I have a feeling it's going to be more: Peyton Manning, Peyton manning, Peyton Manning, and then Peyton Manning86spike said:The narrative will be "#1 Offense Meets #1 Defense"

Dan to Theo to Ben said:Will be interesting to see if the Hawks deviate from ET playing a single deep safety and have him closer to THE LOS in order to help neutralize Julius Thomas. Seahawks are one of the few teams with enough secondary depth (and skill) to not be burned by the Broncos' receivers.
Not to be cliche, but turnovers will be key. High turnover game favors Seattle, low turnover game favors Denver IMHO. I don't see Knighton repeating his performance against Beast Mode though. Tough one to predict.
Bad weather also favors Seattle IMHO.

True, but Seattle hasn't faced an offense remotely as good as Denvers. Denver manhandled the Patriots today on both sides of the ball, pressured Brady on defense, Manning wasn't touched on offense and he torched them.
Goes without saying that unless Seattle can put pressure on Manning and also force some turnovers, I don't see Russell Wilson and the Seattle offense being able to keep pace with Denvers.
Either it's Manning/Welker or Carroll/Sherman who end up with a ring, which is a huge shit sandwich no matter what the final outcome is.
And as far as the poll, the "I could give shit less" option was left out of both questions.
Rudy Pemberton said:Huh? Why so much hate for Wilson? He's a much better Qb than Grossman or humphries. He's overshadowed by his defense but he's had two pretty damn good and nearly identical seasons as a QB.

Think Talib will send flowers?Judge Mental13 said:Wes Welker might actually die in this game.

If he hadnt dropped a routine pass he'd have a ring already. And he injured Talib on a dirty hit yesterday. He can fuck right off.Stitch01 said:Welker getting a ring is a positive for me. He was a good player here for a long time

Hmmm, it's possible Welker did some improvisation himself.drleather2001 said:I would bet $20 that Fox instructed Welker in particular, or the receivers in general, to rough up Talib.
I have zero problem with that hit other than it should have been offensive PI. Will still be very happy for Welker if he gets a ring. I hope he performs well in the Super Bowl. Pats have had way too much success for me to be bitter about good players going elsewhere and succeeding.DrewDawg said:
I don't know. That hit on Talib yesterday doesn't help his cause with me.
Remagellan said:People will try to make this story of Peyton's magical season, but the real story of this season was the emergence of the NFC West was far and away the best division in football. The worst team in the Seahawks' division went 6-4 outside the NFC West and destroyed two playoff teams in the second part of the season. Unless the Seahawks get a worse whistle than they got the last time they made the Super Bowl, they are going to shatter the Broncos. Even if both teams play as well as they're capable of playing, I still see this having the makings of one of those 80's era NFC blowouts in which the high-scoring AFC team can't handle the physicality of the NFC power.
