Uh oh... Brian Billick is poking holes in the pro-denver media narrative!

Right now on Fox Sports, Billick just said "the matchups favor Carolina across the board", talks about our physicality, talks about our running game oriented offense being a bad matchup for Denver, and likewise with our defense contrasted with Peyton's issues this season.

A sure contrast to Colin Cowherd having a real blowhard discussion earlier with Peter Schrager who actually talked about Denver's defense being talked about like the "85 bears, 00 ravens, 13 seahawks", if "not for Peyton playing".  Unbelievable!  Same crap platitudes about "peyton still is peyton" we've seen, during the few times they discuss the Denver offense Carolina defense matchup, which rarely came up.  I don't remember the media trying to hype up a defense to this level in the last twenty years.  Also for good measure both took shots at our receivers.  

 

Isn't it funny how guys who coached the sport or are X&Os gurus, like Billick and Greg Cossel, seem to be the only ones discussing how much Carolina is favored, how well we really matchup with Denver on both sides of the ball, and just how unique and difficult to stop our offense is?  On the other side, it seems the blowhards, either the media types who never sniffed a football field or meathead former players who never coached in their life, are the ones hyping up the Denver D to legendary levels and dismissing our offense agains them?  Just something I noticed.

I really have stopped watching all the coverage. I'd say since Thanksgiving, I might have watched 4-5 hours of ESPN of NFLN. It's been the same narrative all season. Nothing has changed and tbh probably won't next year either. 

We will still be picked 4th in the division because Tampa got a new coach, New Orleans retained Payton, and Dan Quinn is destined to get that team going. Furthermore, we drop because we won the Super Bowl and retained everyone that can't be replaced by a plug and play guy and didn't play the free agency game.

Either way, i'm always middle of the road with us because I never know what to expect. We rarely have standout players who can be difference makers to suggest that we will be great but might be bad. In other words, I live in the moment.

Where is this pro-Denver narrative? The media is by and large in favor of Carolina.

I said a few days ago, it seems like more and more media types are swaying to the Panthers because they have finally watched the games. But there are those that will ride Manning all the way no matter what.

^^^ The pro-Denver's defense narrative, is the pro-denver narrative.  You'll never convince me this Denver D deserves to be talked about in the same breath as those legendary Defenses that lazy media types are throwing around.

.....they do still have to cover the other team too, dude. That's not narrative, that's just trying to hype up the Superbowl.

They don't have to cover them without propping them up to try and make it even.  You don't see our offense being talked about as one of the best ever just because we led the league in scoring.  Which is fair, just like the media would be fair if they weren't hyping up the Denver defense to historic levels

      Snow in the high country

      By rayzor · Posted

      i think i go in the opposite direction of most. my ideal retirement is living in some old downtown area in a flat above some shop or something.  life out in the country was just something i got real tired of. My kids actually miss some of living out there, which i understand. that was where they grew up for the most part. 40 acres with a 2.5 acre pond. it was beautiful, but also way too much (and too expensive) for me to keep up with.

      FLASHBACK: I remember back when ESPN was just starting--he was their anchor.  They used to show stuff like Rodeo and field hockey--I remember laughing when he went to a commercial mocking a cycling competition in Utah (or something similar--I made that up) and I laughed.  I told my dad, "We may have us a new anchor when we get back from commercial."  When they came back from commercial, Berman was looking very serious and he said, "Any comments by me do not reflect the views of ESPN....The men and women who cycle are dedicated athletes and we are honored to shine light on their sport." (Paraphrasing).  Dad laughed hysterically. My first memory of him--and that was like 1980.

      Might not have a team without them. Although that probably applies to the Panthers, too.
