Super Bowl XLVIII Denver vs Seattle

[GoIrish41]

This is a good old fashion trip to the woodshed. I would have never guessed that it would be 36-0 in the third quarter.

This has to be worse as a fan to watch. In the NTG Bama beat ND into the ground Denver tonight is beating themselves. They've allowed Seattle to get away with mediocre offensive play. If they could have avoided the turnovers and scored just a little bit it would but more pressure on Seattle's offense to deliver. Also they've screwed up on third down defense time and time again after Seattle was inept on 1st and 2nd down.

The real Super Bowl was played two weeks ago in Seattle.

As a coach that would cause me to loose mind freaking mind! Five people hit that guy and nobody tackled him. Players are supposed to wrap and club through the man when they tackle, that was ridiculous. I hate tackling in the NFL but that last TD was exceptionally horrific.

Glad to imagine the Peyton fans who betrayed the Colts are pretty miserable right now. LOL.

really thought this was gonna go down to the wire...seattle has the best defense i've ever seen.

They are good no doubt.

I'd say the 2000 Ravens were definitely better. After that I think you have to go all the way back to the 1985 Chicago Bears.

all i have is the stories for the 85 bears so i can't say for sure how good they were first hand, but i don't remember the ravens 2000 defense being this fast or such good tacklers.

85 Bears were amazing

 

[chicago51]

Darn It!!!

I had NFC 5 AFC 0 but I in the cheaper board I could have the buddy square as I'm next to NFC 6 AFC 0. It would have paid out $100.

Aikman is a complete moron. I can name a half dozen QBs, at least, who were "game manager" type QBs and made it to the Super Bowl. He's awful.

 

[Irish#1]

Seattle isn't this good and Denver isn't that bad. Seahawks were ready to play and Broncos weren't. Just the perfect storm tonight.

Was born in 87 but I've watched lots of film on the 85 Bears. They were the one defense that I know of where the other team was literally scared. Some times wimpy WRs will be afraid to go over the middle but rarely do professional athletes play like they are afraid of the other team. Other team may be more physical but that doesn't mean the opponents are afraid. The 85 Bears though literally scared the hell out of the other team.

 

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

Who is going to win MVP? Chancellor? Harvin?

 

[palinurus]

Yeah, Denver just looks ill prepared. Can't believe the OLine is as bad as they have looked.

super bowl was two weeks ago and we didn't even know it.

The 85 Bears strength was their front 7, and the Seahawks is their secondary. Hard to really compare the two, but both are certainly among the most dominant, and both certainly had the complete package across the board.

I believe he's just defending the quarterbacks. Even if you're not the star per se, you're still top 30 at what you do in the world. They're all still verrrrry good; you don't get to the super bowl without a very good quarterback in the grand view of the game.

 

[GoIrish41]

Ely Manning is going to maintain bragging rights for at least one more year. This is a sad, sad performance by Denver.

Seriously. Trent Dilfer anyone?

 

[IrishSteelhead]

Seriously. Trent Dilfer anyone?

And let's not even get into the opposite of "game manager" Super Bowl QBs like Rex Grossman.

 

[rtrn2glory]

Denver's OL coach is going to have a rough night of sleep

I knew it. That was a great game played extremely fast. Kapernick blew it down the stretch.

Sure, but I don't agree with his premise, that being a "game manager" is a slur; it's a type of QB who isn't a stat star, doesn't carry his team on his back, but doesn't turn it over a lot and can keep possession/keep drives moving. So, it's hard to view a guy like Trent Dilfer or Stan Humphries or Rex Grossman or Brad Johnson as much more than that. But Aikman's just wrong that game manager types don't get their teams to Super Bowls. Depending on whether you buy my definition, I bet you can reasonably argue that a third (or a quarter) of the Super Bowl starting QBs were "game managers." But if your defense is good enough, and/or you have a stud RB, that may be all you need. It's about winning; I'm sure Dilfer is just fine with that label as he twirls the ring on his finger.

Edit: I do agree that if he means that every NFL QB is pretty darn good, then he's right. That's not what I took from his comment, though.

Wow Seattle is very young.

Seattle will be stacked on defense until Wilson's contract is up then they'll lose a lot of guys when Wilson like every other above average NFL QB gets a huge deal and destroys their salary cap.

 

[palinurus]

Exactly. David Woodley? Jeff Hostetler?

Exactly. Going to happen to the 9ers also.

Hate to say it but this makes Sneaky Pete one of the top coaches of all time.
