Rivera and Phillips are two of the best defensive minds in the game. Wade is faced with a much tougher task game planning for newtons ability with his legs. Going to be great to watch two great defenses. Hopefully the bears could get back to being a dominant defense soon.

Thanks for responding about the "D" factor in this game.


Your right Denver will have a much tougher time defending Newton's "dual-threat" capability......than the Panthers will hve with Manning.
I do wonder how Cam will hold up vs Von Miller and Ware

I think he's going to hold up well. I expect the Panthers to win convincingly.

Both are awesome but I would take the Broncos defense if given a choice. An argument can be made for either but the Broncos have a better pass rush and a more complete secondary. If you game-plan for Von Miller you leave yourself open to Ware, Jackson, and Wolfe. Beyond the starters the Broncos have Shane Ray and Shaq Barrett coming in fresh on rotation. Add in a secondary with Talib, Chris Harris and TJ Ward and a LB core with Marshall and Trevathan and you really couldn't ask for a better defense.

I'd give it to the Broncos by a bit. Von Miller is a beast and his buddies are damn good also.

Well I thought Brady wouda' faired better....but he didn't. He was hit a lot. Can Denver's "D" duplicate that vs Cam.....in your opinion

Yeah.....that's what my friends say too.



How do u think Manning will do vs the Panther "D"? Does he even have a chance

I'd say...he has an uphill battle. I don't like his chances. I expect something like panthers 30 broncos 13

On D, gotta go with the Broncos. Carolina has a tendency to fade late in the game. Despite their great record, there were a lot of games where they just barely managed to hold on to significant leads.

If we are comparing offense then I would say Panthers. The Panthers D will have it easier with the Broncos O IMO, but I also don't think the Broncos D will have too many problems with any O if they continue to play the way they have. The Panthers looked dominant against AZ but if you look at how that defense is built it isn't surprising. Cardinals are a small fast D that is tough to throw on but susceptible to getting run on and while they have a strong secondary they lack pass rush.

Broncos D is a different animal. They get to the QB as well as they cover down field and they stop the run. I would take that defense over any in the league at this point.

Cause they don't have the Peyton Manning of age 36 and younger.

Denver has a better defense all around. They are able to match up with any team and play stout against the run and pass. They hit hard and aren't afraid to get dirty. Game planning against Wade Phillips is no easy task, even with Cam Newton.
On the flip side. Carolina's D matches up perfectly against Denver's O. Keuchly will limit Manning's middle routes. Demarius Thomas has stone hands lately and can be shut out of games.
If the Denver D can duplicate their performance against the Pats, they will win. If Manning has to carry the team, Panthers win.

Was going to go with Denver. Need to see injury report. Looked like they lost a couple defensive players vs. NE. Not sure how severe.
