"the broncos will just load the box to stop lynch and force wilson to beat them"
Didn't the niners load the box. Lynch still ran for 110. Lynch in the playoffs has been money, stopping him isn't just that simple.
"Sherman can't cover 4 recievers"
Everyone think maxwell and thurmond aren't good only because they don't get hype and haven't been starters very long. So people just ignore their stats and what they do for the team.
"seahawks can't hide behind their home crowd"
people are still spewing this shit out. News flash, no team is as good on the road as they are at home. The seahawks have the exact same road record as denver.
"Wilson is just a game manager, look at his passing yardage"
This is a classic argument that holds no water. While wilson has not been playing great although he pretty good against SF, using passing yardage as a reason a run first, prevent turnovers at all costs offense sucks is FS.
"the seahawks offense sucks"
People look at statistics, like yardage and points, and when a team isn't at the top the offense sucks. PFO has them in the top 10 in DVOA. These days it's all about fantasy points and no one can accept a team that plays ball control
I've seen a couple people say the Broncos win in a blowout. Just like every team other team has done to the seahawks the last 2 years. They haven't lost by more than 7 points since CIN in the middle of fucking 2011

    The national media once again proves how out of touch and anept they are.... Also cowherd was a complete moron on Brock n Danny the week before the niners game....he completely missed the boat on the hawks.
    I'm hoping for a massive blowout.

    FYI -

    Manning's career record is 4-7 when the temperature is 32 or colder at kickoff. This could be the coldest Superbowl in history. Current record is the 39 @ kickoff Super Bowl VI in 1972 in New Orleans’ Tulane Stadium

    Weather favors Seattle - Manning is cold sensitive

    I don't see blowout, but a 27-23 or 28-24 type game. Take the Hawks and make some free cash

    I'm not predicting a winner, but there have been plenty of average quarterbacks that have won the Super Bowl (Trent Dilfer, Brad Johnson, Jeff Hostetler) and plenty of great quarterbacks that have lost the Super Bowl (John Elway, Dan Marino, Tom Brady, Fran Tarkenton, Jim Kelly). So, while I think Peyton is great, it doesn't mean denver will win.

    However, no average defense has ever won a Super Bowl. Some defenses have been better than others, but ALL Super Bowl winners have had VERY good defenses. It's a requirement.

    I think the hawks win by a little more than that. They take the lead in the 4th 21-20 and then add another TD as they wear denver down.
    I'm looking at 28-20.
    I also wouldn't be shocked at all if we lose, but we're not getting blown out. Speaking of which check out this thread from the donkey forum

    Somebody needs to post 5 reasons over there. I see some 35-17 type scores over there. The tables need to be turned on them a bit.

    I like how they are underestimating the Seahawks' defense.

    someone definitely needs to post a 5 reasons.
    Look harder, there's a few 45-17 type scores, the worst is the 13-6, they're gonna hold us to 6?
    But yes someone needs to poast a 5 reasons for sure

    Normally I agree w/ you Passion but Baltimore last year didn't have a great D. Nor did New Orleans the year they won. Nor did Green Bay.

    That stopped being true around 2007

    Disagree, in the playoffs GB's defense came on hard, remember they contained vick in philly. got the backbreaker pick six on Ryan and held chi scoreless after 3 quarters.
    Balt held luck in the div to 9, held NE in Foxborough to 13, and played pretty well against DEN (denver got 2 TD on ST)
    NO yes I'll give u that one
