Broncos vs Seahawks Super Bowl

[Meister]

Peyton deserves another SB to cement his legacy as the best QB not name Joe Montana.

Denver 35
Seahawks 24

Peyton doesn't have to cement any legacy, he has his and should be very proud of it.

It will be interesting to see how many times Manning challenges Sherman in this game.

If Seattle gets their usual 2 picks a game that will skew the number of possessions and possibly the outcome of the Superbowl.

Manning usually passes 30-40 times a game. That is because he gets more chances to run drives than his opposing teams.

I think Manning will get no more than 25 passes off .. maybe 12 completions .. 2 ints

Peyton will be tested like he never has in his career to make completions in this game.

The main reason I see it like this is that Seattle will run Marshawn Lynch when they get the two extra possessions and chew up the clock. Denver just will not have the time Manning needs to put up big numbers. He might get over 200 yards but maybe only two TDs on 12 completions. Seattle just flat doesn't get scored on much with their secondary sucking the oxygen out of opponents pass game.

Another thing is that the Denver run Defense isn't as good as SF's so I don't see how they can stop Lynch. Denvers run game is not as good as Seattle and their top running back is questionable to get in the game from his injury.

I don't think Seattle's pre season 40-10 win is meaningful but a Seattle blow out makes more sense to me than vice versa.

I pick Seattle to win, but if Denver wins, Manning will be the first QB to have won the SB with two different teams, which will silence all this BS about his not being one of the greats, a la Dan Marino. Manning's a fantastic QB.

However, a large chunk of Bronco fans are total morons, given their messianic worship of Tim Tebow as a legitimate NFL QB, and I'm not one in favor of rewarding morons.

This will be a great game. One of the passing offenses of all time versus the best passing defense in the NFL.

Denver opens as a 2.5 point favourite. I predict Seattle will win 23-20.

Actually, last night Seattle opened as a 2.5 pt. favorite at Station Casinos', a 2 pt. favorite at the Las Vegas Hotel (formerly the Hilton) but the consensus settled favoring Denver by 1.5 pt.s'. The South Point Casino opened with a 'pick-em line but a 25K wager came in on the Broncos that moved their line to Denver -1.
So, initially, the oddsmakers slightly favored Seattle at the open (interesting enough) but the favorite flipped as the bettors poured money in on Denver.

 

[G.T.]

Seattle's defense has some obvious flaws. They let Kaep run for a shit ton of yards tonight, and if he didnt throw a 20yard pass with that full minute and plenty of timeouts left on first down? San Fran likely would have won tonight.

Are you expecting Manning to run? LOL -31 yards for the entire 2013 season.

I think the highly touted Gore only got 14 yards on 11 attempts on Sunday. So expect Seattle to shut down Denver run game and set up Seattle defensive backs to put a dent in Manning passing game. Manning will get his completions but any play action will not work against Seattle.
Denver top runner Moreno is hurt...whether he plays in the SB remains to be seen.

Umm, no.

This is where I saw it. It had Denver -2.5, o/u 47.5.

True, but there a lot of haters point to his mediocre playoff record and the fact he only has one SB. Hopefully this year he can silence that crowd.

It will come down to the weather in NY. If it is snowing, raining or ten below, it favors the Seahags. If the weather is decent, the Mules have the edge.

Right now, I think Denver has a seven point edge. There is not one player on the Seattle squad with SB experience.

It should be a great game if the weather cooperates, I'm not for a snowy Super Bowl, I want a game where the teams match up well and the weather is a non-factor, just straight up football.

I agree 100%. I want Manning to have every chance to throw the ball within the flow of the game. Obviously he will put up more yards than Wilson in a fair fight. It's TDs that counts. If the game features both teams strengths then Seattle will absorb a certain amount of yardage damage as they seek out opportunities to intercept the ball and force Manning to fumble or get balls tipped at the LOS. I compare Manning's passing somewhat to Kaepernick's running.

