The expectations. The Panthers start this season where they left off and it will be the first game of the season vs the Broncos, with the Broncos starting a new quarterback and the Panthers are definitely not going to forget the loss in the super bowl so the Panthers should win this game and their first 6 games.

While a football-hungry nation readily accepts storylines of retribution, the Carolina Panthers don’t seem to have revenge on the mind in Thursday’s Super Bowl rematch at Denver.
Cam Newton should play much better this time around against the Denver Broncos.
“Our preparation will be different, and we will be locked and loaded and ready to go Thursday”, Newton said.
Von Miller’s two sack-strips of Cam Newton in Super Bowl 50 were just the start of his torment of Carolina’s quarterback. “But it didn’t work that way”, Rivera said.
They certainly delivered what could turn out to be a statement performance in mid-December past year when Mack helped himself to five sacks in a 15-12 success over the eventual Super Bowl champs and it is that sort of effort which should give them a huge amount of belief going forward.
The Broncos took full advantage, disguising coverages and sending extra pass rushers at Newton as part of their “green dog” blitz package.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. The jovial, fun-loving and wide-smiling Cam Newton was nowhere to be found Sunday.
“They have a couple of guys who went elsewhere; we have a couple of guys who went elsewhere, as well as got some additions. It’s not a rematch”, Newton said Sunday, via the Associated Press. A lot has changed since February 7, and the Week 1 matchup could produce a much different result with the two teams heading in opposite directions.
“We’re trying to get guys on the same page”, Newton said. “We’ve got a fullback that can really play in (Andy) Janovich and who does a great job”.
“It’s very pivotal”, Stewart said. “You catch yourself in third-and-8 or third-and-11, it’s tough on an offensive coordinator, it’s tough on the quarterback, it’s tough on the offensive line to grasp the situation”.
Tight end Greg Olsen said that Panthers simply made too many mistakes in the last meeting – whether it was missing a blocking assignment, not being in the right place on a route or dropping passes.
The defending Super Bowl champion Denver Broncos are coming from a 38-17 loss to the Arizona Cardinals in a preseason game.
“We’ve all dreamed playing prime-time football. It’s going to be a really knockdown, drag-out and we’re going to be prepared for it”.
It’s a fair point for the players to make-Carolina has lost Josh Norman and gained Kelvin Benjamin.
When they first faced each other in 2012, Miller had a half-dozen tackles and a sack in Denver’s 36-14 win at Carolina, where he imitated Newton’s Superman celebration after taking him down.
Even when it comes to the first injury report for the first game of the regular season, it’s rare for an National Football League team to have a clean bill of health. “I don’t walk around thinking about him 24/7”, Brown said. “I think everybody is ready for it, and we’re all excited”. “I’m more focused on getting the victory”. “He will never have my number”. But Miller said he didn’t pay much attention to the Panthers’ blocking scheme.

“I’m not 100 percent, but way better”, Marlowe said. “He’s a deep, really big receiver – really talented, very fast and can jump. If we exceed it, that’s even better for it”. “I’m totally comfortable in the no-fly zone’s ability to play the pass this game”.
