Yea, I don't see a scenario where Seattle O scores over 21 or so.

Broncos run D is stout. Wilson isn't going to throw them to the win. If I were a Seattle fan, I'd be hoping Percy Harvin does something special, but he will probably just get injured.

Or, if Manning throws two pick sixes or something. He's really played well though, he's got to be feeling good. I think one INT so far, but it was off a fluke Decker drop in the end zone at the end of the half.

I guess awful weather could take Manning out of the game to some extent, but it would hurt them too.

denver has no problem runnin the ball 100 times, we've seen them do it incase the weather is bad. between their receiver screens and run game i dont think any snow will be an issue for them. they dont have to bomb it downfield.

i just cant see a scenario where seattle can win this gm. unless they can get amazing pressure with a basic pass rush like the giants have shown works.

my final prediction is 27-14

also cause of the falcons/kapernick gif i lol'd at this and had to post it

It's only fair if you can take the pain. That being said, that picture is hilarious but the train gif was better.

I'm not even sure, I think these teams are very evenly matched. Denver has the D that I think is ideal in stopping Seattle's offense, and Seattle's got the D that I think is perfect for stopping almost any QB. Not sure how it will do against Manning, though. He's different from any other QB they've faced, but if there's a team that can keep him from doing his usual 350 yards, 3-4 TDs, it's probably Seattle.

how many potent offenses did the seahawks actually face this season? Not all that many.

Just throwing it out there.

Haven't been this excited (or actually excited for that matte) for a super bowl like this in some years.

My Ravens fill their void at offensive coordinator by hiring...Gary ****ing Kubiak. The dude that completely destroyed Matt Schaub's career. Great. Joe Flacco will be unemployed by 2016.

Anything is better than Jim Caldwell though.

~~butthead aka 216~~ · 01-28-2014, 06:19 AM

At least kubiak might actually run once in awhile

Caldwell had us running it plenty, the playcalls were just too one-dimensional. No one was ever scared of Ray Rice last season because Caldwell thinks you need to pound it up the middle with him like he's a power back when he's not. Rice needs open space. You throw screens to him or give him outside hand-offs. Caldwell doesn't understand that.

Looks like a pretty ordinary schedule to me. Which offenses outside of Denver would you consider potent? If you want to get into strength of schedule, Denver had the softest schedule in the league.

~~butthead aka 216~~ · 01-28-2014, 09:48 AM

well whatever the case, ray rice didnt get nearly enough touches. he reslly should be a focal point of that offense. watching baltimore is always fristratin to me cause they are on my local station a lot. i felt like they coulda been much better last yr

seattle is the best defense because its a passing league and they have easily the best scheme/secondary for playin the pass. they didnt face a ton of potent offenses but there aren't that many elite ones in the league. denver, new orleans, pats, then who??

whats everyone eatin for the superbowl?? anyone cookin anythin nice? i plan to go to my buddies and make a buffalo chicken dip as usual. just some canned chicken, hot sauce and sour cream all mixed up. glorious.
