The CFO from my company is Seattle GM John Schneider's sister. She was at the game today with the whole family. Going to be a big party in the Big Apple tonight! Congrats to the Seahawks.

I still think Pete Carroll is a little smarmy with his ducking USC before the sanctions hammer came down. But I'm happier than heck for former Badgers Russell Wilson, Chris Maragos and O'Brien Schofield.

Amazingly Joe Buck said something profound about Wilson...that he is a born leader. He exuded that when he was at Wisconsin and is one of the few classy players on that Seattle squad. He made plays today, but that defense rattled Manning. In fact, after that safety Manning didn't look himself the remainder of the game. The Denver defense tackled worse than the Packer's D did this year.

Felt really bad for Montee Ball. 3 straight Rose Bowl losses and then this train wreck of a game. He is a very good back that will hopefully make it back again someday.

Denver's D did their part in keeping Seattle to an 8 point lead after the 2 Seattle trips to the red zone. Then a disaster turned into a complete clusterf*** for Denver. They couldn't block, they couldn't hold onto the ball, Manning threw a bunch of wounded ducks out there.

Sherman was right!
Sherman wins it all!

It actually felt good typing that.

LORD HAVE PERCY!

How is Denver this morning? Flags at half mast? I heard fireworks after the game around here but I figured it was just the locals blowing their brains out.

Adam Gase should have taken a job while he had a chance. Broncos Defense has had some trouble but they are still fighting.

Broncos offense doesn't know what to do.

If Bob McGinn worked in Denver he would write that McCoy was the real brains behind Denver's Offense and he wouldn't have been bamboozled by the Seahawks.

The screens and crossers they used to such great effect all year were not gaining much and getting guys blasted. They had a ton of 20+ plays on those. Seattle was giving them to Denver and then just plastering the WR. DT caught a bunch of balls and was looking to avoid contact. They'd get him going sideways and he was done.

Maybe M3 was onto something when he was looking to go deep on them. Manning had guys open deep a few times and just couldn't make the throws.

People are in shock, I think. Everyone's pretty muted so far.

Being a Packers fan and seeing how the Seahawks and 9ers play ball against our team, I wasn't surprised at how they played. I think Denver was surprised by how physical the Seahawks were, and I think Denver's fans were not ready to see that.

Denver's tackles are terrible pass blockers on speed rushes. The RT can be bulled as well. Awful. This line looks a lot like this year's Packers O line at times.

Amazing how losing an All-Pro LT changes things, eh? A lot of people didn't feel like the Broncos really missed Ryan Clady and his hefty contract this year. Last night they sure missed him.

Same with Von Miller, who will be up for a new contract soon. They needed him badly.

Give the MVP to the pick 6 guy

Winner!

[denverYooper]

Yeah, like the Packers, they were just a fingernail length away from advancing.

Maybe San Fransisco needs to Fire Fangio! Get some FAs!
