Aiding Peyton Manning’s Return: Tiring, but Not Thankless

About two hours before kickoff Sunday, one of the most important members of the Denver Broncos will walk onto the field at Levi’s Stadium to prepare for the Super Bowl. He plans to run for a bit, and catch 50 to 75 passes. After finishing his pregame routine, he will retreat to the locker room, cool down and change.

Then he will watch the game from the sideline.

Jordan Taylor’s contributions to the Broncos’ postseason push can be quantified by what he wore on the team’s charter flight to California: a custom-fitted charcoal suit that, he said, was the nicest he has ever worn, and probably ever will.

Peyton Manning purchased that suit for him, as well as two shirts and ties, as a token of appreciation — to thank Taylor, a spindly rookie on Denver’s practice squad, for extending his career.



Nice gesture on Peyton's part.

That was a pretty good read. I remember Manning mentioning him after the SD game.

part of the poblem right now is that there's been 2 weeks of prognostication and everyone that gets a camera jammed in their face gives you their 2 cents on how this team or that team can win/lose the game.

and it all makes sense, in the general football philosophy world of how you win.

but then you still have to look at what these teams do, and who they are. and it still comes back to Carolina has to help Denver win.

if we don't turn it over, and run the ball, i don't see Denver's offense outscoring us.

i don't see Denver lining up and just beating us straight up. and while i certainly respect Denver's defense, this offense it's going up against just isn't the type of offense that gets dominated.

i think its the best defense we've played all year, but i know this is the best, and most physical, offense they've played all year.

and i still like our defensive front against their O line.

just don't turn it over and make dumb mistakes.

the scariest thing for me right now is if this is the game that brown and ginn decide to have the dropsies again...because they will both have opportunities to impact this game.

I may be reading this wrong, but are you saying if the Broncos win, it'll be because the Panthers lost the game and not because the Broncos are a better team?

Pet peeve, they aren't wearing the uniforms they'll be wearing in the actual game. Broncos are wearing white, Panthers black.

Like in Rocky when they had his shorts wrong on the picture in the arena.

in the most simplistic terms, yes. i think Carolina will have to do some things not in their character this year to lose this game.

As with any game in the NFL, either team has a legitimate shot to win. The Broncos are a good team, so they certainly have ample opportunity on Sunday. That being said, if these teams meet 10 times straight this season, then Carolina wins at least 7 of them. Given that's the case, it is most probable that the Super Bowl will account for one of those hypothetical wins. Out of those 7 wins, I think it most probable that the Panthers would win by at least a TD 5 times. I'm going to say that the Panthers win by 10-13 on Sunday.

I think the Broncos are going to play their best game of the year and win by 4.

You've got the #1 Defense feeling disrespected. And Manning with 2 weeks off to work in a few wrinkles.

I think it will come down to the final drive with Denver getting a defensive stop to clinch it.

I like that, Manning and wrinkles

I know that there will be people that disagree, but I think that the Broncos are a better team. I think this will be a tight game, but Peyton gets the Broncos into position on the final drive for a McManus game winning fg.

Denver: 20
Carolina: 17

I agree - or it could be a pick 6 that wins it (either way) For me the toughest SB to pick in recent years

But I like seeing Peyton in orange. :)

The Broncos aren't a better team. They're hoping to be the team that plays a better game.

Super Bowl 50 -- Late money on Denver Broncos, not Carolina Panthers

The early betting action on Super Bowl 50 in Las Vegas was lopsided toward the favored Carolina Panthers.

That is changing. So much money has been showing up on the Denver Broncos recently that some sportsbooks are beginning to wonder if they'll be rooting for the Panthers come Sunday.

On Saturday, the Panthers were consensus 5.5-point favorites. They had opened as low as 3.5 favorites and attracted the bulk of the early money -- as much as 90 percent at some Nevada sportsbooks.

But a midweek flurry of big bets on Denver from respected players, followed by weekend money on the underdog Broncos, evened out the action.

I think Panthers are the favorites and that Cam is the X factor. Both Peyton and Cam have great defenses, but one can change a defense entirely with a little bit of movement in the pocket. Hope we see vintage Peyton to offset it. Up to Peyton to deliver speedy passes on the money before he gets hit.

I'm hoping the Broncos win because of Peyton otherwise I would have been rooting for Carolina in this match up.
My prediction Denver wins 21-20.
