Gm is an accountant who doesnt know anything about football, and is also extremely hard to work with. Chip finally got control of the roster but it didnt even last one year, hard to fix everything in just one offseason.
 
I've been a hard core Panthers fan since their inception. I even attended the original Hall of Fame game, although I never really post on NFL gaf.

I realize that a great many people- Panthers' fans and otherwise- expect a blowout, but despite my general optimism, I don't think it's a lock by any means. I think that we've got the better team. We have a championship caliber team on both side of the ball, but Denver's defense should not be underestimated. We can't get into a situation where they are controlling field position and allowing Manning short fields for a good portion of their possessions. Additionally, Wade Phillips is a sometimes-underrated defensive mind that is capable of putting together great game plans to account for a variety of styles. Of course the X-factor will be Cam. If they stick to predominantly man coverage with no spy (not that it may matter against Cam.) and we look to push the ball deep, extending their coverage, Cam will exploit that space with his legs, causing Denver to re-think their approach and they may have to abandon what they've done so well all year.

Also, if Manning is sure that this is his last game, he'll be amped up and focused with a possible duck-killing shot of adrenaline. He HAS to know what this game could mean for the narrative surrounding his career. Having said that, I don't think he's got the physical tools at this point to contend with Luke and co for 60 minutes. We should be able to pressure up the middle with KK, etc. If we hurry him, especially preventing his ability to step into his throws, I expect he'll have a rough day.

Could it be a blowout? Sure. But it could also be a really tight game depending on the way things unfold early on. I hope we get our first Lombardi, but I'm always uneasy until the game is out of reach. I know I'm going to be on pins and needles.

True Panthers fan.

Yeah, growing up in the middle of South Carolina, I didn't really start watching the NFL until the Panthers inaugural season. Was mainly a college football fan. Since then, though, I've been there for the ups and downs. Really, really hoping we get the win this Sunday. Either way, I'll at least be able to replace my 2003 NFC Champions shirt. I have nothing against the Broncos and actually have a lot of respect for Peyton as a quarterback, so while I'd be sad if the Panthers ended up losing, I wouldn't be as angry as having Brady do it against the Panthers again.

I know a number of people are on the "Want to see Peyton go out with a win" narrative, but one thing I haven't heard talked about that should be is that, apart from being a fan and wanting to see my team win the big game, I really think it'd be great for Jerry Richardson to see his team win the Super Bowl before he passes away. I don't think that's too far off, either.

I have mixed feelings over the years with JR, but I definitely would be happy for him if he were to get this win. He's a really stubborn man, and that has been his strength and his weakness. He will stay the course with a tenacity that sometimes defies "common" sense, but that determination is what brought us the Panthers, and he's certainly deserving of his share of credit, and then some.
 
You can not be more Super Bowl than John Elway.

Spoken like a real Panther's fan. They always, no matter the game, make my wife and I feel like we are walking on pins and needles all day. There's damn good reason for this.

I do feel, like the Broncos, the Panthers will feel the same kind of, "do or die" type of way. And in terms of ability, talent, and heart, they have the best chance possible.

I want to see this Super Bowl victory so badly. I still remember 2010 like it was yesterday with the 2-14 season. I still have my 49ers @ Panthers ticket from that year, one of two games they won. Sad, sad, year. :/

Yeah man, I know this feel well. Before both the Seattle and Arizona games I had incredible feelings of fear and dread, thinking for sure we were going to blow it because historically that's what the Panthers always do. I still have a little of this feeling going into Sunday because anything can happen in a Super Bowl, but being in the stadium for the NFC championship game showed me this team and this franchise has taken the next step. They are truly a juggernaut this season. It's not like the 96-97 and 03-04 runs where I feel the team just got hot and was playing with house money. This team is something special and I really do think this the time. Either way, I'm enjoying this fucking ride. RAWRRAWR

I just want the Super Bowl to be on right now. Longest 24 hours incoming!

Broncos bros and Carolina fucks. Whatever happens to either team just enjoy the moment it might not come again for a long time.

Go Broncos!
