SB 50

[TW]

Earlier in this thread I made these comments:

The issue will be decided by Denver's defense. They are capable of playing well enough to keep almost any team below 17 points. If they get to Newton early, and often enough, he'll start throwing early, and that will turn the tide towards the Broncos.

On the other hand, if Manning plays ball control football, and they don't turn it over, but Carolina does, it could be an upset with the Broncos taking home the prize.

The Broncos lived up to their expectations. They pretty much owned Newton all night.

i am glad Denver won. i say this after the fact. why? because when i say the Panthers qb NOT dive after the football when he fumbled it, i thought, gee, this is ' THE BIGGEST GAME , THIS IS THE SUPER BOWL! and he did not risk himself to try and make a recover,then he is not a team player, and certainly did not give 100% Manning showed that he should retie, Newton showed that he needs much more to learn to be an elite QB.AND a team player. my two cents.

I thought it was a sloppy game by both teams. Denver's D was obviously the difference. I was happy to see Manning go out on top. I didn't like the Budweiser comments after the game. Not the message I like being sent to kids, but I still think he's a class act. I was also happy to see Newton lose. He showed his true colors last night by walking out of the press conference. Overall, I found the game to be pretty boring.

Thoughts:

Boring game.
I didn't care who won, just hoping for a good game.
Great D by Denver.
Denver got a few early calls go there way.
Talib not impressive, Von Miller was.
I'm a Cam fan, but not in this game. Very talented and he has been a fun QB to watch this year. Kids sure like him! However, I do hope maturity comes with this experience.
Even though he didn't do much, this SB victory is a good game for Manning to retire from!
I hear Budweiser did NOT pay him to endorse their product, twice. I did hear that Manning is heavily invested in a couple Budweiser distributorships, though!
