Watching the build up on CBS makes me sad for the demise of the FA Cup and the way that the Premiet League and Champions League have totally devalued that competition and what used to be the show piece occasion in the domestic sporting calendar. There's a lot to be said for building the whole season towards a big one off event like this.
I was thinking much the same about the FA cup watching the build up tonight
I much prefer the NFL to what the premier league has now become in recent years
Enjoyable first half so far, I think Denver are going to regret not making the most of their chances, they should be clear by now. Can see Cam coming to life second half
Not a high quality game. Denver playing the same way they have all year. Very good defence finding ways to win in spite of an inconsistent offence. The occasion has got to the Carolina players.
Different standard of football but Edmonton Eskimos win the Grey Cup this year by having a the best defence and a great quarter back. Denver may be able to the same here although Manning has not done anything particularly special yet.
Cam Newton's had a mare. Getting 7 shades beat out of him. Poor game but Denver deserve to win. Totally nullified anything Carolina offence had to offer.
Great defending from both sides granted, but my god that was boring, didn't help that I lost a bit of money on it too! had cam and ohlsen to score touch downs. Sad thing is I actually fancied Broncos before the game but ignored my gut instinct.

Poor running just then, didn't protect the ball and it popped out as soon as he's hit

Love a good defensive battle. Miller is gonna get a huge $$$$ this offseason.
This Denver defence is so impressive though.
