Stan's Big D chat thread.

will be glad if Talib loses tbh. Dirty cheap shot

 

Yeah hes a bit of a loose canon

 

Welcome Julian.

There is a fine line between aggressive and senseless.

 

Yeah really impressed with the Denver deffense tonight
Im just gutted i aint watching thw Pats

 

Pats will be back next year. Denver not so sure.

This Defense v Defense. Best will prevail.

 

You a Patriots fan

 

No mate. I am Eagles fan.
But Pats will always be there, that's what Tom & Bill do.

 

Yeah i think youre right
I think its better being on a an NFL american forum site tonight

 

typically we get number of posters with decent Amer football knowledge.

Today, guess guys are absorbed too much into the game.

 

Graham Gano can he?

 

No good, as always..

 

Jeep 4x4 Advert is the best yet in this bowl.

 

Cam might become Colin II.

 

awful referring. that is as if they wanted to give Peyton his 2nd ring.

 

Have to hand it to that Denver defence- just have to remember just how electric the Panthers have been so to hold them to ten points is sensational.

I only caught the bad call when they didn't overturn the fumbled catch when he clearly had control and never touched the ground- shocking decision. Were there more later?

I couldn't get work off today so I skimmed through the second half on sky+ this morning.

 

yes that incomplete pass was actually completed properly. Awful call.

Few touch & go calls later were not called for Panthers. Few roughing the passer for Cam also went un noticed.

 

As little as 8 weeks ago I thought Peyton Manning looked finished. Slow on his feet, inaccurate in the pass, and substitutes for a Brock Osweiler.

I would never have thought that the Broncos would see off the Patriots and the Panthers successively but that defence came to the fore and dominated. I don't think they are overall the strongest team in NFL but they timed it perfectly. In some ways the NFL season is short but in form terms, it's a long season. The champions always raise the intensity when it matters and Denver certainly did as the Patriots threw away home advantage, and Seattle got off the mark too slowly both in Minneapolis and subsequently Carolina.

Manning should ride off into the sunset now as I just don't see a Denver repeat next year. But who are we to call it!

Looking forward to the 2016/17 debate!

 

I fell asleep, again
General rule of thumb, good defenses outplay good offenses. If Von Miller and Ware were healthy two years ago against the Seahawks, Peyton might have retired a lot earlier. Beautiful defensive game, was a joy to see Cam Newton going down that many times. For he will learn from this and will only get better. And probably win a super bowl in two years from now.

 

guess Ware was playing for the Boys back then. But agree with you, defense is very important.

Cam could very well become Collin II.

 

my bad, meant Derek Wolfe
