No.. and I don't think Denver wants to. I think Denver simply wants Cam to stay in the pocket and beat them with the pass. This will allow their secondary to make plays... if they get pressure on Cam, he will simply beat them with his legs.. its a double edged sword but IMO, the Broncos DB have a better chance at beating Cam than do the front 3 or 4 rushers...
I don't necessarily agree....against Az, he only rushed for 47 yards. Cam hurt them with his arm, I believe he threw for around 350 yards....they only sacked him 1 time....again, if they can get pressure on him with 3 guys and hit him, you can afford to spy him if he escapes....Ariz didn't pressure him and he carved them up

Cam has proven that he can win with his arm. However, I think I would make those Carolina WRs have to prove to me one more time that they can get it done. I still think it is ridiculous that Carolina could win a SB with Ted Ginn, Jr and Corey Brown as the two main wideouts. Perhaps Denver can man them up and call it a day? This would free up other defenders. However, Greg Olsen has really been a difference maker; he has been great all season. Why did the Bears trade him again?
Denver is 5-2 in the regular season vs postseason teams and Carolina is 3-0. Both teams are 2-0 in the playoffs vs playoff teams. You seem to be including Denver's postseason games, but not Carolina's? 5-0 seems pretty respectable to me. I agree Denver had a tougher schedule though.
Yes you are correct but also not totally. We mistakenly excluded their 2 playoff games.
But they played Washington too so Carolina played 4 playoff teams in the regular season.
Denver played NE, Pitt, and KC twice as well as Cincy, Green Bay, and Minnesota, a very tough schedule and only 3 of those teams scored over 20 points.

Ah, 4-0. I was forgetting about Houston, not Washington. Anyway 4-0 (or 6-0 with playoffs) is pretty solid.
Yards do not always equate to points. Rivers passed for 503 yards and no interceptions and they only scored 20 points against GB.
One of the Panther TD's was an interception run back. Two other TD's went for 49 and 46 yards, so field position and turnovers doomed the Cardinals. 43% of the Panther points started in Arizona territory.
Honestly, if they beat up the Panthers' receivers, they should have a solid chance. Think what Seattle did to Denver's receivers a few years ago. I don't know if Denver's defense is that good or not, but I won't rule it out.
We're forgetting that Manning was about 6 inches away from a 3 TD performance. Sure he didn't throw many yards, but if he'd had to go to work in the 2nd half, he probably could have thrown 300. The bottom line is he's not making a bunch of mistakes that he typically makes in the playoffs, which is why he usually gets eliminated.
Hitting them hard at the line of scrimmage, when they catch passes, etc. What Seattle did to Denver in 2013. What Baltimore did to New England in 2012.
