It's nice to see a contrarian view, but Denver isn't going to score enough to keep it close.
It's different but not necessarily better than the Seahawks D, whom the panthers beat twice.
Seattles defense this year is not on the same level as Denvers. Period.
yup. When you see people saying the Panthers D and Bronco D is a wash, you know its gonna be....fun.
Yep. The Broncos offense will struggle to score, but how are those Panthers WRs ever going to get open against this Bronco defense?
Panthers D is not what Denvers D is. People seem to be sleeping on Denvers D. There really is no team applying the kind of pressure Denver is. Cam will be running for his life in two weeks.
When you face St. Louis and San Fran for one fourth of your schedule, it tends to skew those statistics. Ya know?
I get what you're saying. The main difference for me, is that you know how to shut down Brady, it's been seen a handful of times before. Get pressure, make him move around the pocket. I think that's where a guy like Cam thrives. He can run, he can throw accurately on the move. He has probably the strongest arm in the league. He has Ginn to keep the defense backed up. In fact pressure is what you DON'T want to do to Cam. Per ESPN:
That's probably true, but if there's one player in the league I trust to make good things happen when running for his life, it's cam. He also might make bad things happen. But it will be exciting.
No doubt about that. I actually like Cam so there wont be any ill feelings.
I'm pretty sure I was that exact same article today, except it was about blitzing Brady.Also, not sure what the play-counts say, but by my eye the Broncos rushed 3 more than 5. They are the odd team that can get pressure without blitzing.
Beat me to it
The Broncos defense matches up GREAT against the Pats offense. The Pats were a pass-only offense with a stationary QB taking on a team with a dynamic pass rush and top notch secondary.
Agreed. Cam's legs are going to be a big problem. The Panthers should win this game, but you just never know.
True. But looking at Denver's schedule, what top offenses did they shut down? Really they're lucky brown, bell and dwill were out last week.
And Gronk and Edelman and Amendola and that vaunted unstoppable when healthy Patriot offense.
I called the defenses a wash. I do think Denver has the slightly better defense but they aren’t that far apart
