[Count Steeler]

How bad will it look if Manning gets shut out? Unlikely, but it is proving out once again that defense wins championships.

Peyton is great, but he's a front runner. Can't rally a team against a great defense.

[Count Steeler]

Broncos have to show something here.

[zulater]

The idiots will kill him. But anyione with a brain can see if you switched qb's the result would still be an easy Seahawk win.

[Edman]

15-0 Seattle.

Unless things change, this will probably be the first Super Bowl in a long time where it was over before it even begins.

[zulater]

I hope Edman and all of Ben's other critics take note of this game. If you're outmanned in 8 out of 11 positions you're gonna lose no matter who you're qb is.

Early in the season with Mike Adams at tackle, Paulson at tight end, Redman at tailback etc...you just weren't going to win. Qb tries to do too much, and turns the ball over.

[Godfather]

I can jump higher than that.

[Polamalu Princess]

Wow - that is all I can say. This will be hard for Denver.

[Godfather]

This game is getting uglier than the cast of the View.

[Polamalu Princess]

Denver is having a terrible night.

[steelreserve]

Wow, what a terrible game. As much as I can't stand Seattle or their idiot fans, at least this cements Manning's reputation as one of the biggest chokers of all time.

You know who else could really choke with style? Brett Favre.

[Godfather]

This should get overturned. Not that it will do much good...not even Peyton is going to come back from 22-0.

[ALLD]

And that Peyton is a choke artist while younger brother beat the Pats twice.

No this proves teams win games. You really think if you switched qb's this game that the Broncos would be winning? :frusty:

[Steelerette]

Pretty bad non-call. I don't have a rooting interest in this game but if the Broncos have a decent second half but the Seahawks win by 1 - 6 points, I hope Hawks fans have to hear for 10 years about how the refs handed them the game.

[steelreserve]

No this proves teams win games. You really think if you switched qb's this game that the Broncos would be winning? :frusty:


Who knows. If you put Manning on Seattle and all he did was throw 3-yard dumpoffs all night, they probably would still be stuck on 2 points. It's been a piss-poor game plan with piss-poor execution.

[stillers4me]

Broncos listed as questionable for return in the second half.

Field goal nothing; I'm wondering why in hell you wouldn't just go for it there. If you want to have any chance in hell of actually making a game out of it, that is. What a pathetic Super Bowl. I'd hoped that at least for the last football game of the year, it would've been halfway exciting.

[dislocatedday]

A total team failure by everyone on Denver except for their defense, which has actually played very well. The Broncos look paralyzed and in fear out there. Denver's coaching, special teams, and offensive gameplan and execution have been putrid. I'm not going to slam Manning too much because I don't think he has had much of a chance, but even he looks unsure of himself out there and has "happy feet" in the pocket.

[ALLD]

Manning has two INTs. I would not blame him completely for the loss, but he isn't doing anything to help his team win.

[stillers4me]

Unbelievable.

[Texasteel]

Looks like Denver has gone into the, lets just not get skunked mode.

[Texasteel]

Never mind. Looks like they are trying to get skunked.

[steelreserve]

This has to be a serious contender for worst Super Bowl ever. I can't think of one that even comes close. This one game may be worse than all 16 seasons of the BCS combined.

[ALLD]

It is embarrassing. Talk about it couldn't get any worse, and then it does. Just when they make a few yards, Lucy yanks the ball away again! If I was a Denver fan at the game, I would ask John Fox for a ticket refund.

[st33lersguy]

Offense may win 13 or 14 games, offense may win home-field advantage, offense may win a conference championship, but defense still wins Superbowls. I can't imagine how anyone can ask for the Steelers to go offense in the first round after the Seahawks just re-affirmed that defenses, even in this day and age, still wins Super Bowls

[Polamalu Princess]

Unreal.

[st33lersguy]

Another thing, this offense and season by Peyton Manning is overrated. Riding the dink and dunk to the Super Bowl and getting fortunate they didn't play a phyisical enough defense to tackle these guys.

I can't believe the refs called an offensive holding penalty on Denver. Why bother?

