This could be the humility that we need to perform well in the playoffs.

SD is gonna go cross country and beat a Tampa team that needs to win to clinch a playoff spot

I know a SD loss before our game would clinch the division, yet there is no way we should lose the the Bills.

man take a drink. You are too heavly invested in the outcome of a game. I love my Broncos but if they lose I dont go overboard and start jumping ship and thinking the sky is falling.

I disagree.

Part of the reason this loss is so frustrating is because it feels like we were outcoached by a lesser coach.

I know the players made some bad plays and didn’t necessarily help the cause at every opportunity.

I think we have as much or more talent on our team.

But I feel some of the defensive AND offensive playcalling was suspect.

What is really frustrating is that our team just didn’t show up today. From the coaches to the players. I’m sure Carolina fans will think they beat us…but they didn’t play the same team that the Broncos are capable of being.

Why do they just take a Sunday off sometimes?

You’ve made three post now and not even one coherent thought.

Seriously…that’s impressive.

Seriously, if you are going to go to another teams fan site to talk mess, for God’s sake either learn how to spell first, or elect some genius, redneck ambassador from whatever backwoods, jerkwater, God-forsaken part of Carolina you are from, and have him try to convey a clear message to the people you are trying to belittle.

Give it up.

I live in NC, and it’s people like you (or at least people with an attitude similar to yours) that sometimes make me wish I didn’t. Well that and the tarheels, but thats a whole other issue. Just try to remember that, while you are not in any way associated with the team you follow, people still judge all fans of that team by your behavior. Thankfully, you are not a very good example of many Panthers fans, but I feel sorry for the rest of the Panthers fans that will be written off because you act like a jackass.

LOL…how pathetic. I can understand a typo hear and there, but did you ever get past the 3rd grade? My 9 year old has better spelling and grammar than that. Good lord…the website spell checks as you type even!

Get back under your bridge and for goodness sake go back to school!

which tells you all you need to know. He’s trolling cause it makes him feel big i guess. You can find cracks like this all over the country

I agree with many points, and I will be cheering as loud as i have for the past 9 years next Sunday.
I am a coach myself, and heres my biggest disappointment with this game.
I tell my kids to always finish what they started. If that means leading a race and winning it, then cool. If that means falling down, getting up and losing by miles, then so be it, but AT LEAST finish the race: finish what you started.
ALl I wanted is for our team to play hard, and for the coaches to coach hard, until games end. This did not happen, and these guys are better than that.
I am ashamed of their effort, and more, I am REALY ashamed of the coaches. This game was devoid of passion and heart.
NO WAY is this team 20 points worse than the Panthers.
I hope (and I think we will) bring it against the Bills. Bit this is not the kind of game that instills confidence in anyone.
Enjoy the week man, and look forward to your posts this week.

Thanks for that….

Come 2010, this league won’t know what hit it!!!

Great perspective and recommended.

Bring on the Bills!

yet had no-one to answer for Steve Smith. The mistake, however wasn’t our defense, it was our offense looking for big plays when the 5 to 8 yard ‘West Coast’ style is what we do best. We DID stuff your run and will do it again if we meet. You better hope if you make the Super Bowl that it isn’t us you are facing.

We look forward to the opportunity to be engaged in another one of your stimulating conversations. You have done your fanbase proud, with your vast football knowledge, and communication skills.
Take care.
Bye bye.
And stay in school.
And don’t do anymore drugs.
Just kidding.
But seriously, punch your mom in the face next time you see her. The injustice she served you is reprehensible. Nearly criminal.

In fact, I will extend you an invitation to MHR Bronco Con, so I can personally kick your ass there. Have fun getting embarrassed by the Giants next week.

But I will be back some day when you least expect it.

How can you say you will be back when all of your 10 comments are on this site? Don’t want to post over a CSR?

And it’s for replying. And you’re pissing me off. Seriously. Get the fuck out of here. You are not welcome. We don’t care about anything you have to say. You’re easily as bad as Spermy from the Dolphins blog.

Just a quick glance at my profile would reveal that my NFL team is, in fact, the Broncos (hint: click on my name). Nowhere does it say anything about the Panthers. I have no beef with them, but I’m a Denver native and a die-hard Bronco’s fan, I just currently live in NC. Don’t worry, though, I’ll be leaving your beloved state as soon as I graduate. The beaches are nice, but the rest of NC isn’t that great. The weather sucks, and unfortunately a disproportionate percentage of the people, such as yourself, are idiots.

