My Overall Record: 168-98
Great offense versus great defense.
The storylines of Peyton and his offense against Richard Sherman and the Seattle defense have dominated so much of the conversation that the Seattle offense and Denver defense have become afterthoughts.
The Seattle defense is just as good as they’re advertised. This is one of the only defenses in the league that can be counted on to shut down an opposing lineup, and make no mistake they are the primary reason why the Seahawks have come this far. They haven’t just beat up on poor teams like the New York Giants, they’ve dominated the likes of Drew Brees and the high powered New Orleans offense, and stood tall to secure the win against the 49ers two weeks ago in the final seconds of the game. If anyone can stop an offense as strong as Denver’s, its this group.
The Seahawks are such a complete defense, and they excel in everything from run to defense, to pass coverage, to pass rushing.
How will Russell Wilson perform in tonight’s game? Wilson doesn’t always put up great numbers, but throughout his brief career he always seems to have a knack for pulling out victory in tough situations. Marshawn Lynch is the true heart and soul of the Seattle offense, and he could be primed for another big game against a suspect Denver run defense.
I want to see Seattle win a low-scoring game, and remind the league that defense still wins championships, and show that its still possible to assemble an elite defense even in this modern era where the league caters as many rules and regulations as possible to the offense.
But my gut tells me that this is Peyton Manning’s moment. This is his time to cement his legacy as one of the all-time greats, and to become the first quarterback in NFL history to win a title as the starter for multiple franchises.
No quarterback in the game works harder preparing for an opponent than Manning. You can bet he’s analyzed the Seattle defense as much he possibly could, and given two weeks of preparation, I believe that he and his weapons will put together an impressive performance that just might be enough to send Manning out on top.
Pick: Denver 27, Seattle 23
Broncos 27 – Seahawks 19
MVP Peyton Manning though an argument
Could be made for WR Wes Welker who has big game
Broncos 27 – Seahawks 19
MVP Peyton Manning though an argument
Could be made for WR Wes Welker who ends up having a as big game
Seahawks 30
Broncos 23
Seattle corners get away with murder – holding, grabbing, clutching —
No body in NFL is allowed to hold Peyton Manning’s wide receivers —
I’m interested to see which NFL favoritism style is called because each relies so much on their style which contradicts the others
16-13 Seahawks in a boring ass shit Super Bowl nobody will remember
if Manning loses he is going to get picked like 3 to 4 times, so I think no matter who wins, points will be put on board. Denver is too aggressive for only 29 total points.
Denver has 0% chance at putting up 29 today
Coach of the year – Rivera
MVP – Manning
D MVP – Kuechly
Rookie – Lacy
D Rookie – Richardson
Remember when Songs bashed Kuechly all before the draft saying he was a bum and would get run over in this league?
Yes I recall, there were a few on here
Including GMCliff that Kuechly was overrated and not all that.. But GMCliff has admitted since then quite a few times, that he was wrong about Kuechly’s impact as a NFL Player..
Shout out to GMCliff who was on the DT Sheldon Richardson Train
All last off-Season leading up to the Draft and who is a perfect fit for Rex Ryan’s DL Scheme for the NY Jets.. Good Call Cliff
This is a very difficult game to handicap. I usually do well, with my only mistake in the last decade being Seattle/Pitt where I took Seattle….but that game was fixed.
So…what do we have tonight?
In Seattle’s favour:
A Seattle team that has the best D in the league (though those #s inflated because they only played one good QB all year – Brees – and that was at home), + massive steroid program + good running game + a million Denver injuries + a guaranteed Manning int at the worst possible time…..
All these things point to a Seattle victory.
Against that is arrayed:
Manning winning his 2nd SB, cementing himself as greatest QB ever (though I still think Montana) and then retiring on top and riding into the sunset + waaaaaayyyyyy to much Richard Sherman press this week (never bodes well) + Seattle is the “just happy to be there” team after all the celebrating last week.
Fuck if I know.
Brain says Seattle, but the better media story is Denver/Manning
Either way, Peyton Manning will be back next Season guiding the Bronco’s
He’s witching reach of breaking Farve’s all-time TD Pass Record
And closing in on All-Time Yards Passed as well
Manning will get the TD Pass Record in 2014 then set his sights
On Most Yards Passing in 2015 and maybe add another Super Bowl, then Retire
Seattle +2 is easy money.
