I'm honestly surprised to see this post from Jeremy considering he is the biggest homer out there.

At some point even if you wanted to go full homer and talk about the refs putting us in bad spots it was painfully obvious the offense just wasn't up to caliber with a defense like that.

In many ways it was like watching the 2013 playoff game all over again.

I careless, delete this thread

Yes, i can be happy for Manning.

And this "OMG we'll never be in the Super Bowl again" is unrealistic.

Manning wouldn't piss on me if I was on fire and I feel the same about him.  Fug him and his happy ending.

The Broncos went out and took the game from us. Also many will bash Manning and say he just road passenger but the reality is we went against two of the best QBs in the NFL to get to the Super Bowl and our defense pressured those QBs into handing us the game.

P. Manning didn't throw a  INT or TD to Norman or Kuechly and didn't throw a pick six. He had a couple TOs and didn't produce much but that drive for a FG to open the game was big. That plus the sack-fumble-td by Von Miller set the tone for the day, a two score gap against a dominant defensive team.

Manning did his job, he made the Panthers offense have to win the game instead of him giving it away.

Sadly we couldn't do it. I wish we would have tried to Fox ball this game. Very conservative play callling with low risks and wait for Manning to make his mistakes. But the mark of a great defense is to put an offense into high risk situations.

We'll be back.

I would be more open to these threads if other teams showed any semblance of class to us when we won

What really gets me is that there are teams out there that haven't even been in one Super Bowl and we've been in 2, being a relatively new franchise at that.  I think we have a good front office now and I like our coaches.  We just need a piece here and there and we'll be great again next year.

From a Falcons fan—classy thread; Panthers were the best team all year, but today just wasn't their day. I'd be shocked if they don't win a Super Bowl in the next 5 years.

Grow up you bunch of football novices

 

Damn how's the weather up there?

[stirs]

Less stormy than where most of Panther Nation seems to be living

People talking like we're suddenly the Browns.

Don't get that at all.

There's no guarantee we ever get back to this point.

And even if we do, will there be a more ideal scenario? A QB that throws wounded ducks with little to nothing much else on offense and being favored by many to blow the game out. It was such a "Panther" thing to lose that game the way they did.

That's the frustrating part.

Congratulations Bronco. 

A very hard fought, and deserved win.

I definitely need a break from football. That sucked.