PS: Learn how to spell (some paragraph breaks would be nice as well). I feel sorry for my father, who grew up in NC, that his home state is stereotyped as being a bunch of dumb rednecks. It’s easy to see why, though, when the most vocal examples of North Carolinians are as ignorant and belligerent as yourself. Go crawl back into whatever hole you call home.

is that it seemed that even though we all knew that the Panthers were a better team and would probably win, the Broncos players seemed to get that vibe and decided it wasn’t worth the effort to play for the full 60 minutes.

I agree that Carolina deserves the credit for fielding a superior team, but after the first quarter (when we were still in it and playing competitively) we just seemed to lose all of our fight and just kind of went through the motions so that they game would end. I believe that is what boydy is saying when he says that he was disappointed and I have to agree with him. Even if we lost by the same score but we saw some emotion out of the offense (specifically) and a little bit of hustle to the line of scrimmage (as pointed out by the announcers there was no lack of urgency) when the game was still within reach.

I guess this all goes along with a young team. After all, I was one of those that said that we would go 10-6 this year and if we can pull our heads out, that is still attainable (though I don’t like our chances in the playoffs, especially in the second round).

Gimme your contact info so I can send you a pay stub in about 5 years. I definitely support the schooling portion, why else do you think i’m still here? In-state tuition to one of the best engineering schools in the country (at least in my field) is not a bad deal. I apologize for omitting that earlier.

Also, full of idiots is not what I said. If you had any reading comprehension you would know that what I said was that there seems to be a larger percentage of idiots here than elsewhere. Also, your argument against that really doesn’t hold any weight since athletic ability doesn’t necessarily require brains.

And don’t worry… I won’t hold this against you anymore, the fact that the Wolfpack had the pleasure of ruining the poor little EZU pirates season is enough to assuage my conscience. By the way, I can’t imagine that you are that great a computer guy if you can’t spell. All the programming that I have done requires very precise syntax and spelling…

PS: They’ve written songs about Colorado as well… Imagine that… (“Rocky Mountain High” anyone?)

If that is the case, I am guessing that a ECU degree is like toilet paper. But I seriously doubt either of your statements are true. My guess is that you really hail from South Carolina and are really have nothing to be happy with in your own life, and lets face it, South Carolina is the same as West Virgina minus the overt inbredding. I considered relocating to Concord a few years back and I met tons of great people from North Carolina, and outside of the humidity, I probably would of moved there. So I don’t want to bash NC or the people that live there because they seemed very nice to me. But you need to realize that winning a game against the Broncos isn’t the Super Bowl, does Carolina have a very good team, yes, did you get the better of a young and battered team this week, yes, congrats, you won a game you were supposed to win. But save the hurrahs when you actually accomplish something.

And STOP taking these:

resisting urge to spar with the mental midget…

I prefer Pantherman’s straight shit-talking and totally incoherent style to Southtunnel’s gloating under the guise of “here I was trying to say that I respect the Broncos have injuries”. That’s BS…he’s here to gloat. If you’re going to be a shit talker…don’t do it under a “whoah is me…I’m trying to be the ‘good guy’” facade. He’s not even man enough to straight shit talk. If he was trying to be a ‘good guy’ he wouldn’t be here. I’m surprised more people here don’t see through his BS.

But don’t hate the other team because of some douche. I myself like the panthers. I went for them against TB, and I’ll root for them against the Giants, but thats because I always root against the giants, probably because MSM has already crowned the Giants the best football team in the NFL, (or maybe because my sister-in-law is a giants fan).

But anyways to get back on track, Even in spite of the idiot, I wouldn’t be opposed to the panthers going all the way this year. I mean it’s pretty obvious our Broncs aren’t gonna make it that far, which is OK.

I mean, if someone told you at the beginning of the year that for a period of 4 games, that all 3 linebackers would be injured and there backups in, and no running back on the roster will be healthy enough for more than 2 games, which 5 of them would be placed on IR, and the broncos will make the playoffs and win there division…

Well you would of told me to share….

That Texas has the most morons of any state?

Because you’d be right.

because soon the broncos will reward your support with a championship. oh, it’s definitely coming. maybe next year. if it takes longer than 3 seasons, i would be shocked. hang in there, it’ll be worth it

doesn’t mean that I’ve given up on them. I can see them beating Bills then finishing the sweep in SD to finish the season and possibly when their first playoff game (though I’m not so confident after that).

I’ve been a fan too long to let things like the Carolina game cause me to give up hope (the closest I have come was when Wade’s team went 8-8). They are right on track with where I thought they would be this year and I see great things for them in the coming years when they get their RBs back and a good defensive draft in ’09.
