This "SB experience" nonsense just gets funnier the more I hear it.

These guys are acting like their team is the Patriots or the Seahawks - two teams for which you could make an argument for having an advantage when it comes to "SB experience." NE won it last year and their QB & head coach have won 4 together and have been to 6. Seattle has been to 2 consecutive SBs and actually won one in  a blow out (over Denver no less.)

Guess which team Carolina beat a couple of weeks ago on their road to SB50? Hint: it's one of the aforementioned teams with SB experience.

Denver has no significant advantage in that department. It's laughable for anyone to claim otherwise.

LOL Broncos fans.

Just so we are clear, a couple of Broncos fans on a random forum mention SB experience as an advantage (a non-existent one in my opinion) and you've somehow taken this and ran with it as if that is the general consensus among Broncos fans. Am i misunderstanding? 

 

I don't think I've seen anyone writing off the Panthers. They are the favorites to win and rightfully so. Along with their great defense, they have an offense capable of putting up points while the Broncos are pretty much just defense.

 

You may take it as a slight against your team that the opposing team fans would try to find some sort of rationale for their favorite team winning but, is that not every team's fans does?

No one will come here and tell you the Panthers will lose and expect you to believe it. You are a fan and believe what you want about the team and have your own faith in it. Why is the opposite expected for other fans?

You misunderstood my post. It was directed at the troll in this thread who claims that the NFC is inferior to the AFC because the Panthers signed Finnegan and McClain off the streets and still beat NFC teams, not you.

Believe me, we know darn well how good your defense is, we just believe we're a tad better because we have an offense to go with our defense.

I can respect that. But, it seems like many posters here think they're more than a tad better lol. As a Broncos fan, I happen to think we have an offense too but, it's cool.

I only count active players when it comes to so called super bowl experience.

Well bully for you. Just keep making up bull poo rules and we will keep laughing at you. How in the hell can you not count our coach, who has been as a player and a coach? I don't know for sure, but I'm guessing that he learned a couple of things he can pass on to the players. Anyway, your "active players" got smoked the last time they were in the Super Bowl.

I'm not a Panthers fan. In fact, my team has more "SB experience" than any other team in the last 14 years. But even I would never be foolish enough to use that as a reason for why my team would win.

The Panthers have been playing in the spotlight all season long. They went undefeated deep into the season and handled the pressure well. They faced two of the top teams in the league and handled them with relative ease. They're looking loose, relaxed, and like they're just having a ton of fun while dominating strong competition. That should scare you, because it's very reminiscent of the 2013 Seahawks.

Maybe I'm not much of a fanatic as some but... the outcome of this game does not impact my life negatively or positively so why should i be scared? 

I'm not the one out there taking hits lol.

 

So who is your team? The patriots? Steelers?

Well, I think I answered this before with how bad Peyton was playing in the beginning. If you don't see how 17 ints impact your ppg then, I don't know what to tell you. Also, down the stretch we had quite a few impact players on D miss games due to injury. We literally had to play 2 safeties off the street. Still, our D has been in the top of the league in all possible categories. In the last game of the season, we had the opportunity to be 1st in yards, pass, run, sacks & ppg. But unfortunately, the O decided to turn the ball over 5 times. So obviously, it was nice to just get the win in that situation lol.

You did, to a point. But even on a short field, defenses have to step up. We've had such games too & won all of them except one. All I've been saying is that there are weaknesses that play into our strengths. I hope it's a hard fought game with no significant injuries on either side. btw we also signed 2 DB's off the street so that's rather a wash. But I do see a defensive battle on both sides. I like the Broncos, just not these 2 weeks. I respect the heck out of Elway & Manning. I'm glad your o-line has settled down & I love watching a good defense. I've been pulling for Brock all season, (1) he's the right fit to succeed Manning & (2) Kubiak has always had QB problems as a HC, some self-inflicted; it'll be a plus to see what he can do without that headache. 

But, again, not this week. :)

This fan base can be a little chippy.  It's the first time this season when team has been respected by other fan bases or media.  During the espn polls when multiple teams were undefeated,  panthers would be voted the first to lose.  Told Dallas was the favorite to win against us just because Romo was back.  Report comes out that Panthers were worst 13 - 0 team in history.  Fake 15-1 team because Panthers had the easiest schedule of all time.  No way we would beat Seattle.  Hell Seattle fans were here talking trash before even playing the Vikings. No way we would beat Cardinals since they were the most complete team.  and now the favorite in the Super Bowl.  

People are a little excited about this team and have their backs.

WHAT Does My Choice of avatar  have to do with anything?

    So, I say something you disagree with and don't understand, therefore it needs to be classified as trolling or a negative?

      I've said very basic logical things.

 But because they don't praise and worship your favorite team,you have a problem with it. Did you not notice my favorable Cam comments about his celebrating? You ignore that I was helpful to you looking for super bowl patches?

   It's just sports talk. Absolutely nothing to make a big deal about unless I insult you etc.

You said lots of things but your logic is skewed and faulty.  Many of your conclusions are nonsequitors.  But I am sure they seem logical in your own mind.  But in the light of day on your opposing team's website who know a lot more than you do abut the Panthers it doesn't hold water.  But carry on, I am sure you are winning every argument in your mind and that appears to be the most important thing to you,  You are a legend in your own mind........LOL

[Swaiy]

Couldn't find where to edit on my phone but, no reply needed BrownianMotion.  You're a Patriots fan lol. Should have been able to determine that from the smugness in your posts regarding the Broncos. Say no more.

[Hogmolliesmaht]

Just FTR, the Panthers do have some active players with rings. Other, Dixon, and Harper have all done it recently. Not that it really matters...

You guys haven't had such games though. You haven't turned the ball over 5 times & won, you haven't won a game w/o an offensive TD & you haven't won a game being down 2 tds in the 4th quarter. In OT, your D let em go down for 3 points right? We've won 3 OT games & none of the opposing offenses moved 1 yard against us. In fact, overall total was -20. So again, I respect your team & I appreciate your respect for mine. You may have the better team (we'll see) but, you're comparing apples to oranges on D, imo :).

[Wyank]

No our team isn't fond of giving the other team the ball 5 times on Turnovers.  You got us.  :)

Oh lordy,  that Broncos defense though!   That Broncos defense!

 

Seahawks defense > Broncos defense.   PPG>>>Yards

Panthers defense > Broncos defense.    Takeaways>>>>Yards.

 

While everyone is focused on that Denver defense that is apparently the greatest of all time,  it is going to come as a real shock when the Panthers defense completely shits on that Broncos offense.

No, it'll be shocking when Broncos win after being 6 points underdogs ;).
