Y'ALL BITCHES READY FOR THE BIG GAME

Prediction time: Panthers, 34-9. Cam is the truth. Peyton Manning's career over by the end of the 3rd quarter.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #2822 on:** February 07, 2016, 04:57:18 PM »

Just can't see Manning keeping up with Cam.

Carolina 30
Denver 16

Man Carolina's tackles got utterly destroyed. In fact, every o-line I saw that played Denver got hosed especially on the edges.

Cam had a rough game but a lot of those incompletions were drops or ripped out/knocked out by Denver backs. Ted Ginn was fucking up all game...

Overall can't feel too bad for Carolina. They did all this despite losing their best WR during training cap. They have to improve that o-line and add some weapons.

Man, what a boring super bowl. People are already saying Manning won that. LOL, no, but his team's defense did.

Cam Newton is going to get eaten alive for not diving on that ball, good God. Also, for not collecting his composure before facing the media, but I can't even be mad about that, because he obviously is heart-broken and really cares about doing his best. That's a humiliating thing to go through after losing, but part of the job nonetheless.

And of course, people are already asking aloud "If Tom Brady or Peyton Manning didn't go for it, nobody would criticize them." Which is a dumb argument to get into because Super Bowl-winning QBs tend to NOT jump away from live balls, which is why nobody has ever accused them of not being aware of the situation. Not to mention, they are proven winners and the best of their generation if not all-time. But, imagine Tony Romo or Andy Dalton doing what Cam did. They'd get DESTROYED.

Mandark · « **Reply #2847 on:** February 08, 2016, 01:22:12 AM »

Peyton played possum during an interception return earlier in the game, so.

vas_a_morir · « **Reply #2848 on:** February 08, 2016, 01:27:46 AM »

Peyton got ripped for not running out a first down last year, IIRC. He's also damn near 40 years old and his PED supply got disrupted. Cam was right there. I'd like to think he thought it was an incomplete pass and didn't just get scared.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #2849 on:** February 08, 2016, 01:29:50 AM »

Don't really follow football much anymore but that Denver defense was hellaciously good.

Yeah. Considering the way he played that game and in general (he's basically their short-yardage back), staying up to avoid contact seems rather unlikely.

Hate to see Cam go down like that. I think showing some grace after a loss is important but at the same time...I won't criticize someone for being emotional and passionate after a loss. It's funny, if Cam is super passionate after winning he "isn't respecting the game." And if he's super passionate after losing he also "isn't respecting the game." Dude can't win.

But hey...that defense made Brady look like a scrub too.

Am_I_Anonymous · « **Reply #2855 on:** February 08, 2016, 11:23:24 AM »

Man Cam got punked by a solid defense. A lot of nutriders in here got a lot to explain

jakefromstatefarm · « **Reply #2856 on:** February 08, 2016, 12:04:13 PM »

he got punked by a solid d, that's about all there is to it. After a year of over achieving the offensive line picked a hell of a night to regress back to the mean. Getting benjamin back is big but it's not going to stop cam from being pressured or the secondary outside of Norman from having huge holes in it. Not to mention all those hiccups: false starts/unsportsmanlike conducts/special teams miscues. Provided they bring back Norman (which is a big if) they'll still be a force in the nfc next year

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #2857 on:** February 08, 2016, 12:38:40 PM »

NFC is regressing imo, Carolina should remain on top assuming they bring back Norman. GB needs major changes, Seattle could lose a bit in free agency (plus Lynch retiring), Cards will need a new QB, etc.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #2858 on:** February 08, 2016, 12:52:42 PM »

Losing isn't fun, and people don't have to like my comments, that's fair. I don't have an issue with any player getting excited when they're doing well. I think he got so used to winning this season that the game yesterday caught him off guard. But it's also a good thing to stand up and own it.

He'll be back. What's amazing was not 3 years ago the Broncos were a super Offensive team with a shit defense. What an amazing turn-around.

I'm still waiting for a vid of Cam Newton jumping away with "uuuyYYYEEEET" dubbed in.

Losing isn't fun, and people don't have to like players on the teams that beat them, that's fair. I don't have an issue with any fan getting excited when their team's doing well. I think Seahawks fans got so used to winning the last two seasons that getting whupped twice by Cam caught them off guard. But it's also a good thing to stand up and own it.

Instead of reattaching his arm, they replaced it with an actual game ball instead, as a joke.

Quote

In some parallel universe, the end of Super Bowl 50 is a heartwarming affair, with an aging legend riding the coattails of a young, brilliant defense to one last title … one glorious final run that ends with a gimpy old man sitting atop the shoulders of his teammates and being carried off into the sunset, with a tasteful Jerry Goldsmith film score playing in the background. That’s a pleasant enough ending. That’s an ending you can feel good about.