Seattle's keys... Accept that he will make several plays. Close fast on the receptions. Make sure tackles. Hit hard and fast to break up catches. Refuse to allow scoring in the red zone.

I doubt Denver has any running game enough for Seattle to be super concerned about but Denver certainly has to be worried about Marshawn Lynch. You all saw what Beast Mode did to one of the best run defenses in the NFL yesterday. Denver isn't SF so expect Lynch to rip the Bronco's a new A-hole up the middle and at the corners.

I wouldn't say Seattle has to make Denver one dimensional because they are that by design. Denver lives and dies by the pass. What Seattle does on Defense defending the pass is every bit as important to winning as any aspect of our offense.

Most team's defenses fear Peyton Mannings air assault. I have no doubt that the Legion of Boom is even now licking their chops at the prospect of feeding off of Manning tosses.

#83 is a friggin midget. He will not be able to absorb the punnishment of Seattle's pass defense. He will make a couple of catches and then as Seattle gets dialed in to his style he will learn what Kam Chancellor is all about. The "enforcer" of the LOB will rock his world early and often.

#87 is used to getting his way because he is a bit bigger. Unfortunately he isn't bigger than Chancellor or Sherman. He isn't faster than Chancellor or Sherman. Decker will make a couple of catches in the first qtr and feel shock and pain for the effort.

Manning will not have it any better than his recievers. Kaepernick had one int and no fumbles in his previous five games to yesterday. Seattle's pass rush is horribly under rated as the 9ers discovered. They make a feast of getting to the qb and stripping the ball for fumble recoveries. Denver has a great O-line. This will be what decides the game IMHO. If Denver can protect Manning the Broncos have a slim chance. If they fail Denver will suffer an embarrassing loss.

I want good weather. I want Manning to believe he can pass the ball.

I'm not getting into game plans until next week, this week is to enjoy both teams getting to the Super Bowl, for me anyway. I'm along for the ride and have no dog in the fight. So I don't really care which team wins.

Your girlfriend luissa thinks I'm a Bronco fan!

I'm loving the idea of being a football fan.

It should be a great game if the weather cooperates, I'm not for a snowy Super Bowl, I want a game where the teams match up well and the weather is a non-factor, just straight up football.

I'm for a snowy Super Bowl. It could be a once-in-a-lifetime happening.

That wouldn't be fair. It would only benefit the Hawks. Denver's defense won't be able to stop Lynch on a dry field. On a snowy field they wouldn't stand a chance. Manning has a horrible history on the road in cold, wet or snowy conditions.

Face it... Manning's legacy won't gain a single yard against Seattle. He will have to show up just like every other player on the field.

The more the media puts Peyton on a pedistal before the game the more the Seahawk defense will want to knock him off of it come game time.

I'm rooting for Denver. And a snowy SB goes against the better passing team (Denver). But I still want to see a snowy SB. Again, it could be a once-in-a-lifetime thing; so why not?

WTF ???? You wanna "Postcard white christmassy fantasy dream" football game ??

What the hell are you thinking? The players don't want to play in the freezing cold. The rich people that can afford to go to the super bowl don't want to sit for 3-4 hours in the freezing cold with no cover. They don't want to drive to the game on dangerous icy roads. They don't wanna pay $10 for a hot cup of coffee.

I think you are nuts !!!

Boy I'm not..snow for this Super Bowl could blow it for future Super Bowls above the Mason Dixon line. I want to see a Super Bowl in Seattle someday.

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

I dont think bad weather favors either team. I hope for clear skies and a great game. Why they wouldn't keep the game under a dome is beyond me.

There won't be more cold weather Super Bowls for a long time anyhow. This is a gimmick imo. And again, once-in-a-lifetime Snow Bowl -- I'll take it. I don't care if that means more SB's in Miami and SD.

 

[HUGGY]

I would like an explaination on what that thing on Manning's forehead is.
