It looks like the Broncos success against the Pats is  driving some Denver players thoughts on our match-up. 

Hell they beat a injured and fading N.E. team twice. They should be favored over the 17-1 Panthers.

I don't discount them, they are a very good team and that defense is nothing to ignore.  Their defense is so good that they've drug the 16 rated offense (as well as the team with the 3rd most turnovers in the NFL) to the superbowl.  That said, they won't be able to turn the ball over more than once or MAYBE twice and have a chance in this game, we are the games most opportunistic defense and most effective short field offense.

Well we see where their minds are at. They beat a depleted Patriots team twice. Yay. You have to play offense AND defense to beat Carolina. Even if that defense gets to Cam, our defense kills Peyton.

First shutout in Super Bowl?

Wouldn't go that far but their offensive line doesn't scare me. We will get plenty of pressure on Manning.

Us beating Seattle twice with one of those on the road is more impressive than them beating new England twice at home

I love how we get no respect all year long, it motivates the players and the fans embrace that mentality too.

Then for the first time all year we finally are being talked about as the favorites and when the other team tries to play the no respect card our fans dismiss it as overconfidence and start talking about a shut out.

Stop acting like bandwagon Seahawks fans, all he said is he felt they deserved more respect for beating the Patriots twice this year, the exact same thing our players were saying about beating Seattle twice and still not getting the proper respect.

They beat a NE team that lost 4 of its last 7 games this season.  They were beat up....had no OL....had no run game.

Denver is about to get rolled and their players know it deep down.

And their damn center was choreographing the snap for them.  You know Kalil isn't going to do that. They're walking into a buzzsaw

Nobody is questioning their defense. The line is because of their QB.

If anyone is being wrongfully unrecognized it's the Carolina defense that made the 2nd and 3rd best QBs look terrible for 6/8 quarters

They have just as much of a right to play the respect card for motivation as the Panthers. It seems the whole world of football has come to a giant debate about respect. It's a good thing they settle this silly respect thing with a playoff system.

It's great for them to think they can handle us.  They are confident because they did carry their offense here.  Our defense is no joke either.  I'm sorry to the Broncos, but they will have to win with D. Will their offense score?  Maybe, especially if they dink and dunk the ball and we play terribly.  On the flip side, if they turn the ball over and we score off those, and get some drives going, it's going to be that much tougher for them.

Both of our teams deserve to be here.  It's no accident.  We also have been playing extremely well down the stretch (the ATL loss aside).  I think we will keep pounding, and I think that will bring us a victory.  Though if we get off our game, get caught up in the Super Bowl drama and lose focus on the game, we'll get slaughtered.  I think that's the biggest area of concern for our team.  Keep being ourselves and play our best game.