John Fox can borrow some of John MacKay's quotes for the post-game interview.
We didn't tackle well today but we made up for it by not blocking."
“I’ll probably take a little time off and go hide somewhere. We will be back. Maybe not this century, but we will be back and we will be a better football team.”
On the Buccaneers poor special-teams play, “They were absolutely horrible and that’s the best thing I can say. Besides that they were bad. These people are not poorly paid you know.”
On how badly the Bucs looked in losing to the Steelers 42-0, “There were times I felt like leaving the stadium and hitchhiking home.”

This game was essentially lost on the first play from scrimmage. It all snowballed from the safety.

At least it's better than watching the Ravens win.

All the Peyton Manning Kool-Aid drinkers are watching him damage his rep. He went from "Greatest QB of all time" to one of the best despite him losing two SBs.

Sent from a Galaxy Note 2

[Steelerette]

I don't think Peyton is really to blame here... their O-line was awful, and their defense didn't even show up. At least one of Peyton's INT, his arm was hit while he was throwing... then Thomas dropping a football... every break that could have, went the Seahawks' way -- and I'm not talking about the refs. They just had the luck and the mojo today. I don't think Joe Montana, or any QB could have won that game in Peyton's position.

I'm a little shocked at just how wide the gap was but I'm not shocked that a team with a decent QB, a bigtime pass rush, and a defense that will punch you in the mouth... beat a team built around a high flying offense.

Russell Wilson is better than Flacco and he's going to start getting due credit probably after this game, but, this just proves to me that I want to emphasize the trenches, and penetrating defense, over other considerations. How about that Cliff Avril today! Apples and oranges (sort of), but give me Nix in the draft :D

[Polamalu Princess]

The End.

Congratulations to the Seattle Seahawks organization. The fans can still kiss my ass, and are undeserving of any championship.

"Game manager" was OK when they used it to describe Ben.

"Was?" A lot of them still do...

[Edman]

The Broncos have Five Super Bowl Losses. An NFL Record. All of them blowouts.

So where is the Ugg-wearing Golden Boy? He's lost just as many postseason games as Jim Kelly and just as many SBs as Manning. And at least Manning didn't lose to 4th and 5th seeds from the NFC.

[zulater]

see I can not say that " for me " sure it may not compare in terms of the "embarrassment factor " but it far exceeds in the "heartbreak department" so depends what is worse per individual I guess ... heartbreak or embarrassment ...I get over being embarrassed a lot quicker than being heartbroken


Not me. Getting spanked like that invalidates your whole season in my opinion. I'd rather go out on my shield so to speak. Lose with honor, and even if you're frustrated at the end you showed you belong.

[Edman]

That's exactly what I said to my brother.
Can you imagine being a Broncos fan and having to sit through that tonight??

A loss like this is haunting.

In a way, I feel bad for Bronco fans for waiting all week in anticipation and you get THIS. The game was over from the first snap of the game, and it was never competitive. That's absolutely horrible.

I don't care if you make the Super Bowl. If you have your team THAT Ill-prepared and put up a stinker LIKE THAT, that should cost a job of some kind.

Super Bowl 48 is without a doubt the absolute WORST Super Bowl I have witnessed in my life. I actually shut off the game at one point.

The 2013 Broncos should go in the same bed of the 1983 Redskins. A Passing Mention and nothing more.

No one will care how many points they put up. What everyone is going to remember is the debacle that ended their season. Even the 2007 Patriots were close against the Giants even though they lost.

This game was ALL OVER from THE FIRST SNAP OF THE GAME. You can't excuse that.

John Fox is a terrible coach and deserves to be fired.

[Texasteel]

not sure what is worse being whipped , or heartbroken like our last SB game , where we are headed in for the go ahead TD and Mendy coughs up the ball and we get beaten

both suck no doubt but I am still not over that game totally ( esp since my brother in law is a die hard Packer fan and always brings up watching that SB DvD he has when we go to visit )

I feel your pain buddy,,,, remember,,,,,, I am sleeping with the enemy tonight.

