What I posted on FB about it:
Carolina deserved that loss...
Their defense was pretty solid, like they have been... The offense was just crap. They just could not consistently keep the defenders off Newton and that was all it took to make it a one sided game.
I told my wife early on that one of the things that they had done very well over the last couple of months is to hammer in 3 or 4 scores very early on in a game and then sorta coast through the rest of the game while their defense held the other team... They failed to do that tonight, largely because of a lack of protection on the QB.
That said, the majority of the A ranked players on the team are very young and next year and perhaps the next few years will almost certainly be very interesting years to watch...
On a similar note, I told my wife before the game that if I had not been a Carolina transplant in recent years, I would most likely be rooting for Denver. Solely because I think very highly of Manning and he has a very distinguished career that stretches for my entire adult life and this was likely his last game... If anyone deserves a win like tonight, it is him.
On a different note, I really hope the guy who pulled that face mask penalty early in the game gets hit with a fine that makes my annual income look like peanuts...
Oh and on a final note... The commercials were crap... Seriously, I expected more.
Oh and who ever did the sound engineering for halftime should be fired... There is no excuse for the audio being so bad that you cant hear the singers, I have heard better audio from 300 person concerts at nightclubs...