That’s not the ending we got on Sunday night. On Sunday night, what we got was an over-the-hill, shitty player who had to be dragged to a title by a world-class defense … a player who was benched for ineffective play earlier this season and was reinstated to the starting lineup only because his replacement was equally ineffective.

And how did Peyton Manning celebrate this good fortune? By kissing fucking Papa John and openly shilling for Budweiser. The biggest, most wonderful moment at the end of a storied career, and he’s selling me shitty beer.

Fuck this guy.

I’ve never liked Peyton Manning. Back in 1997, Charles Woodson beat him out for the Heisman and I was so happy that I drunkenly threw a chair across the room (it made sense at the time). Even when he played the Patriots, I sided with New England. Do you know how annoying you have to be to have a Boston team be the preferable rooting alternative? The worst thing is that no matter what he’s done—whether harassing a trainer or losing yet another game to Steve Spurrier, casually tossing his line under the bus or sending hired goons to strong-arm the family of someone claiming that he shot donkey placenta cells into his face—he has gotten the benefit of the doubt from Phil SEEMS and the like. It’s amazing that you can buy off the media for life simply by being football royalty and remembering their names when they ask something at a press conference.

And Manning has gotten this preferential treatment despite the fact that, for two decades, he has played the most robotic, boring, aesthetically unexciting brand of football possible. Peyton is quarterback-as-floorslapper: shuffling his feet, flapping his stupid arms, crying out OMAHA, deploying every last possible distraction tactic on a defense and piling up records without any semblance of athletic grace or style. Was it effective? Of course it was. Was it FUN? No. Jesus, no. My ideal NFL Films compilation is Tracy Porter picking off Peyton on a continuous, nine-hour loop.

So when the Broncos spent all of yesterday actively pulling a Floyd Mayweather and avoiding ANY semblance of offensive risk, I felt no joy at all to see it pay off. And deep down, I’m sucker for anything. I’ll watch any title game celebration, no matter the sport. I cry during movie trailers. Give me the phoniest redemption tale and I’ll usually buy it. But for Peyton Manning? No. No, screw that. I felt nothing.

In fact, I became actively annoyed that CBS kept trying to push the storybook angle on me. The fuck does Peyton Manning need MORE adulation for? Was this guy’s life not already a golden road? Why does a millionaire and surefire Hall-of-Famer require a perfect ending? The way Manning played in that game, and the way the Broncos game-planned, he certainly didn’t deserve that. Who wants to see Extreme Martyball rewarded? He deserved to lose 87-0.

But he didn’t. The Broncos defense crushed the Panthers, and Peyton Manning gets to go out a champion despite being incidental to his team’s success (and he gets to retire without worrying about any kind of pesky PED suspension). And I’m supposed to pretend this is nice for HIM when enough nice things have happened to Peyton Manning already and when, for all I know, he’s a miserable wretch of a human being. Not a chance. Fuck Peyton. Fuck Peyton forever.

Tom Brady has better "stats" then Colin Kaepernick. Know why? Because stats never lie. I bet you're the kinda asshole that throws out the word "system quarterback" but has no ability to understand what it entails. Those "fans" are the reason why guys like Cam leave the stage. Congrats

I think TA's saying that PED's became a huge deal in baseball because people knew and cared so much about the home run records (61 and 755) and felt they had been broken specifically through steroid use, whereas it's not that big a deal to football fans. I'd generally agree.

I can totally understand why some athletes would really resent having to make the choice between potentially doing even more harm to their body through PED's or losing out on their livelihood.

Just in terms of overall public perception though, from fans and media coverage, I think Peyton's going to be seen and discussed a lot differently than A-Rod/Bonds/McGwire.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #2877 on:** February 09, 2016, 02:02:49 PM »

Overall I agree people (i.e. fans) don't care that much. Dudes get busted every other year and it never really makes a dent. Nobody cares that Brian Cushing cheated but I'd imagine some will care more about golden boy Peyton cheating. But there will always be a system in place to defend him.

Nobody cares that NE taped and spied on other teams or brings it up when discussing Brady n Bellicheck's legacy

Mandark · « **Reply #2878 on:** February 09, 2016, 02:08:49 PM »

If something credible comes out showing that he'd been roiding throughout his career, that would probably blow up into a big story. If it's just that he had HGH during the year he was out of football, recovering after multiple spine/neck surgeries, I don't think it's going to get that much traction.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #2879 on:** February 09, 2016, 02:11:39 PM »

"Peyton loved the game so much he did anything to come back from a potential career ending injury. Isn't that what we expect from elite athletes?"
