If Denver brings the pass rush they had against the Pats and sound fundamentals the Carolina offense may be in for a surprise. One of the problems Seattle had is they had no pass rush in the divisional game whereas in the regular season game where Cam was pressured his first 3 quarters had his Passer rating below 20 with a couple turnovers and barely 100 yards. If you don't pressure Cam he and that offense are going to stampede you.
On Denver's side, if their offense has any hope they need to give Peyton time and Peyton needs to play like a game manager. D Thomas needs to step up and play up to his contract.
I would like to see Peyton retire on the upside but it really comes down to whose defense shuts down who. I think the 2015 version of Manning if more prone to absolute implosion while 2015 Cam under pressure just looks pedestrian.
Talking about QBs under pressure, a tip of the hat to Brady: For the amount of pressure he was under the fact he was a toss away from a tie says a lot. If they hadn't missed the extra point or had simply gone for the FG earlier that game could have been different. (Could have, not would have.) Same thing with Wilson. Seasons down the drain due to inept offensive lines.
