That was one of the greatest performances I've ever seen in sports, period. There was not one element of Seattle's game that wasn't firing on all cylinders. I give almost all credit to them, although I have to say that Denver's execution was flat-out embarrassing. Manning was completely off, their receivers weren't getting any separation and D. Thomas, despite the TD and record reception numbers, had multiple boneheaded plays. Worst of all was their defense though, who simply couldn't make a tackle.

I really think this exposed Denver though. They could not have had an easier schedule this year, and this is what happens when they get matched up against a power from the NFC. I would have taken the great defensive teams like San Fran, Carolina and maybe even Arizona over them, plus I think Green Bay and New Orleans would have been favourites over them.
