Well, it's an annual ritual at my place, something I look forward to and enjoy no matter which teams make it.
This year I found the officiating frustrating, several calls or non-calls favoured Denver it seemed and they were game changers to boot.
The juggle and catch just before Newton got stripped and the Broncos defense scored with a recovery in the end-zone was not overturned when it was obviously a catch, quite disgraceful I thought.
That being said, the Denver defense was again exceptional and deserved the result, they proved once again why they are the number one D in the NFL this season.
Panthers may need to lose one to come back and win one, they were a little over awed on offense and Cam wasn't quite Cam today.
As the saying goes, offense wins games, defense wins championships.
