Who wins the Super Bowl?

[Iron Mike]

The only thing that I can say is that game was literally a curb-stomping.

Manning has always been pretty sketchy with pressure in his face. He just usually never faces any because blitzers open holes in the defense that Denver's offense has exposed with quick-hitting pass plays.

Seattle not only harried Manning all game, but shut the door on the underneath stuff to boot.

when he through the pick I called it 5 seconds earlier (I was watching with a seattle fan). I said "hmmm....3rd and 7, haven't moved the ball yet. This is where Manning and Favre always feel like they MUST make a play and end up throwing a pick so you can't punt". It was great. Everyone thinks I'm a genius and they forgot the 10 things I was wrong about.

PS...Can anyone bump the thread where tank predicted that Peyton would cement his legacy as the greatest QB ever and I quoted it and said he would cement his legacy as the greatest regular season qb ever.

What do I win?

The problem with Manning is that, even as great as he is at this point in his career, he is an immobile QB. The Seahawks didn't have to worry about losing containment, having him scramble downfield,or running a bootleg play. And Manning is just not very accurate, or able to drive the ball down the field with his arm.

I won't take anything away from the defense, but the Bronco's offense played right into their strengths.

The admiration of your peers. WELL DONE!

...or in some cases, their reluctant recognition. well done.

After that performance yesterday I wonder where Settle's D ranks among the best all time. You hold the number one scoring offense in NFL history to 8 points in the biggest game of the year after dominating the regular season as well. Settles d scored more points than Devers O. Who would have predicted that.

Football Outsiders had them at 3rd behind the 85 Bears and the 02 or 03 Bucs. 2000 Ravens should get some credit, but they played a very poor offensive slate of games and most ratings systems that take strength of opponent into account knock them down accordingly.

Denver 31
Seattle 17

The debate then becomes who's better - Peyton or Montana?

Well, guess I was wrong. Got caught up in the hype.

FWIW, all of those teams only won one Superbowl and failed to maintain their level of dominance.

Hey, I mentioned that in another thread. I also included the Giants' defenses, if only for their playoff runs.

Funny how Seattle's number keeps going up.

Interesting, among the top 5 defenses all time. They sure played like it yesterday.

I get the point, but what does that prove. I think its just hard in general to win multiple superbowls no matter how you get it done. Since the start of the salary cap era (1994), only the pats have able to win three and get to four or more. Since 2000, 11 different teams have represented the NFC in the superbowl. Only the Giants have been able to go multiple times. Whats kind of sad is since 1994 we are probably the only team that can say they have had two MVP/Hall of frame Qbs every year and we have only won two in the last 20 years.

edit: Settle went in 05
