Me too, completely rooting for Denver just because Carolina can kiss my rearreally want Carolina to take an L here, I am no Bronco fan but screw the Panthers and they are in NFC.
Better than our backups I agree, but he doesn't look like a starting QB in the NFL to me. Denver is in trouble if they start this dude all 16 games.I hate the Panthers, Cam, especially Ted Ginn.
Simien looks pretty good for a 7th rounder, better than our backups.
Agree, but let's be honest, a lot of it is because he's huge. Max Hall or someone like that takes those hits and it's Flag city.I guess the officials never forgot Newton's complaining about not getting roughing flags. Gets blasted after throwing it away, no flag.
Pretty dead in this thread. So what have we learned after 1 half:
1. Newton changed his drop. No 7 step drops like last year. It's all 5 step and throw or run. Not holding the ball as long as previously. He's been working with someone on his game obviously.
2. Denver still has a good defense. Their offense is in trouble though.
3. Kuechly still a damn beast. I swear. Wife and I made a drinking game before the game: she takes a drink after every play if Kuechly is near the ball (within a few feet), I drink if he's nowhere near. She's already trashed.
JJ Watt is so badass but if I had to take anyone other than him on defense I'd honestly take Kuechly. He's the best LB in the NFL. He can do it all, rush, pass defend, shed, and tackle. Dude has no weaknesses.
Andy Lee booting rainmakers for the Kitties. Man we could use a punter like him. 76 yards on that last missile from deep in his own end, effectively flipping the field? Mother of God! Butler probably would have shanked one for 27 yards in that pressure-packed situation. Or gotten snuffed for a safety.
Of course we'd have to find some guys who can cover a kick that deep, but hey, I'm sure they could handle it somehow.
And it will probably cost them the game.The Denver punter punted a Drew Butler punt.
