Carolina's only decent offensive play is basically running Newton. Their receivers can't beat man coverage consistently and Stewart's banged up, he really doesn't look good.
Broncos need to figure out how to get Sanders into some seams instead of just hoping for him to beat players with his legs.
Broncos almost perfect on defense so far.
The first drive after half time will be key. If the Broncos bully them to a 3 and out, or stop a score they could well get in the Panthers heads. Peyton needs to throw a few good balls to settle himself too. He looks shot.
Coldplay singing a song for Broncos lineman Matt Paradis.
Bruno Mars might be the worst lip syncer ever.
Also, I'm always stunned at how small he is. He's basically a 13 year old boy.
I'm either out of sync on audio or absolutely everything so far has been lip synced.
They always lip sync the half time shows now, don't they? "Live" recorded and then mimed during the show.
The sound has been off all day though on the BBC, unless Mike Carlson was lip-syncing his own punditry earlier.
Yeah, I think one guitarist of a band said in an interview that he really hammed it up once in anger at it all.
The last bit of that was pretty great.
I was actually enjoying that much more than I expected when it was just Coldplay. The other stuff just killed it.
I seem to remember a great show put on by Bruno Mars a few years back too. In my mind he was singing live, though now I'm not so sure.
It was with the Red Hot Chilli Peppers and he wasn't. Kiedes was singing live though apparently.
I'm never trusting anyone again.

She actually mimed it.
So back to the game, the biggest issue for Denver isn't just that their offense is playing terribly but that Carolina's offensive issues a) are more likely to be worked out at some point, to some extent or another and b) Carolina will have a big play or two in them but Denver may not through the air unless somebody does something big after the catch.
Hopefully the running game will wear Carolina down and create some holes.
EDIT; There you go.
The NFL require instruments to be pre-recorded due to time constraints, with vocals they make you record them before but they've relaxed rules and you can sing live if you choose.
I believe Chris Martin was live (or in parts he was), Bruno and Beyonce weren't.
Here comes Ginn to rain on the Broncos parade.
Eugh, all these flags. Picked up but still destroys the tempo. I guess it doesn't matter as much on the FG this time though.
That could be a big miss.
Denver need to score after the missed FG, put the hurt on them.
Get in.
Even Gano's PAT was very nearly wide, what's he up to?
Supposedly Talib was offside on the Field Goal. God he's having a nightmare.
Panthers have no challenges left too. Could be crucial.
I fucking love Sanders.
EDIT:I thought somebody was bloody close to it and I said to my brother-in-law that it was Talib on the PAT so I thought he might be about to get flagged.
Broncos defense fantastic so far, but I'm not sure they can keep this up all game.
Thank fuck Trevethan was there.
Ward is a fucking moron, just stay on the ground.
Peyton hasn't had a pick 6 in a while...
It's great when the refs are really going for it in those scrums.
We know Manning's past it but the Broncos o-line simply has to give him more time. He's not helping himself either but Kubiak and Dennison need to do something here because they're at risk of throwing this away.
If they can hold on defense, run the ball every play. I wouldn't trust Manning for anything right now.
Now it's going to get nervy.
Not sure Denver can get anywhere on the ground, either.
Thomas...he looks slow, he's not just dropping the ball.
Can't see anyone but the Panthers from here.
I think Denver will hang on, but it's much closer than it should be.
It won't be Carolina if they keep running it for 0 yards on first down and taking 5 yard penalties on second.
The Broncos should throw some screens in there.
If the Broncos had even a mediocre passing game this would probably be done. I'm surprised they've not had a bash at an end around with Sanders or anything like that.
This is agony. Somebody asked the question of the BBC pundits about putting Osweiler in but that'd be a disgraceful thing to do. Even with a Super Bowl on the line he'd nearly have more to lose than gain.
I feel like I've been saying that all day. All this needs is one big drive from Manning and it's done. I just don't know if he has it in him.
Cooper is telling all the little kids there that he'd be doing a better job than Peyton right now.
Clearly given up any hope of doing something on offence.
So Peyton letting it all rest on the defense? Like I said this surely can't go on all game.
Not even pretending to try and get a first down now. This is genuinely infuriating. I trust the defense but if Denver win the offense won't be in a position to take any credit, some of the running plays and Sanders aside.
Von Miller is a fucking behemoth.
What a fucking player he is.
They're just *really* committed to establishing the play action.
Von Miller just wrapped up MVP.
I'll just shut the fuck up. Von Miller. Damn.
This fucking defense. Jesus.
Yea, Von Miller for MVP is a certainty. Well, him or Talib.
That kind of contact has been happening all game, so it's a bit of a tough call to ping them now.
Game.
Yes Broncos! Get in!
