Gantt thinks we will be destroyed

[SCP]

I love the over confidence of the media and Bronco fans. We will most likely lose but if we don't, holy hell the win will be so much sweeter now.

[jtnc]

Yeah, Gantt is enjoying this way too much. He's hoping and praying we lose and it seems like he's a broncos fan for the week.

Peyton has not been sacked in his last three games. If Luke, CJ, and Hardy show up, it could be interesting. Not a prediction but I do like our chances. If the crowd can generate some noise it would be helpful. Of course 1/4 of BoA will be morons wearing Peyton's Colts jerseys.

Yep, I think the stadium will be at least 25% Bronco bandwagon. Then you will have the impartial Steeler, Bill, Redskin, Giant jerseys roaming the stadium per usual. Fricking sad.

This is pretty much the ratio in Charlotte:

Panther Fans - 30% of population

Fans of other NFl teams - 70% of population

they might beat us but i'll be shocked if they destroy us.

Hurney might have been the fall guy, but honestly this team is different after he's gone.

[Papa-Pwn]

That's a pretty bold statement, but what exactly makes a defeat a "blowout"? Is it a 10 point win? 14? 21? I think the Broncos win 38-13, if that's a blowout I suppose that's up for debate.

It may happen Peyton is playing like an MVP, and I'm sure he as already spoken to Eli about our D. Also, when Fox was here he had a sense of loyalty among the players; I'm sure his players like him and would love to get him a win. So look for Denver to come out and give a full effort to win one for Fox. Bottom line is what is always is, how does Cam play. If he has a good day then its close, if he has a bad day; well its a bad day. (hows that for Fox speak)

Hurney's 09-11 draft record speaks for itself. Not to mention those HUGE contracts.

I hope Peyton did talk to Eli about our defense. If he did, the conversation went like this:

Peyton: "Hey Eli, I'm calling you hands free from this sweet Buick I got for freezies! So I wanted to see if you could hook me up with some inside info on playing against the Panthers defense this week?"

Eli: "Sure thing big bro. So they have no pass rush, you can sit in the pocket all day long and not have to worry about a damn thing. Go ahead and send Thomas and Decker on those deep routes, because their dline is poo. Their best corner is Chris Gamble, so make sure you attack Norman, he's the tall, quiet one on the other side. Also, make sure you attack their MLB. He has lost a step big time and can't cover or tackle. I think he's coming back from Achilles surgery so he is running really gingerly. Also, their safety plays literally 40 yards back and you can throw bullshit passes in front of him all day. Also, their WLB is coming off three ACL surgeries so don't worry about him coming after you."

Peyton: "Thanks bro. This will really help me gameplan against them!!"

Fast forward to Sunday about 1:15. Broncos have the ball for the first time and Peyton see's our defense in person for the first time.

Peyton: "WTF is this poo?"

Proceeds to get sack-fumbled by GHB on the first play, and Kuechly runs it back for a TD.

Montsta: "Lol."

I dont think it's going to be up to Fox. Manning is in full control of the offense. He will decide.

Manning gets the plays but has full reins to change the plays at the line. Closest thing to Unitas, the greatest field general the NFL has ever had.

[Proudiddy]

I really am hoping we turn it around on the momentum from shutting down RG3 and beating the Skins last week. That was a much needed performance on many fronts.

That being said, I'm really worried about this one... Either we'll win it or we're gonna get blown out and not keep it close. I heard on ESPN the other day that Peyton actually called Eli to talk about what they did to us and what their strategy was... DID NOT LIKE.

Add to that Foxy coming in with a vengeance, and it's a bad formula. Rivera has always shat the bed when the other team comes in motivated more than usual..

[rayzor]

i want CJ, hardy, and dwan to make peyton think about retiring.

^^THIS^^ With Peyton you have a QB and O Coordinater rolled in to one.

EXACTLY!! Until Manning Unitas was considered the last On field general. The offensive coordinator was nothing more than a title. That is why McDermott needs to disguise our defnse to the last second.