[fansince'76]

Keep dreaming. Seahawks buddy of mine says this should be their second Lombardi trophy. Just can't accept they got beat

Exactly. If anyone thinks this is going to stop the incessant whining, crying and bitching of those blubbering emo manginas, they need to think again (http://www.seahawks.net/viewtopic.php?p=1254609#p1254609).

[steelreserve]

In order to have 12 postseason losses, you have to make it to the postseason 12 times.

It's hard to have more postseason losses than wins when you have that many. You can only get one postseason loss per season, but you can win up to 4. And Manning's been to three Super Bowls, won one. That means a LOT of one-and-dones.

Holy crap. I was so drunk by the end of halftime of that game that I completely forgot about that. Literally had no recollection of it until now. I never went back and re-watched the game or looked at the highlights or anything. I remembered making a comeback, and then vaguely recalled something happening that pissed me off to where I was about to start breaking bottles, and then we had a final drive that went nowhere. That must have been the missing piece.

Wilson is from Richmond, VA, and he represented the state very well.

Their whiny fanbase and their previous coach, Walrus 1.0, are a different story.

I also prefer the new Pete Carroll over Jim Harbaugh as SB winner. Can you imagine the attitude if the brothers won back-to-back?

[BnG_Hevn]

I think if the Seahawks can hold things together that they CAN be a dynasty. No reason why not, if they have an elite defense, good special teams and a capable offense / running game. Isn't that pretty much the same formula the Steelers used in the 70s?

Manning is the reason why I think QBs like Joe Montana are the best in the game. Manning is good "when everything is working perfectly", but because he depends so much on timing etc, once you throw him off his game, he is done. Same thing the Steelers did to him in '05.

Seahawks deserve this win. I'm just glad they did it with defense, which goes to show you that "offense wins game, defense wins championships".

Pete Carroll the 9-11 truther, over Jim Harbaugh, the guy who spends his vacation every year doing missionary work in a 3rd world nation? No thanks. Carroll might be a good coach but he's a piece of shit in my book.

The sit-down between Chiarelli and Carroll started off normally enough. They talked about the team, and then about head trauma. Chiarelli, who commanded the American forces in Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom II, talked about the brain injuries he had seen there. But Chiarelli’s mention of Iraq sent Carroll in another direction: He wanted to know if the September 11 attacks had been planned or faked by the United States government.

In particular, Carroll wanted to know whether the attack on the Pentagon had really happened. Chiarelli—who was the top-ranking Army official inside the Pentagon when American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into its western side—explained that it had. He said he had lost many colleagues. But Carroll didn’t stop there. He ran through the whole 9/11 truther litany.

“Every 9/11 conspiracy theory you can think of, Pete asked about,” said Riki Ellison, the former NFL linebacker who now runs the Missile Defense Advocacy Alliance and introduced Carroll to Chiarelli.

So did the discussion last year turn hostile? A source close to Chiarelli, one who wasn't present when he spoke to Carroll, told us that it did. He said the general had to leave the room because Carroll had rankled him so thoroughly. Ellison told us that that wasn't true, that the discussion had remained friendly and "fun" throughout. A spokesman for Chiarelli at his foundation, One Mind for Research, did not respond to repeated phone and email requests.

THE HERO of whom Jim Harbaugh speaks this afternoon is not a coach nor a general nor a statesman. It is not Winston Churchill, whose framed picture hangs behind his desk, or the San Francisco Batkid, the subject of his props earlier in the week. Harbaugh is talking about Father Joseph Uhen, a rangy and relentlessly upbeat Notre Dame graduate who has spent the last 20 years as pastor of the parish of Santisimo Sacramento in the northern Peruvian city of Piura. There, in outlying villages without sewers or running water, Uhen has built 28 chapels, and he ministers to some 40,000 faithful.

"He's an amazing, holy person," says Harbaugh, a devout Catholic who for the last five years has traveled to Piura in the off-season. Harbaugh typically spends a week (a veritable sabbatical by NFL coach standards) doing the mission's work—delivering food to the needy, helping out at an orphanage or building bamboo houses.

