Superman ran into Kryptonite at the Super Bowl 50!
Panthers QB Cam Newton – the face of the NFL and MVP – was a no show. As was the entire Panther offense. Denver’s defense was so good, it didn’t need an offense. Manning threw for a Super Bowl winning team, record low of 141 yards. He had no touchdown passes and was sacked 5 times, yet the Broncos still WON a 24-10 upset shocker.
I was wrong, wrong and wrong on this game.
The Panthers dropped countless throws, made tons of stupid, bad plays, including six offensive pre-snap offsides and poor special teams play. Oh yeah, and a missed field goal and fumbles by Newton.
In fact, the two biggest mistakes of game were on Cam.
An early strip fumble courtesy of game MVP Von Miller went for a Bronco’s TD and a second one in the fourth quarter ended the game. For some odd reason, Newton didn’t even try and jump on his own fumble on third down deep in his own territory. The Broncos got the ball, scored and the game was over.
Denver’s Wade Phillips called a great defensive game. 
The Panthers were confused and beaten by halftime.
The speed of the Denver defense overwhelmed Newton and the Panthers. Newton looked exhausted and had that, “I don’t know what the hell to do” look on his face at the end of the first half. He never came back from it, nor did the Panthers.
So Denver QB Peyton Manning goes out a winner.
Hey, he deserves it for the long and great career he gave the NFL – four Super Bowls with two wins. On the other side, Cam Newton has much to prove.
Did this destroy Newton’s MVP season?
In many ways it did.
Newton just could not get his team back in the game. His running the ball accomplished little. His throwing was off and many passes had no touch or direction. Worse yet, Newton had zero answer for the Broncos mighty rush.
And zero touchdowns running or throwing. None.
The single Carolina score was by his running back, thats it. The Panthers defense for the most part stopped Denver’s not very impressive offense. Yet Denver did end up with 24 points – enough to win with ease.
It felt like the Panthers were never really in this game from the start.
The Broncos went down the field on the opening kick off and got a field goal on Manning’s best throwing and best drive. Kinda like the New England game. Then the Panthers and Cam lost the ball on a strip fumble and score and game over – Denver 10 Panthers 0.
It was one hell of a year in the NFL.
A veteran Denver team that had so many different stories unfolding all year, including the final season of a legend, Peyton Manning – so many ups and downs. In the end Peyton got his Super Bowl win and like his boss John Elway he goes out a winner.
Newton has many years ahead of him, but right now his future as NFL’s face and best player is in question. It’s wait til next year for Cam and the Panthers.
Hey, on an interesting side note:
The Chiefs offense played much better in games against Denver.
KC won one and should have won both.
Maybe even with QB Alex Smith the Chiefs can get to and win a Super Bowl. The KC defense is not too far behind Denver. The Broncos won with defense, not offense. So it can be done.
So what comes next?
A ton of Peyton Manning commercials and all eyes on Cam Newton to see if he is the real deal or not. He has a lot more to prove now.
the fact is that you are always wrong glaze.
You know nothing about sports except the prop bet that gets you in trouble
every year called the tease. A real suckers bet for sure.
And speakin of suckers you continue this low level educational ability to
be wrong in stats/info/and other important data that gives you a
way to pick a winner.
Experience: Kubiak lost 3 super bowls but won 3. Rivera I don’t think had
been in a super bowl. Experience in this game with it’s different accents and
increased public awareness are very hard to train for and since many of
denvers team had been on a superbowl team before they had super bowl
experience.
Manning: smartest qb in nfl history. And he had something to prove after
their last debacle in the big game. With an incredible defense like Denver’s plus
their ability to take the outside away from newton (which they did with brady)
they cut the time newton had to throw and forced some terrible passes.
BUT GLAZE DOESN’T GET IT. HE DOESN’T KNOW THESE THINGS.
ESSENTIALLY YOU’RE BLIND TO EVERY STAT AND PIECE OF INFORMATION
THAT MATTERS IN MAKING THIS DECISION.
In other words Carolina was unprepared for this type of defense. Denver I
think was the #1 defense in the nfl….and defense beats offense.
Cam has many years left but after their first super bowl they’ll have to
rebuild that defense and add another receiver.
All for naught. If the chiefs make the right moves such as adding another
#1 or #2 receiver this offseason….plug the holes in the defense such as
backfield they will be in the bowl next year. They are close. But if they
fail to make some serious changes and additions they’ll be a one and done
playoff team.
Now glaze…go to your room. No cocoa crispies for a week…and stop
pretending to be a sports analyst.
Stick to porn stars….hotties…..strippers….hos and young girls.
When will you learn from Harley. You know nothing about sports.
