they totally LUCKED into a win today. Happy for Manning.
You can tell the refs were punishing Cam Newton for him talking shit about them during the season - it's 4th and 24, and DEN clearly late hits him in the endzone.... no call. Manning totally gets that call.
Manning just made an extra $40 mil by going out on top like this, between endorsements and the CBS or ESPN desk he'll be sitting at next season. Bye bye boomer esiason.
Please. Defense wins championships and Denver's was insane tonight.
You could say Newton was worse, because he's 20x more mobile than Manning, and his arm is 20x stronger, and he didn't do shit.
This is the exact type of game you get with two dominating defenses and an aging, immobile QB. And Carolina got away with about 5 blatant holds, no penalty for bumping the punt returner BEFORE he caught the ball, no penalty for a guy on the sidelines pushing an on field player, and the personal foul on Denver when they hit a guy who was still up was BS. Carolina got screwed on the 1st challenge bad too. Referees sucked badly tonight for both.
