THE **OFFICIAL** SUPER BOWL XLVIII GAME THREAD.

[corgi]

Seattle's defense wins the MVP. The entire defense was in dominant form. Tonight. As a Colts fan I take solace in the fact that the Colts beat both of these teams. We have a bright future.

Very well said Grey Wizard.

[oldunclemark]

2 Ints don't put 42 points on the board.

 

Even if the Broncos scored on every possession, they still would have loss.

 

Again, this is a team game. Seattle came to win.

I guess its all one guy,.......you can hear it anyway..

 

..when they win.the AFC is weak..when they lose..Peyton lost

[Moose Of Woe]

Best Defense ever in NFL history?

 

2004 Patriots.

[ricker182]

I would take Wilson over a Luck.

Here come the trolls...

[Fx Stryker]

This such a dominant performance by a defense. Seattle, hats off to you.

[Moose Of Woe]

Hes either the biggest choke artist in the history of the NFL or the most snake bitten player ever. Choose your side.

Or his teams have just been outplayed. I don't see that as choking or being snake bitten.

 

The same can be said for 31 starting QB's every season.

[poaponies]

It was sad to see peyton loss, but it would have been harder if the colts loss in the superbowl. Plus none of the players on denver left denver 

[backshoulderfade]

I would take Wilson over a Luck.

Sure, as long as the Seattle D comes as part of the package.

[mahagga73]

2004 Patriots.

Got to be the Ravens, that defense was amazing with no offense to go with it.

[UKCOLT17]

I would take Wilson over a Luck.

good for you but am glad the colts got luck

[Andrew Luck's Beard]

I hate it when they show the Gatorade showers. I want Gatorade now. D:

[No 1 Manning Fan]

I get the Manning bashing by Manning haters. But what I don't get is how you all can overlook how poorly Denver's D played and how poorly the offensive line played. Has Manning played well? Heck no. But there is much blame to go around.

[buffalo34]

FYI, the last time the "greatest offense ever" (a team that ESPN openly cheered for from before Week 1, and this is a term I see used by Peyton haters a lot here tonight) went to a Super Bowl, they put up 14 points (and their QB laughed off "we're only gonna score 17 points? LOL! Ok! Is Plax playing defense?") and an 18-0 team dropped to 18-1.

 

Defense wins championships, ya'll.

[James Harden]

And the super bowl MVP is........?

[Gabriel Alexander Morillo]

No need to discredit Wilson. They converted Pretty much every 3rd down and most of them were Wilson making great plays.

[UKCOLT17]

Denver just had to many injuries to key players at wrong time there pass rush is shocking to say how bad seattles o is

[The Laughing Man]

FYI, the last time the "greatest offense ever" went to a Super Bowl (since I'm seeing that term thrown around by Peyton haters tonight) they put up 14 points (and their QB laughed off "we're only gonna score 17 points? LOL! Ok! Is Plax playing defense?") and an 18-0 team dropped to 18-1.

 

Defense wins championships, ya'll.

If it makes you feel better to bring Brady into it, do so. Not going to take away from this.

 

55 TDS, 607 points---------> 8 in the Superbowl. 

[Moose Of Woe]

The 2000 Ravens are mighty close.

[LordHelpOurColts]

Biggest butt kicking I have ever seen

They all sucked. Period.

 

Denver's D was servicable for a half, then crapped themselves all second half.

Are you from Buffalo? Only reason I ask is because you said "ya'll" that's commonplace here in Va, but I didn't know it was used up north.

[backshoulderfade]

No need to discredit Wilson. They converted Pretty much every 3rd down and most of them were Wilson making great plays.

He is one to admire. He isn't like Kap and RG3. He can actually sit back in the pocket and pass. I don't want to call those guys run first, but Wilson certainly knows when to escape the pocket. Super intelligent too.

I just like Luck's size over him. Plus I feel Luck has shown more playing from behind. Not that Wilson ever gets much of a chance at that.

Don't worry. It's only just begun. If you don't want to hear it, I'd suggest you stay away from TV for 12-18 months.

[oldunclemark]

I would take Wilson over a Luck.

so would Skip Bayless

[No 1 Manning Fan]

Denver just had to many injuries to key players at wrong time there pass rush is shocking to say how bad seattles o is

There was no pass rush and poor secondary play all game. Terrible D. They really need to address that this off season and think about getting rid of Del Rio.

[oldunclemark]

Percy Harvin is the MVP

[snkdy]

Damn. I was watching with my family and I'm just gutted for Peyton.

 

That SEA defense was truly something else. They better be rewarded for MVP.

[Moose Of Woe]

Defense wins championships, ya'll.

That.

More specifically TEAMS do, but D is the most important facet.

 

Great D = invincibility. Not to mention putting your O in great field position. The only other ways for the other team to win are a ST blunder or fumble/pick six.

[UKCOLT17]

i think they will the get miller back which is big boost cause hes one of the best pass rushers out there i think they missed chris harris alot myself but i think they will try get few players in draft

[No 1 Manning Fan]

Don't worry. It's only just begun. If you don't want to hear it, I'd suggest you stay away from TV for 12-18 months.

I know. I just don't understand why QBs get all the blame for losing. There are three phases to the game and the Broncos were outplayed in every phase. It's not like they were in the game and Peyton lost it for them.

[buffalo34]

If it makes you feel better to bring Brady into it, do so. Not going to take away from this.

 

55 TDS, 607 points---------> 8 in the Superbowl. 

 

Just saying, most teams with high powered offenses fizzle out in the Super Bowl. Happened tonight, happened to the Patriots, happened to the Bills 4 times, and countless other times.

[adamthyst]

It hurts to see this happen to Peyton. It felt like he was the only one on Denver trying.

[Moose Of Woe]

Denver just had to many injuries to key players at wrong time there pass rush is shocking to say how bad seattles o is

Injuries are no excuse. Coaching can fix that, or at least minimize the damage.

[buffalo34]

Nah, I'm from Massachusetts. Felt like throwing that term up, lol. Believe me, I don't consider myself a country guy or a southerner at all, lol.

[Moose Of Woe]

It hurts to see this happen to Peyton. It felt like he was the only one on Denver trying.

Welker was Denver's best player tonight, and he was average.

[oldunclemark]

It hurts to see this happen to Peyton. It felt like he was the only one on Denver trying.

It hurt to watch.....and he'll be blamed for the loss........its all on the him...

 

.....that';s the life of the top QBs

[ColtsFTW]

The whole state of Colorado should be put on suicide watch.

[UKCOLT17]

u really think that ok lol

[mahagga73]

Yeah, the line was poor, Peyton was bad, the D was bad. They probably lose even without the picks. It's too bad he might go out in his last SB like that, I don't think they will probably be back. Football is cruel like that.

[oldunclemark]

No one believes coaching can make up for injuries.......Seattle was just better.
