But how sad would it be to see Peyton Manning 1-3 in the big game?

Dayuuum.

Because, if we are to be prisoners of last night's moment, Denver doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of beating Carolina.

These Big Cats will surely give them Warhorses a run for their money!

PREDICTION
Will Peyton Manning get his elusive second title? Or will Cam Newton dab his way into a new era? According to ESPN's Football Power Index, which takes into account each team's strengths, as well as several other factors, get ready for a classic, with the Panthers squeaking past the Broncos to claim their first Lombardi Trophy.

Oh no, not at all. Unachodhani sicho kabisa.

I'm fine with it and to be honest with you, even though I was pulling for NE, I didn't think they were going to win at Denver.

That's why I even told King Shaat that I dreaded the prospect of having to go there for the conference championship game.

And it was Bill Belichik who pretty much sealed that fate on Dec. 28th [if you are a fan of football you'll know what happened on that Sunday vs the Jets].

So I'm perfectly fine with the outcome. It's what I had expected although I hoped for a different one.

If you look at Tom Brady's record in Denver you'll know why I'd preferred it to be at Foxborough, instead.

The Mile High city has been a house of horrors for NE.

In tight games like the one last night, home field advantage comes into play.

Every time Manning was under center the stadium got quiet. Each time Brady was under center, they made enough noise to make it hard for the signal caller to call his audibles.

My expectations were very realistic.

I was under no illusion that NE was going to win in Denver. But, I was hoping they'd squeak one through. It didn't happen.

It's all good.

Honest opinion I will say. I think majority of the pundits never gave Denver a chance! But I still believe if they kicked that FG with six minutes remaining then there was a possibility of a come back. You are right, the Jets and Dolphins games broke that momentum Brady had. I believe they do need a good WR though, because if you meet teams like Denver with those ferocious pass rushers then the QB can't do any miracle. My greenbay disappointed me again. After that loss to Seahawks I thought they had learnt something but I was wrong. No idea what happened to the bad man Aron Rogers second half of the season.

Cam is feeling himself right now.

What amaze me is the way he takes those snaps, very relaxed as if they are on practice! I hope he wins that will be a perfect ending!

Yup..so there you have it.

I am usually very realistic when it comes to expectations.

That's why I believe that had the game been played at New England that home field advantage would have figured into the equation.

But that wasn't to be because Belichik screwed up.

Oh well....we still have 4 Lombardi trophies. So no biggie.

As for the Panthers - Broncos matchup....my heart tells me Peyton but my head is saying Cam.

We shall see.

And the giving of the balls to the kids after scoring....I'm becoming a fan.

I think now we can officially say the Brady-Manning rivalry is practically over and the Cam-Russel rivalry has began.

The Hawks almost pulled off a comeback win after being 31-0 down in the first half.

I believe they will pick up right where they left off come next season.

Yeah man I like that gesture of giving the balls to the kids! Mind you he is playing without his greatest weapon in Kelvin Benjamin. What he has now are pretty much mediocre WRs which can't even practice on quality teams but he has somehow made them elite. Even if they don't win, I am sure the owner will add some few pieces to the roster and that will be a very dangerous team. Russel was on fire second half of the season and I believe if it was not for his rush decision and plugging in beastmode who was not ready, they would have pulled it off. Next season will be epic!

But he himself is a weapon.

He is a dual threat.

He can fling that pigskin with the best of them and he can run if need be.

So how do you really stop a cat like that?

His offensive line is good. He always seems to stay in the pocket forever.

And somehow someway Greg Olsen [their tight-end] always breaks open and Cam will connect with him.

If he can't find an open receiver he'll take off running himself to get the necessary yardage.

Couple that with a great defense that's on a roll, how can you not peg the Panthers as the favorites to win SB 50?
 
Uni Watch: Broncos to wear white in Super Bowl

In a major surprise, the Denver Broncos have decided to wear white jerseys in Super Bowl 50.

The Broncos had the privilege of choosing their jersey color by virtue of being the designated home team, a status that rotates every year. The AFC champion is the home team for even-numbered Super Bowls; the NFC champ gets that designation for odd-numbered Super Bowls.

A few facts, figures and observations about the Broncos' choice:

  • The Broncos may have chosen to wear white out of superstition. They are 0-4 when wearing orange jerseys in a Super Bowl, having lost Super Bowls XII,XXI, XXIV and XLVIII. They're 1-1 in white and 1-0 in blue.

  • Bonus superstition: Teams wearing white jerseys have won 10 of the past 11 Super Bowls.

  • Double-bonus superstition: Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning is 1-2 in Super Bowls. His victory in Super Bowl XLI came while wearing a white jersey.

  • According to the Gridiron Uniform Database, the Broncos have worn white at home only 10 times in their history. Seven of those games were in 1971, when they wore white at home for the entire season.

    • The Broncos went 6-2 in their white jerseys this season. They went 7-1 wearing orange (5-1 in the regular season and 2-0 in the playoffs) and 1-1 in their blue alternate jerseys.

      • This marks the fifth time a designated home team has chosen to wear white in the Super Bowl. The four previous teams to do so were the Cowboys in Super Bowl XIII, Washington in Super Bowl XVII, the Cowboys again in Super Bowl XXVII and the Steelers in Super Bowl XL. Those four teams went a collective 3-1 in their Super Bowls.

      • Historical footnote: The Cowboys were the designated home team for Super Bowl V and wanted to wear white, but Super Bowl home teams were required to wear colored jerseys in those days, so Dallas wore blue and lost to the Colts. This was a key building block in the legend of the Cowboys' blue-jersey curse.

      • Bonus footnote: The Patriots wore white at home throughout the 1985 regular season, but then they were forced to wear red on the road in two of their three playoff games (because the Jets chose to wear white at home in the wild-card round and the Dolphins did likewise in the conference championship). They won both of those games, so they chose to stick with red -- their usual road color at the time -- in Super Bowl XX.

      • As for the Carolina Panthers, they'll be wearing their black jerseys. It's possible that they could also wear their black pants (teams aren't required to declare their pant choice in advance), which would create the first all-black versus all-white matchup in Super Bowl history.

      • The Panthers have appeared in only one previous title game, Super Bowl XXXVIII, where they wore white and lost.
      A few other uni-related notes regarding the big game, all regarding the quarterbacks' uniform numbers:
      • Panthers quarterback Cam Newton is poised to become the first quarterback to wear No. 1 in a Super Bowl. (Obviously, this also gives him the lowest uniform number ever worn by a Super Bowl quarterback.)

      • Peyton Manning's No. 18 is the second-highest uniform number ever worn by a Super Bowl quarterback. The highest: No. 19, worn by Johnny Unitas in Super Bowls III and V.

      • The gap between Newton's and Manning's uniform numbers -- 17 -- is the largest such gap in Super Bowl quarterback history. The previous record was set two years ago in Super Bowl XLVIII, when Manning wore No. 18 and Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson wore No. 3.