Padre José, as Uhen is known by his flock, has seen Harbaugh literally give villagers the shirt (and hoodie) off his back. He has a picture of the coach walking out of a prison in his stocking feet; Harbaugh had befriended an inmate and given the man his shoes. Uhen recalls delivering food to a house where another old man lay on the dirt floor, near death. Harbaugh gently picked him up and carried him to a car. The man's name was Maximo. They took Maximo to a hospice, where he died. A year later.

Harbaugh and Padre José were once working in a field with an agricultural expert, a Peruvian who, like Uhen, had spent time at Notre Dame and was vocal about his allegiance to the Irish. After a while the fellow asked Harbaugh if he, too, were a Notre Dame fan.

"Actually," replied Harbaugh, who as Michigan's starting quarterback in the mid-'80s went 2--0 against the Irish, "I'm in the Notre- Dame-ass-kicking business."

Every year Harbaugh is startled anew by the abject poverty in Piura. Every year he is inspired anew—"transformed," he says—by the joy and generosity of the locals, in the face of that poverty. "Something I learned down there," he says. "They believe it's a sin to give in to discouragement, to give up hope."


I do like Russell Wilson though. But not enough to offset that douchebag of a coach they got.
I'm officially adopting the 49'ers as my NFC team next year. Hopefully they can knock the Seahags off their fucking perch.

There are millions of reasons why not. Right now they are getting an unbelievable bargain on several guys on their rookie contracts, including 3/4 of their secondary, and that's about to come to an end. Sherman, Thomas and Maxwell will all be wanting to get ♬♬ PAAAIIIIIYED ♬♬ - not to mention Wilson in a couple years, so that right there is half a salary cap. They've got a couple smaller pieces like Golden Tate and their best pass rusher whose deals are also up. Lynch and Harvin are already filling two of the huge-contract slots, so something's gotta give. Maybe not next year, but definitely in two seasons. Most likely scenario is, as soon as Wilson gets paid market value, there goes the defense, unless they draft incredibly well.



Manning is the reason why I think QBs like Joe Montana are the best in the game. Manning is good "when everything is working perfectly", but because he depends so much on timing etc, once you throw him off his game, he is done. Same thing the Steelers did to him in '05.

That's a good point. You heard people saying things last night like, "Even Joe Montana couldn't have scored on this defense," which IMO is a bunch of bull. That guy routinely went up against defenses like the '85 Bears (which was the same guys for a few years on either side) and the '80s Giants, and shredded them as often as not, including playoffs.

You have to be able to beat that level of competition if you want to win the Super Bowl, and Manning usually isn't. There's a proven formula for shutting him down if you have the talent on defense to do so. Unfortunately, besides the pressure, it involves having at least three really good DBs who tackle well, so that the 3-yard dink-and-dunks don't become 12- and 18-yard catch-and-runs. Most teams aren't able to field a defense like that today because good DBs are too expensive. But get to the payoffs, and sooner or later you run into some team that's close enough, which explains his miserable postseason record. Although it's not immediately obvious, Manning may have benefited more from the salary cap than any player in NFL history.

One other thing I started to hear more and more of as the week went on: people comparing Seattle to the '85 Bears. Please - stopjuststop. I am old enough to remember the '85 Bears, and it is not even close. This may be the nearest approximation of the '85 Bears that you could put together today, but suggesting that it is even remotely the same thing only proves that you are either way too overzealous now, or have a terrible memory.

OK, now it's bolded. The point is still the same.

[smokin3000gt]

If they can keep it together is the key sentence. The problem is after a superbowl the team very rarely holds it together. If Pittsburgh held their team together, and players didn't age ever, we would be dynasty year in and year out but that just doesn't happen.

I just think it's a little premature to even speak of a dynasty after the franchises first ever SB. Let's see how they do next year first.

Flavor of the week. Let's forget that Kaepernick was one bad throw away from beating them two weeks ago in their own back yard, and he ain't nowhere near being an elite QB.

I also remember more than a few predicting a new Packers "dynasty" after they beat us 3 years ago, and, well, we all see what happened there...

We heard the same thing about Green Bay after Super Bowl XLV and Rodger's incredible postseason stretch.

Seattle will be competitive, but dynasty? No. The NFC is much too strong to let that happen.

