My 5 predictions for SuperBowl 50

1.       Josh Norman finally snags another interception

 

I’m not just writing this to make some sort of epic, end of the year prediction from our shut down corner. I truly think this is the game Josh finally gets his fifth interception after recording 4 so early in the season. Josh Norman is great at giving his receiver enough space to bait the QB, and while Peyton is one of the best in the game and should know better, father time has a different idea. Peyton can no longer get the zip on the ball he used to and as a result, the ball stays in the air a little longer than the sheriff would like. Josh will flawlessly pull off the interception, hopefully all the way to the end zone.

 

2.   

 

         A linebacker gets an interception

 

Look for Kawaan Short to be in Peyton’s face all day. Jared Allen and Charles Johnson will play better than they did earlier in the season. They are hungry for a ring while they still have a chance. Couple that with the face Peyton doesn’t have the strength for many deep throws. This will force Peyton to get rid of the ball rather quickly and as a result, he will deliver one of these throws into the waiting arms of the linebacker corps. Perhaps Luke gets his third straight pick 6? Maybe this is part of TD’s beast game? Maybe it’s time for the rookie to make his statement to the world, either way it’s happening.

 

 

 

3.       Thomas Davis goes HAM

 

Thomas Davis has the longest tenure on the team that was actually drafted from the Panthers. He’s overcome 3 ACL surgeries and broke his arm just two weeks ago. None of that matters to him. He’s already stated that he’s retiring after 2017 so this could theoretically be his only SuperBowl appearance. If you really think Cam is superhuman, wait till you see Davis Sr. on Sunday.

 

4.     

      Mike Remmers gives up 2 sacks

 

I have to be fair and give something to the Broncos. They looked amazing last week, particularly Von Miller, who will be lining up against Remmers. The scary thing is, Miller reminds me of Vic Beasly, who gave Remmers fits in Week 16, except that Von Miller is twice the player Vic Beasly is. I’d love for Remmers to shut him down, but I think Von Miller wins this matchup.

 

5.      

 

        Cam will have 100+ yards rushing

 

The Broncos secondary is talented, as is their defensive line. However, it looks like the Broncos defensive line has a tendency to over pursue a QB. Maybe it’s just me, but this looks like the defensive line that will either make a big play or give one up and we all know Cam takes yards if they give it to him. I think he sees holes and scampers for 10+ yards numerous times, one for a large 30+ yard gain.

 

 

 

 

Final score: Panthers 30 Broncos 16

What are your predictions?

Literally my favorite player on the team. I think that's the jersey I'll pick up net season. His heart for the game is on another level, even by NFL standards.

I've got my Super Bowl 50 patch on my dresser.  Once we win, I'll be ordering a black TD Elite.

My bold predictions:

Ted Ginn has a punt return for a TD and catches a long bomb for a TD. 

We have one pick six on Manning trying to force it as they are playing from behind. 

Jonathan Stewart breaks 100 yards rushing. 

Ted Ginn wins Superbowl MVP.

I think Shaq has a big game and i have said several times the team breaks the rushing record. 

But it would be sweet justice if Klien or Dickson were the real heroes.

Obviously I would NEVER want TD to get injured, but Shaq played really well for being thrust into the fire last week. He's athletic enough to make game changing plays should he have to sub in for TD.

I could see it. I'm hoping nobody else on the OL have a bad game.

I'm going to try and inject a little reality into this thread.   A few achieveable goals for the Panthers:

1. 27 yds rushing by Cam Newton, sacked half a dozen times, 1 pick, 1 TD pass

2. Stew runs 17 times for 48 yards, 1 TD

3. Graham Gano 1 43 yd FG.  Misses from 51 and 48 (wide left on the 48, short on the 51).

4. Olsen, 4 catches for 57 yds.

5. Ginn, 2 catches for 61 yds, 1 TD

Basically the Broncos are able to contain Cam Newton defensively, and are also able to not turn the ball over on offense.  The Broncos stay one step ahead of the Panthers throughout the game, forcing the Panthers to throw more than they wanted to, which allows the Broncos pass rush to be effective.  Broncos 27   Panthers 17

Must be smoking that good weed in CO. You can wake up now.

      [The Athletic] Dane Brugler's 2025 7-round Mock Draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I have been on the Bech bandwagon since well before the SR Bowl.  Hoping that he would stay a hidden gem and we'd be smart enough to grab him late.  I just don't think Morgan cares as much about WR as we do

      General Draft Rumors/Speculation Thread

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Here is how this draft could get mind-blowingly complicated--Interesting comment about Jags floating the Jeanty idea to lure Chicago into a trade.  I have to think Ben Johnson is going to duplicate in many ways the success he had in Detroit, and I have to think their free agency was following the blueprint Carolina designed last year (one that the Saints designed before them with Brees) and they upgraded all of their interior linemen.  RT in Chicago is set; Johnson loves RT Darnell Wright.  However, at LT, Braxton Jones is coming off a December injury and is considered to be in a competition for the position this year by at least a few fans on the Bears Wire.  His PFF score, however, was solid, posting an 80+ score in pass protection and 70+ score in run blocking.  He is in his prime.  However, in some of their fan mocks, the Bears are taking a LT.  I thought they needed an Edge to play 4-3 strong side across from Sweat, but they signed Odeyingbo to a pretty big contract in March. For the Bears, in my view, it comes down to TE or Running Back. Kmet is their #1 TE and he had 474 yards in that role, which was 25th in the NFL last season for TEs.  Adding Warren would help upgrade the TE spot and give them the ability to add around an estimated 80 yards of production per game.  The Bears have D'Andre Swift at RB, but could use a RB to pair with him for a desired 2 RB attack.  So if I am Da Bears, I stay at 10 and take Warren.  If the Jags want to move on from Etienne, then they will take Jeanty. I think, if I were the Jags (with 10 picks this year) I would take Mason Graham and not try to get an 11th pick.  It is a need position, and it seems to me the only reason they are toying with the idea of moving on from Etienne is because Jeanty is on the board.  That, to me, would be a luxury pick. New GM, I think he does not get cute--they take Graham if they stay at 5.  I might say the Jags' biggest need is Corner.  #5 is too rich for Will Johnson, but remember, they have 10 picks.  could they move up with Cleveland and take Hunter, giving them a CB and WR threat?  To me, with the draft capital they have, that is the move they should make.  Cleveland then could move back to #5.  Remember, Nick Chubb is an aging (29) free agent coming off an injury--so he is gone.  With an additional second rounder, the Browns move back and take Jeanty to give Flacco a running game. The Jags pick is very interesting, but I would not be surprised to see them move up.