Paulman Rumors for Super Bowl MVP’s
Goes to Bronco’s CB Dominque Rodgers-Cronartie
With 2 Int’s (1 for a TD) and OL Winston Justice
For a Fumble Recovery on a blocked FG and he ends up with a 65 YRd Rumble down the Field to Game
Shaky start so far
Bad snap on first play, poor decision by Bronco’s Returnman to run it out to begin with
Seahawks 2 Penalties, QB Wilson overthrows wide open TE
On their first Drive
Let’s settle down and see some good footba
Bronco’s Manning showing “Happy Feet” already on their 2nd Drive
told ya……Manning is playing like shit
**Blow Out Alert**
Let’s Go Hawks!! Been picking them the past few months and weeks and I admire there style of defense tremendously. The Eagles need to be paying close attention to this defense and copy everything they see..
Starts with Safety Play
See how the Hawks Secondary are just intimidating the Bronco’s Receivers
Eagles need to Draft Safety Calvin Pryor from Louisville who at 6-2″, 216lbs would be a nice start on the back end of the Defense
I agree, we need “killers” on the back end of the defense. We need enforcers. Its rare to see two hard hitting/great cover Pro bowl safeties on the same team. I cant recall seeing anything like this.. This defense is unreal to watch.. The broncos can barely move the ball..
Eagles go Clinton Ha Ha Dix or Calvin Pryor with the 22nd pick.
Ga Ha Dix, too Soft, another Nate Allen
Eagles need Pryor or even Buchannan over Dix..
Russel Wilson is amazing. Without him (for example if they had Foles) they’d be sunk.
yeah….if Wilson played like hot shit like Foles did the first half of the last few games, this game would be close enough for the Broncos to come back and win in the 4th.
But Wilson is at the helm.
does seattle even have a QB? what a great D… I could QB them and so could all of you
THONGSRME2…you’re funny.
Manning is a choke artist, way overrated bum
The great Peyton, Archie, elie, they suck, they are in the position they are because of. Privilege
What about the qb play paulman, manning stinks
I want the Eagles to play more man coverage. Forget all the zone nonsense.. The Seahawks have the personnel to do it, but I really like this style.. I think its tough too because we don’t have 2 pro bowl safeties, 1 probowl corner and a overall dominant defense. Our DLine needs to get more pressure without a blitz…
It seems to me that the secondary and DL for the Seahawks are always in a position to make a play on the ball. No matter where they are, they just swarm… This is the type of defense I love to watch.. Go hawks… Oma ha ha ha!
Man Coverage only works with a consistent & strong Pass Rush..
Give good NFL QB’s with time and they will pick man-coverage apart
You don’t have to get a lot of sacks per De, but you need to get in thecQB’s face, off their spot and make them throw before theyvwantvto
Seattle does this beautifully ..
Manning had 2 chances on big Plays and missed TE Thomas twice
With poor throws for he’s playing scared
Exactly, like I said, we need more pressure from the front 3 or 4 DLmen in order to play this style. We also need better corners and an entirely new safeties unit. Gut the whole safeties unit and start anew..
I’m so glad…Wilson is the new breed of QB….
out with the old and in with the new!
Couldn’t agree more Songs.. I like Foles but guys like Wilson and Kap will be in the conference championship and or SB every year off of great defenses and the ability to use their brain, arm and legs… #newbreedqb … its the truth..
yes, and besides the defense they can make a play when the defense play breaks down.
Fucking moron
This is why the whole mobile vs pocket QB argument that I’ve been a part of is just plain stupid. The halftime score is what it is because of the relentless nasty physical play of Seattle’s defense, QB has nothing to do with so yeah looks like a mobile QB will win a Super Bowl and all he basically had to do was snap his chin strap on.
ohhhhhhh, so when other great QB’s had great defenses it was about the QB.
Now it’s different …ok?
If Manning was the QB leading 22 nothing then everyone would be talking about his greatness.
gotcha…so if that’s the case it really doesn’t matter who plays the most important position in sports. right?
it doesn’t matter who plays qb going forward. right?
Your an idiot plain and simple. Big has it 100% it’s all defense #1 offense vs #Defense in the Super Bowl is winless. Tavares Jackson would be winning this game.
The score would be the same if Trent Dilfer was playing for the Seahawks…LOL. Bigs post is spot on. This game demonstrates the importance of a great defense…a team can win with an average QB performance and great defensive performance. I will let the whole debate go. No more needs to be said…as this game says it all!
Songs if Denver was winning 22-0 against Seattle’s defense damn straight we’d be talking about his greatness.
yeah you got em’ again Songs! The new NFL demands and requires mobility at QB! You are not going to beat great defenses with the sit in pocket, slow QB’s in the new NFL
Go Hawks!!! Wilson kick their ass and send Manning old as to retirement!
Good post big, but manning stinks
Songs did you read my posts you dumb mother fucker
Could you be any dumber
No he couldn’t jake.