Dynasties occur when there is 1-3 good teams in a conference, then mediocrity everywhere else. The 70's Steelers only had to overcome the Raiders, Oilers, and maybe the Dolphins. The 80's Niners had the Redskins and Giants. The 90's Cowboys only had the 49ers as real competition, and the 00's Patriots only had the Colts and Steelers.

Considering all of the competitive teams in the NFC right now, proclaiming a Seattle Dynasty especially after division rival San Francisco gave them a hard time is premature.

Considering all of the competitive teams in the NFC right now, proclaiming a Seattle Dynasty especially after division rival San Francisco gave them a hard time is premature.

I don't think that's true at all. First of all, it's going to be rare for more than 3 or 4 teams in a conference to be super-good anyway, just because there are only so many franchises around. You're not going to have a third of the conference go 12-4 on a regular basis, I don't care what anyone says.

Second, if you're going to consider the 49ers a dynasty, you have to remember that more than half the time, they didn't even make the Super Bowl at all. I'd argue there were five or six good teams in the conference then; you left off the Bears, Rams and Vikings. That shows it's possible to do with a lot of other good teams around, but that's also why it took the 49ers more than a decade.

These days, it seems like the standard M.O. for having a "dynasty" is to win three championships in a very short amount of time, like 4 or 5 years, which is all you get before you can't keep the team together anymore because of money. You also have to be very lucky, both with injuries and getting breaks on the field. Seattle probably has two more years in which it will be good enough to keep contending, maybe three, and then either they'll lose the core of their defense, or they'll have major holes elsewhere because of the big contracts they had to give out. The Wilson contract will be the beginning of the trip to Tier 2 for the Seahawks, just like the Kaepernick contract will probably be the start of the trip to Tier 2 for the 49ers. At any rate, it's possible they could win another one, but to win two of the next three - that would take an amount of luck that is rarely seen.

85 Bears had more sacks and 76 Steelers more shut outs, but the Seahawks DBs are really, really good. Hopefully we will not ever hear again about Manning being the best QB ever. It was making me nauseous only eclipsed by brady ball washing.

Funny thing is, most real Seattle fans could tell you every QB in their history. It's really not that difficult when you think about it. Zorn, Kreig, Warren Moon, Rick Mirer, Kitna, Hasselbeck, and Wallace. Then, there were 2nd stringers like Stan Gelbaugh, Kelly Stouffer, Dan McGwire, and Seneca Wallace that filled in for a few games (had to go back and check on the second stringers).

Growing up in the Northwest, I've seen firsthand how strong the Seahawk fans supported their team. 85 consecutive sell outs since 2003. Heck, the first-ever probowl sellout happened in Seattle in 1977. As for the whole 12th man thing, it's nothing new in Seattle. In fact, the jersey number 12 is retired in Seattle due to the "12th man." That happened in 1984, and the 1989 rule change was pretty much directed straight at Seattle fans.

They're whiners concerning SB 40, no doubt about it. But one thing they're not, is Johnny-Come-Lately's to this team.

Jesus Christ, the 12th man bullshit. They can't even get their own traditions; they have to rip them off from someone else. It was a WELL-KNOWN thing in college football from Texas A&M, like 50 years before the Seahawks were even a thing. Seattle has to pay licensing fees to Texas A&M in order to use it in their own stadium. I couldn't participate in something like that without feeling a complete tool. But Seahawks fans go around acting like they invented it, and I bet if you asked a random sampling of them, like 90% of them probably actually believe they did, which is sad.

I really have no particular attachment to Texas A&M, by the way, but I did think this shirt they put out a few days ago was pretty funny:

Id rather have lost like that than the absolute manhandling the Broncos got. We dug ourselves into a big hole early in the game. We werent favored either to begin with, and we were a couple of plays of derailing what was an unstoppable Aaron Rodgers and Packers squad. I have gotten over the loss, because if you look how our teams have performed lately, it leaves a relief in my mind that there are others who would kill to just get into the big game.

Next they'll start toilet papering the trees outside the stadium, plant hedges on the sidelines, and wear houndstooth hats.