However when is the snl guy coming back. Looking forward to seeing him
live (tim meadows) and eatin some dr. pepper ribs.
good luck…
your friend

Sorry. Didn’t like him at aubbie. Don’t like him now. He’s a punk. He will shove it in your face when he wins, but is a sore loser when he loses. I saw the after game interview live. He basically proved what i felt about him to be true. The reigning mvp doesn’t do that. You do your dab crap and showboat after a TD, then take your medicine when you lose.
I just had to laugh when the game is on the line, he fumbles the ball and he just watches it. He absolutely could not just sit there and watch it and he did, thus killing any chances of winning the game.
Sorry, but he deserved to lose.
Oh and one good thing about this Super Bowl is that we don’t have to hear the word Dab for a while.
Cam “Super Man” Newton must have thought there was Kryptonite it that fumbled football.
Yesterday was not a good day for the NFL. The guy the media two weeks ago called the new face of the NFL acted like a spoiled baby in a press confrence. When the game was on the line he didn’t dive for a fumble. In the biggest game of his life so far the MVP played like garbage.
Now the big question in the off season will be this. Who is $cam Newton? Is he John Elway, and go back to the SB? Or will he be Dan Marino and be one and done?
I’ll say this though. Out of the three, I’d take Andrew Luck and R Wilson any day over $cam.
Broncos 24 pretenders 10 – “there… that wasn’t so good now, was it” comes to mind. With no apologies to that ‘carolina clown’: you don’t send a boy to do a Man(ning)’s job.
Just how embarrassing was the evidenced ‘cam the sham’? Where to begin, on the field or off, and how much time & internet paper have we?
Not satisfied choke afield, face the NFL was ‘newtered’ sideline, 6’6 260 lb. man-child flopping ground, affirming MVP voting as teams/stats today aren’t what they used to be terms integrity, relevance. That it wasn’t an reaction to his own poor performance, rather to his teammates giving up the clinching td to Denver, recalled Grbac’s “I can’t throw the ball & catch it too” quip.
Not to be outdone post game, ‘Camera’ managed to make fellow stoic & hoodie-wearing counterpart Bill Beli-cheat appear rather gabby, comparison, ‘the dab’ silenced this day at least, mouth that roared become a whisper.
On the field, when he wasn’t hitting the turf 7 times sacks or turning the other cheek his 7 x 70, he was fumbling the ball away twice & throwing an interception once while completing less than half his passes, contributing directly 14 of Denver’s 24 points the game.
Well, that’s the problem in today’s NFL: be too many people interested in being showy, epitomized by the carolina clown, but also affirmed by an over-populated cadre others, testosterone run amok (swiss fans understand – the likes such prima dona’s as travass kelce, dinkle-berry, justine houston, jemima charles & toast peters ours, among others.
From arm-waving “first down!” machinations following routine plays delivered by way wannabe referee’s in helmets & pads… Broncos WR Sanders & Pretenders CB Norman, imaginary pistola-shooting fingers/hand-jive otherwise & of course a criminal element, epitomized by Denver’s Talib, who fell flat on his face not only during the game but aft, running to his interview on-air, in hopes of beating his gums about himself some more (this aft beating his opposition the field, figuratively & literally.) Fans every team are the same way, in every city, dissing the opposing city, team, its players and fans, same narrative and verbally at minimum, physically too, too many cases.
Upshot: what was once football has devolved into such. Well, you live by the dab and you die by it, and so it was for cam the sham and the pretenders, carolina… alas next game, next year & the ones follow, same thing will continue to happen, same players and new ones more interested beating own chest, blowing own horn. Oh, the gold I’d give return the golden days lived that golden age pro football, 1960’s.

Random retorts, Kerouac’s…
“Manning threw for a Super Bowl winning team, record low of 141 yards.”
– just one yard less than the 142 by the Chiefs Len Dawson in Superbowl IV (another old QB and Hall of Famer as Manning – best QB of his era – soon will be.)
“The Chiefs offense played much better in games against Denver. KC won one and should have won both.”
– that’s always the way it is, always a loser’s lament: shoulda, coulda, woulda… if only’s and yeah buts, etc. swiss couldn’t beat Manning in 2015 either – either in KC his over the hill act or out in Denver, when he had to leave that game (and sat out many more that followed) due injury (proof that the swiss were lucky to win even an single game: Manning’s replacement, an imminently forgettable if not invisible 6’8 QB by the name of Osweiler put up more points in just one quarter, the 4th, than the swiss/alice smith could in the entire game.
Looking ahead, 2016 AFC West:
Up and coming Raiders and ‘World Champion’ Broncos will battle for first place, while the veteran Chargers will nab third place & the ever-overhyped swiss will once more do what they do best… disappoint.
Congratulations Peyton Manning & the ‘2015 WORLD CHAMPION’ DENVER BRONCOS’
