12 (twice). Yards 133. Here.
It is a great defensive game, but you can’t help but wonder how it would be different if Peyton was in his prime, and Carolina had a good WR.
But that’s the reality of the parity era, it’s not possible to have a team without a weakness.
Denver D is ruling this game. Panthers are making every mistake they can, which is not the way they played all year. Credit Denver. Miller and Ware are outplaying Carolina.
But you know, you mentioned dropped passes, and I don’t remember seeing a lot that didn’t have a defender involved. Your other critique is off-target passes, and as often as not, those are caused by the defense. I really don’t get it. You think offenses can just play horribly, and it never has nothing to do with how well the defenses are playing? 'Cause I assure you, in this game the offenses suck because the defenses are just that good.
Well this could be the last drive of Peyton’s life, with the opportunity to go out big,
let’s see what he has for the occasion.
ETA: nevermind
He’s depending on his defense.
Doesn’t quite have the feeling of Elway in Super Bowl XXXII, does it?
No, Manning will not be the MVP, though he will be the second Broncos quarterback to retire after winning the Super Bowl.
I was about to raise a discussion about who should be the MVP, but I think Miller just claimed it.
And the D comes up big again! Punch it in!
When was the last time a defensive player got MVP?
Also, TD got MVP in XXXII. Elway got it in XXXIII.
Good ending. Con Miller makes a huge play. MVP.
VM for MVP.
Looks like it’s being extremely dependable.
What was Cam doing after that fumble?
Cam Newton…wow…huge letdown all game.
Two Super Bowls ago.
I want Peyton to dab!
Well, I guess there’s gonna be a lot of babies born in Denver 9 months from now.
That recent? Hell, they did a whole thing before the game and I clearly wasn’t paying attention.
Dagger! TD Anderson!
Gotta go for 2.
I feel bad for that Panther defense. They played a great game.
You’re right. You were referring to the whirlwind dive, right? I forgot that was in 32, and not 33.
