Super Bowl Prediction and Hall of Fame Thoughts

Superman Cam

The smart money is on the Carolina Panthers to win Super Bowl 50. If I was actually putting money down I would have to back the Panthers even though I don't like Cam Newton.

However, Super Bowl 50 has a Super Bowl III feel to me, if not to anyone else in punditry or the rest of the civilized world for that matter. The last line I've seen has the Panthers favored by 5.5 points and not many people are picking the Broncos.

For those of you born after 1980 the Packers had won the first two Super Bowls pretty handily and the Baltimore Colts (yes, there was a team in Baltimore before the Browns moved in the middle of the night to become the Ravens) were the Panthers of 1968-69 going 13-1 behind backup quarterback Earl Morrall, who had taken over for the legendary future Hall of Famer Johnny Unitas, who had injured his passing arm in the preseason.

The End of an Era

Sunday marks the end of an era, the Peyton Manning era. I know this has nothing to do with the Packers, but just as we were lucky to have witnessed the career of Brett Favre up close and personal we are also lucky to have been alive while Manning was in his prime. Love him or hate him or somewhere in between Manning is one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time hands down.

Peyton Manning on the Sidelines and Nearing the End

Sunday when the Broncos play the Chargers for the first time since Manning was a freshman at Tennessee in 1994 he will be active for a game and not be behind center on the first play snapping his starting streak at 334 games including post-season games.

Humbling Loss Indeed - More Like "Mike, We Have A Problem..."

McCarthy, We Didn't Break Their Rhythm

 

I am totally depressed after the debacle Sunday night at Mile High Stadium. It was so bad I left the Packer Backers and drove home before the end of the game.

 

What I saw was not only a loss, but an embarrassing display in front of a national audition which showed just one thing the 2015 Green Bay Packers are nothing more than a pretender to the crown.

 

The receivers couldn't get open, the line couldn't open holes, Eddie Lacy still has amnesia thinking he is on Dancing With The Stars, and most glaring and most disturbing Dom "FUCKING" Capers is still Defensive Coordinator of the Green Bay Packers.

 

The problems on the offense will hopefully be fixed unless the talent level is really below par, but I don't believe that. But as long as Dom Capers is in charge of the defense the Packers will never win another Super Bowl.

 

Capers needed to be fired last night at halftime and replaced by Winston Moss. Then Kevin Greene needs to be contacted and flown to Green Bay to take over the defense as soon as possible. I asked for Greene to take over after last season and all that happened was he quit the coaching staff in disgust.

 

What happened was a total disgrace and all the RC Packer Fans and Vic Ketchman's out there should take the bull by the tail and face the situation, the ugly dirty asshole with dingleberries hanging off of it of a situation that the Packers have a systemic problem on defense. Not an injury here or there. If that was the case then General Ted Thompson (another one of their and the TITs favorites) needs to be fired too for not providing adequate backups to step up in Thompson's famous "Next Man Up" philosophy.

 

The problem as it has been since 2011 is Dom Capers and his leadership and schemes. I am a broken record on "FIRING HIS ASS", but please, please, please listen to me. If Kevin Greene was so fed up that he won't return there has to be someone out there that is better than Dom Capers. Maybe the solution for the remainder of the season is for Mike McCarthy to take over as Defensive Coordinator.

 

How many embarrassments do we have to endure as we have the past two games? 1,048 yards given up in two games is.....I can't think of a word that properly describes how bad the defense is after starting out great. Especially, letting a diminished Peyton Manning complete passes at will behind a patchwork offensive line.

 

Even Mike McCarthy with his Capers' blinders on has to admit the Packers defense has hit a new low. Grow a pair McCarthy and do the only thing that will save this season and FIRE Capers today (Monday).

Peyton Manning

An interesting scenario seems to be forming along the corridor between Mile High Stadium and Soldier Field.
 

Over the weekend quarterback Peyton Manning was reported to have told John Elway that he was healthy and willing to return to the Broncos for another season.

(US Presswire)

 It wasn't a surprise to me. I said all along that Manning was going to return whether or not he was on one leg and possessed half a throwing arm. Manning is all about "me" and that means records and he wants to retire the holder of every passing record, which would mean breaking all of Brett Favre's records.

 

He broke Favre's record for touchdown passes this past season (530 to 508) and will break the yardage record (needing 2,148 yards and he will do that easily in the first eight games) next season. So reason one to return.

 

Now I will digress for a rant. There are two people that gripe my butt as far as breaking records. No. 1 A pretender like A. J. Hawk breaking a truly great outside linebacker John Anderson's Packer record for tackles. More on that later. No. 2 Peyton Manning break the touchdown passes record.
