NFL

Well i am gobsmacked. Spent all night wide awake in bed listening to missis t snoring her head off in sicily. Been asleep 13 1/2 hrs and i forgot game was on.
By the sounds of it the broncos D played the game i said they had to if they were to have a chance of winning. Well done broncos.
Hmm the AFC come away with summat many thought they would not. Well done the underdogs
 
Massive call early on, wrongly went against the Panthers, Broncos defence sacked Newton next down stripped the ball and scored a touchdown. There was only going to be one winner after that.
 
Blimey. Wasn't expecting that and happy to be proved wrong as Newton came across as a petulant child and didn't seem to care (i actually enjoy his antics usually - why would you not fight for the ball once you've fumbled it? And his post-game presser was ridiculous too.

Well done to the Broncos Defense!
 
Bit of a let down for me, Cam and co have been blowing defences away this year and I didn't expect them to get dominated by the Broncos D like that.
Credit to both defences but Broncos defence won it last night.
 
That game just proved my point - Newton, massively overrated.

Missed receivers a number of times, didn't commit when he was stripped and could have recovered.

Denver won despite Manning being poor again. But their D is so good. Brilliant to watch!!
 
Watched whole game and am suffering for it now, I enjoyed the defensive side of it and was happy Denver won, was pretty close game until near the end. Thought both QBs were left looking pretty poor and it was at times frustrating to watch - they just got one offense on the field and they were straight back off again, but ok with Newton getting chopped down a peg or two, overly cocky, some arm though for speed if not accuracy last night. Vonn Miller the standout.
Half time show was pretty awful imo, sound quality on tv poor and I didn't even get the Beyonce racial angle until I heard about it today, was totally underwhelmed by it compared to some past shows.
 
Cheers phil and what with me bein a lazy sod i was gonna ask what position but had a look on mr google and guess what.
He is a Free agent in March and and will be one of the highest players in the league that play defence if not the highest.
Thing is that his stats and reviews show That. Gonna be an intersting couple
Of weeks to see if the broncos hold onto him as they have first dibs

It's a shame he had such a bad injury a while back when Denver got to the super bowl against the Seahawks - things could have been a bit different

He is superb - quick and very strong - well worth his extra money
 
It was said during the coverage that the Broncos were going to tie him to the franchise so that as he would be a free agent he can't go anywhere, it was a deserved MVP.

The whole SB50 was a damp squib, even the TV coverage was pretty poor all said and done. It wasn't helped by the delays in game due to the US advert breaks.

Thought Cam Newton was acting like a spoilt brat and even though I wanted the Panthers to win, after seeing his displays of petulance during and after the game I pleased he got nowt.
 
Khamelion cant remwmber where i read the bit about him bein a free agent an yhe broncos tying him down. But and its a massive but the way in which it has been done coyld cost them some massive dollars as it is tied into the what the most expensive other lb in the league would cost. And it will go up every year. Not at all saying its a bad deal for either party. But not. Cheap deal

The franchise tag is a deal where a team can stop one of its players becoming a free agent by paying them a fixed amount tied to the top five NFL salaries of players at the same position. The players don't like it as it hurts their freedom of movement but it does guarantee them a large one-year salary with the chance to go back into free agency again the following year. The tag needs to be applied in the next month as free agency starts in mid-March.

The Broncos have a large number of starters who are out of contract and once a player has that Super Bowl ring, all they want to do is get paid (MEAT - Maximize Earnings All Times).

I would expect the Broncos to either franchise Miller or preferably sign him to a long-term deal before the start of the free agency period. But the likes of DeMarcus Ware and other starters from the defense are gone.
 
A friend of mine was assigned to Miller as his PR for the Super Bowl week and I saw her running onto the field at the end of the game to grab hold of him especially as she had been given word he was being named the MVP. She could not speak highly enough of him as a person and has a great picture of the two of them and some of his family with the Super Bowl trophy after the game.

Always pleasing to here that superstars are genuine people.

That's why I find the whole cam newton thing a show, giving balls the kids etc visiting hospitals when the cameras are conveniently following him.
 
I've already posted this on this thread but Newton might be an deserved MVP on the field this season but he is an appalling individual off it. His behaviour after the Super Bowl was that a petulant child and he has seriously damaged his reputation around the league from it. The Panthers have all the makings of a "Super Bowl loser going down the toilet the following season" and a buddy of mine has already put a bundle on them having a losing season in 2016.
