Denver Broncos Vs Carolina Panthers
(Excerpt) Read more at espn.go.com ...
It seems just yesterday that my Cowboys were on a roll... and on their way to Super Bowl 50--
And yet now-- Now, after my Boys were carted off the field... to NFL Injury Hell--
It comes down to a remake of... High Noon...
With old Sheriff... Manning--
Having to face down that young whippersnapper Cam... and his gang of bad boys.
Well, I am going with my heart and picking Old Man Manning... to cap his career with a second Super Bowl Win.
Of course, his #1 Mule Defense will have to give stopping Cam their undivided attention.
We have an extra week here, so y'all... drink--
And make Mary--
"Oh Rob... I have to go sleep with everyone on the NFL Live Thread again!"
And we'll see ya... down the road.
I’m of two minds. I’m an NFC guy, so I always root for the NFC over the AFC, unless the NFC rep is either the Cowboys or 49ers. I don’t mind a new team getting a championship, even though I have no love for the Panthers.
On the other hand, I have a genuine fear that Peyton Manning will only retire after his limbs are actually torn from his torso unless he gets a ring with another team. It’s sort of an Oral Roberts pity play, but it plays to me a bit.
I’m afraid it’s going to be a blowout by the Panthers. I haven’t watched the Panthers much this year and wasn’t aware until yesterday how much Cam lets his “urban” come out. It’s a turnoff to me, though he is obviously a great quarterback. I will be pulling for the Broncs yet fully expect them to lose big.
Starting a live thread two weeks early, Bender?
i was greatly impressed by the broncos defense... and believe they can shut the camster down... for the old man ning... one last time.
dab that you panther...

Egads!
The Mules shut-dwon a pass-heavy offense...Ware was spectacular.
But, can the staff of the CamNewtonians arrange to stop that onslaught? I’m thinking...NOT.
Mules, on the superiority of their pass-rush/blitz.
hello?
are we still live?
kenneth?
what’s the frequency, kenneth?
Well, Jack-- Since you were on each and ever one of the other 21 NFL Live Threads all this season with concise, pithy comments galore--
I'll give your above comment... its due consideration
Super Bowl 50? Last year it was XLIX. What happened? Does the NFL think that most Americans do not know that L is the Roman numeral for 50? But then again reading the news, they are probably right. After all XLIX has more letters than L.

My fearless prediction concerning yesterday’s games was that the Broncos D would emasculate the Patriots for a blowout, and the Cards would learn from their previous week’s mistakes and beat the Panthers in a close game. Since I’m 0-2, I think I’ll keep my mouth shut about 50.
Since I’ve lived in Indy all my life and have been a Colts fan since they came to town I’ve got a real soft spot for Payton - I’ll be rooting for the Broncos. I don’t think they can beat the Panthers but I didn’t think they could beat the Pats either, so who knows. I just want to see Payton get that second ring so he doesn’t have to take crap from Eli around the dinner table when the family gets together for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Cam celebrates every time he does anything, at all. He wanted to be a cheerleader but was too big so they made him a QB.
“Denver Broncos Vs Carolina Panthers”
That should be “Carolina Panthers Vs Denver Broncos”.
Small point, I realize, but the Panther uniforms are prettier than the Bronco uniforms. Besides, Peyton Manning is old.
Cam’s “urban”? You mean his joy of the game and how he supports his team mates and loves the crowds? Go Panthers!
The last team Denver faced a mobile quarterback with a stifling defense in a Super Bowl it didn’t work out so well. That said, I’ll be rooting for Peyton, if only to be spared watching a Bret Favre-like horror show next season.
