If Carolina coaching staff actually thought that, they should be severely reprimanded or fired. They all had two weeks to see how Denver shredded Tom Brady’s thereto invincible pass attack. They should have prepared accordingly and had the perfect answer - the same answer they had to beat Seattle: mostly run the ball with double and triple options and misdirection. Instead they played like they were blind deaf and dumb to who they were playing and what their own strengths were.
As far as Carolina’s side went, it wasn’t about Cam Newton, it was about the coaching staff handing them a lousy game plan.
Some shows the day after the SB mentioned the injury; he might have had a strained ankle or foot. Simms and Nantz mentioned the problem as well.
Well the Panther’s would say that that was that and the Bronco’s are no where near good enough to defeat us since we’re so good with Cam and all they have is an almost forty QB.
