It really has little to do with Peyton Manning. He is a statue. It is his protection that has to be flawless. Those are the boys that will win it or lose it for Denver.
He is 15 years of finesse and experience. He's had good and bad O-lines, good and bad running backs, good and bad receivers, and good and bad defenses.
He may be a statue, but if his protection is flawless, then it's because that statue was also flawless. I'm going to watch the game Sunday as if it's the best game I'll ever see. Because it might be the last time Peyton Manning makes it to the superbowl.
That's right 15-16 years. One ring. He won't get another one unless his O-Line plays better than they ever have in THEIR experience. All it takes is one guy getting through and Manning is toast. One good pop and he won't be able to function 100%. His brother has more rings than Peyton and the Hawks got to Eli early and the result was 5 interceptions and a shutout. That is just facts ...no brag. No hype...no bravado...just the way it went the last time the Hawks were in Metlife this season. It amazes me how little respect the average fan has for the potential for the total domination the Hawks defense presents.
the other thing that amazes me is about the people picking the donkesy to win is how the last time Manning faced a defense anything similiar to what the Hawks D is like was the AFC divisonal round game against the ravens in denver last year which if I remember correctly,they lost didnt they?lol
Had that game been played on a neautral field,the Ravens would have blown the donkeys out in that game.The Ravens offense was playing with hangcuffs on that day just as all teams that face the donkeys have to when they play them in denver having to deal withat that crazy noisy crowd that the ravens could not audible at the line of scrimmage and the players could not hear the snap count and then of course that thin mile high air they are not used to.
The Ravens had those handicaps they had to deal with in that game,you have that game played on a a neautral field where there is no home field advantage,the Ravens blow that game out wide upen.
they cant use this years Ravens team and defense either to talk about beating in the year as a comparison since this ravens team was a completely totally different team than last years with 11 new starters on both sides of the ball with key players that provided leadership gone this year.
