...Can someone give me a valid rationale for the Panthers punting the ball away with 2 minutes on the clock while down two touchdowns? Sure it was 4th and long from deep in their own half when they did so, but surely the punt is just as losing as going for it on 4th and not making it? Surely praying for a special teams turnover there (and it would have to be special teams, because as I recall the Broncos just ran the ball up the middle and kneeled subsequently) is less valid than trying to go deep?
(Maybe I'm just too much of a baseball guy and don't get this football stuff, but that seemed dumb to me.)Hell and a LB won the MVP
There wasn't much offence going on today.
The bookies lost a lot of cash today.

Don't disagree that the zebras blew some in Denver's favor...but 6 false starts, umpteen 1 and 2 yard runs on 1st down IN A ROW, special team screw ups like blocks in the back and letting the kick returner loose for 60 yards, many turnovers, dropped passes, Newton NOT running, missed throws and a makeable FG and Carolina seemed to do it's best to do the things to lose-Cost me a few hundred and was disappointed-Carolina's defense did its job, but no one else on the team did-Denver deserved the win...Carolina did not 1rob....a tad poorer today....out
what I am puzzled about is I don't think they even mentioned the Carolina all pro tackle (Short?) all game. Did he not show up, or were they letting him be held?
Panthers, they STILL would have lost.
They were just out played and exposed.