With the play of this great safeties tandem playing the way they are, no wonder the corners for the Seahawks can play man coverage all over the field and not fear getting beat over the top. Doesn’t hurt to have 2 of the best cover corners in the league either..
I just think both Cary Williams and Bradley Fletcher are too slow and have to many matchup blunders, they get beat a lot even on 5-10 yard dig or comeback route, easy money for the other team. We need a little more size and speed at the corners position..
So, let’s get this right.
Manning a great QB was supposed to beat a great defense because he’s better than the rest.
Right?
Did Kap dobetter against the seattle defense?
If so….why?
Songs…seriously, you’re so hell bent at getting your point across to Vinnie and some others who roasted Vick…you post things that are not only false, but you try to convince others and yourself that we are not seeing what we are seeing as it pertains to the QB play of the QB’s you tout. That’s why you have little to no credibility. Everyone on here sees what you are doing. I don’t think you realize it though..or maybe you do. Maybe you are perspicacious. You’re definitely a FRAUD though. Hail to the Redskins, right fraudsongs the QB hopper!
Paste it!
answer the question….Why did Kap do better against the Seahawks defense?
It’s irrelevant…he still lost the game with 3 4th QRT turn overs. A masterful choke job.
We need to bring the cornerbacks coach of the seahawks to philly.. haa
Well we know that’s not gonna happen Jon. The eagles must come up with the winning formula that’s right for them…..ST TD. That might just wrap it up…Game.
Dominance just dominance..
yeah.
a regular pocket passer is needed to win a Super Bowl.
yeah
THEY GETTING BLOWED THE HELL OUT!!!!
The new era has begun.
HAWKS TAPPIN DAT ASS!
Eagles better draft well the next few years to compete with Seattle. lol
Why can’t Manning do what Kap did against this defense?
THE REAL SUPERBOWL WAS WEEKS AGO!
the best 2 teams with the best QB’s played in the NFC Championship.
It’s good to see the young Russell Wilson lead his team to a Super Bpwl.
Because manning is a choke artist spongs
What is so hard to understand
The day of the ‘pocket’ QB is over! To win in the NFL in the future you need a strong arm, mobile QB!!!
exactly.
Russel Wilson has a strong arm? LOL…seriously.
Looks like a fix to me.
Either that or the Broncos decided they just wouldn’t play today: In the Super Bowl?
The stench is overwhelming.
I agree.
The plays in which the defense tipped the ball and hit Manning’s arm leading to interceptions were planned.
I really don’t care who wins, as I don’t bet.
This game just has a stink about it.
It looks like Denver are handing the game to Seattle on a platter which makes me suspicious: I could be wrong.
Maybe in the biggest game of their lives, Denver were tired or unprepared.
Nick Foles, Shady, DJax and drafting a receiver means shit. Denver with by far the best offense in the NFL cant beat a dominate defense WTF do you think Foles and Shady would do. lmao. Seattles offense stinks and they are dominating because of there defense. The Eagles better stop worrying about the fucking offense and get a damn defense.
a defense with a QB who knows how to win with a strong arm and mobility would be grand.
They getting that ass tapped.
Byron Maxwell should be the MVP.
Stop it…Russell Wilson…a mobile, excellent QB has lead the team to a great win. He protects the football…makes smart decisions…got Seattle out of bad situations…converted 3rd downs…blew the game open!
Manning a sitting duck in the pocket..overwhelmed by an excellent defense.
Haha just love seeing that fraud manning getting blown out
And great for Wilson, he shows great talent
Whooooa ….did you see that perfect strike from Wilson just now…smh!!! ooohh…and now another perfect strike!!! Touchdown!!!!!!
Damn, the Eagles were going to draft Wilson too.
Hahaha @ Songs
I agree Wilson is great
lmfao this game has absolutely 0 to do with Russell Wilson. Seattle would be winning by 20+ if pee wee Herman was their quarterback
may be we should have pee wee herman QB our team.
our qb could be ru Paul and we would win if we had this d
don’t worry…..
Manning can bring em back.
NOT!!!!!!
ass getting tapped!
Seahawks outright EAsy money. PAID. god gambling is soooo easy.
And isn’t it great to see him beat that pussy manning, what a blow out, a blow out for the ages
Game was over at Halftime, the Kick-off Return sealed the Deal
Denver is a defeated Team and pkaying as such
So nothing matters in the game here on out..
The worst Super Bowl in the 10-15 years or so
throw em’ a bone…Seattle…let em’ score something…dont embarrass and humiliate Manning any more!!!
does Manning have a damn donut?
There’s your pocket passer right there with no mobility.
