I would like to extend my most sincere congratulations to the Denver Broncos fans on CP!
It was an honor to be beaten by the best. I know my boys will learn from this experience and this is not their last Super Bowl. Cam still has a lot of mileage on him.
Wish it was my Panthers that could come out on top but Peyton deserves this. What a legend. #KeepPounding

Anyone see Manning high five the Papa John guy immediately at the ending of the game when he was coming off the sideline. I thought that was pretty funny that the guy got to be on the sideline.
Hate the Broncos and wish they would be losers today but happy for Manning who's had a fantastic career.
Oh yeah forgot about that one, he might have been worse than Dilfer. I seem to remember that game was more of Oakland chocking than the Bucs putting up a dominate performance though.
It was a combination of the Raiders center going awol the day before the game and Gruden pretty well knowing the entire playbook as Callahan pretty well ran John's playbook without adding any wrinkles. I believe that was the last time where there wasn't a week between the conference finals and Super Bowl. An extra week would have done the Raiders a lot of good.

It's going to take a long time for him to live down not diving for that ball. If I'm his teammate I'm not exactly enamoured about him not giving his all in the big game and sacrificing himself.
The Broncos had 11 first downs, and really won pretty easily. I still think The Giants performance is unbeatable as best ever in a Super Bowl because they did it against the best offense ever. I'd put this at #3 behind the Seahawks in Super Bowl XLVIII too, also because they dominated a historic offense. What was exposed tonight was what everyone thought Carolina's problem would be all year, that they had no weapons outside Greg Olsen. Getting Benjamin back next year helps a lot, but they still need more.
Also be interesting to see how much Cam gets for not diving on that fumble. I get he was hurt but recovering that was the game. Gotta at least try.

officiating was very poor in that it was so one sided. denver got all the calls. now in saying that, they were the better team for sure and deserved to win but the refs were poor...

He's still got some growing up to do. When things are good he's smiling Cam. When not, this year and previous years, hes sulky Cam. Seattle played them a lot and didn't take much to get him rattled. Here is he as Seattle's coming back a few weeks ago. No longer the same guy that was smiling when up 31 points but they were still up 17, but things were not going his way.
Also, his grabbing of opponent team fan jerseys or signs and flags and disrespecting them, as he made a point of doing this year was pretty childish at best.
Miller was the only choice for MVP really, he not only deserved it he won the game for Denver. Nobody was close on either team to having as big of a game as Miller.
Unless you love Defense Defense Defense that was one the worst Superbowls i have ever seen. The offensive play calling was so bland. The only big play came off of a misread coverage on special teams. Nothing much to be excited about. No wow moments, just meh.
All i can hope is that the NFL's pride and joy drip Manning just retires.
Newton certainly did not play like a MVP in the most important game of his career.
It is funny i think of another destined HOF player...C.Woodson just walks away with class no farewell tour. Leaves as a probowler with respect amongst his teammates and opposition.
Manning i fully expect will milk every bit of attention and gratuities he can. Completely different characters.
