...including this fan.
First off, let me be clear: I'm not blaming Carolina's Super Bowl loss on the officiating. Denver played a superior game defensively, although an inferior one offensively, setting records for offensive futility by a Super Bowl winner - even worse than the Trent Dilfer-led offensive juggernaut that was the 2000 Baltimore Ravens.
The Panthers' offense did as much to beat themselves as the Denver defense did, but the Denver defense was opportunistic...and with some "official" help.
