I was at that game and it was the strangest thing I'd ever seen watching sports, ever. We fumbled like 5/6 plays in a row or something bananas (I can't bear myself to read that whole article).

This is a retarded amount of delay and filler before kickoff.

Dude this looking at who's holding their hand on their heart thing is silly. Kudos to Brandon Marshall though.

Wait, the team doctor and trainer make the final call on concussions, not the independent 3rd party?! C'mon NFL, drop the charade that you actually care about player safety.

Disappointed Peyton didn't show up in a wifebeater and boxers.

When Newton is laying on the sideline being tended to for injury, the play "Kryptonite" on the outro to commercial. This made me cackle like a madman.

Aaron Rodgers did it right showing up in the white T as the college gameday guest

Denver escapes. Trevor Siemian #1 QB in the NFL

I like the win probability feature ESPN added. About the only good thing about their website change

surprised Gano missed. Thought he was going to win it for them for sure

I can't believe those penalties they called in the last 2 mins. First the rubbish hands to the face, then the offset. Insanity.

That Panthers secondary may turn out to be a dumpster fire, I was really surprised at just how bad they were in the first half. Bad technique, poor tackling. First game is basically a preseason game anyways now I guess.

@cLutZ, reffing was pretty poor but that was clear hands to the face. (The rule might be dumb but the call was correct.)

@giftdgecko, it's definitely harder to gameplan when you don't really know how the O will play but I think the CAR secondary will pick up.

Yes, it was a "foul", in the same way there is a hold of that level every play. I just have a trouble with that call because its one of those "unavoidable" penalties on the defense where a natural defensive play becomes a "foul" like 80% of roughing the passer calls. The offset was similar, but less bad, but how does that defender both hit Cam, given the field and players around him, without helment2helmet contact? Its not possible. Offense remains far too coddled in this league, and its bad for the game. First it makes tiny QB differentials way too important, and second it severely devalues great defenses like this Broncos D (which if it was an offense we would be talking about whether they could 3-peat already).
