Super Bowl XLVIII

- Start date
I want the seahawks to win. but if they play like they did today, im not sure they will...
denver can stop the run, and manning will control the clock.
if seattle puts manning on his ass a few times early, and doesnt give him all day to throw the ball, they got a good shot. I think all it would take is a few roughing the passer penalties or whatever, make his pants get grass stains in the first 5 minutes they will win.
peyton cant play if by the end of the first quarter hes thinking how much bleach hes gonna need for his pants to get clean the next day

When I checked four hours ago, Vegas had Seattle favored by 1 point, but now it has flipped. Denver is currently favored by 1.5 in the big game. They are saying it will probably be flipping back and forth for the next week. This will probably be the narrowest Super Bowl point spread since the Niners were favored over the bungles by 1 point.
What's funny is everyone just keeps talking about Manning's offense and Seattle's defense. No one is mentioning how Jack Del Rio has the Bronco's defense playing in the postseason. I have huge respect for his coaching abilities and defensive minded aggressiveness.
I don't know if he was overruled by Fox in the last quarter or not with the defensive calls. Those thirteen 4th quarter points by N.E. today were scored in a softer preventive look when they were ahead. I never believed in playing 3 Deep Zone, Soft Cover 2, etc. when an aggressive man look has been working most of the game. They held N.E. to 3 points for the first three quarters! Don't ask me why they switched up, but finally went back to their bread and butter again towards the end.
I don't see Wilson and Lynch having much success against Denver's defense in this game.

All teams match up differently and obviously Seattle is going to play better against S.F's defense since it was the third time they got to see them this year. Even with that being said, I wasn't impressed with Seattle's offense in the championship game. Jack Del Rio will be ready with a great defensive scheme in the big upcoming game.
I also think Seattle is going to have a rough time with Denver's offense. What would you play against the Bronco's offense? Man coverage, Bump and Run Man, Umbrella, etc? That's a tricky question, because Manning always picks apart zone defenses and seems to throw perfect, pin-point, accurate passes against man defense.

I wouldnt sleep on denvers defense. If seattle can find a way to to fuck up manning and keep denvers defense on the field thats a different story. Denver has a good defense, and the more time they have to breath the less pts your going to score on em
weak point for denver is their cb's. champ bailey aint 100%, and even if he was he dont play like he used to even though he could shut down golden tate with the way wilson throw the ball.
denver has bars at makin defenses tired too. 49ers got a good O-line, but Denvers O-line is better. You let manning get 4-5 seconds in the pocket thats all he needs to make a completion.
Next thing you know 5 minutes got ran off the clock and manning played a quarter of the game as fast as you could play a game of madden.

I am not trying to tear any team down, I was just giving my honest opinion. To be honest, I want to see Wilson get a ring (and Kap too if the Niners had won) over Manning. I never liked Denver for various reasons. Mainly because of that loss against them in the 1997 AFC Championship game when that classless, scumbag, piece of shit Bill Romanowski taunted Kordell Stewart. We eventually got our revenge though in the 2005 AFC Championship.
Anyway, why not start the hype now? Seattle could beat Denver, but they will have to play lights out in all three phases of the game IMO. Somehow they have to take away those five yard drag and crossing routes that Manning likes to throw. Chucking Denver's WR's at the L.O.S. is the only way I see Seattle doing that (knocking off the timing of the routes).
I am excited to watch this Super Bowl match up!
