The Panthers don’t really want to relive the nightmare, and the Broncos don’t want to live in the past.
National Football League coaches don’t relish playing Thursday night games after playing on a Sunday. “We didn’t have the success” in the Super Bowl. “I think we’ve got enough tape to kind of see what he does”. “He’s one of Cam’s favorite targets when he’s in there”. “Our qb sh*t the bed against them last time and we still beat the hell out of them”.
Perhaps no moment leading up to Super Bowl 50 was more significant than a sideline interaction between Kubiak and Manning during a loss to the Chiefs last November.
“If I had sons and they wanted to be quarterbacks, I’d point him in the direction of Cam Newton and Peyton Manning”.

Siemian, named the Broncos’ starter last week, who was the 250th overall pick (out of 256 total) in last year’s draft. “If we do that I believe we’ll put ourselves in an unbelievable position to do what we’re capable of doing, and that is to win this football game”. This was possible due to consistent superior offensive line play. This week, what Broncos are saying about this Thursday night’s game against the Panthers. It’s going to be a great opportunity for us and a great challenge. “I was waking up every day thinking, ‘Today’s the day.’ Around 1 o’clock in the afternoon everyday, I was like ‘Today is not the day.’ It was a disappointing way to go through each day”.
The Silver and Black have not made it to the post-season since 2002 and the halcyon days of extrovert owner Al Davis and head coach John Madden are a distant memory, but they once more look an organisation who could be ready for a huge breakout campaign. We were the number one passing defense in the league. They’re a great team. “It starts with [ILB] Luke [Kuechly]”.
