I'm not a fan of any particular team, just someone who likes to watch a good game. But in order to have a good game, two teams have to show up, and tonight that just didn't happen.
Yeah, it feels like a gloat, not a win. Especially with the history.
Still, the Seahawks failed to fall apart late game, so those of us that remember count that as a different, additional victory.

The team of destiny just ran into a team that is way better than them.

Hard to watch that game without thinking it would be nice to be young. Those kids were so fast, so quick, and so into what they were doing. You never saw a Denverite carrying the ball who did not have every Seattle player within range charging toward him at warp speed. Not so with Denver. That part of the game was a treat.
Have not watched FB in years. The reduction in head butting was very evident. The game has gotten better.
The ads and the half time? Who the heck do they think is out here watching? Good grief! The pigs I used to feed would have turned their noses up at the half time.

Seattle's 12th man comes through
12 seconds into 1st half = Safety
12 seconds into 2nd half = Touchdown

That kind of sums it up. There were so many facial shots of Peyton. I don't recall hardly any of Bulletman Wilson.
Earlier in the day I said to a friend in Alberta, "go Hawks!" Well before the game, I got back to him and said " May the best team win...or something like that."

I suspect that nature is the only man that could pull off wearing an obnoxious feathery light up Seahawks hat and Wilson jersey in Bronco country and actually be CONGRATULATED and thanked for being such a good fan by random Broncos fans on the street. All the other Seahawks fans we ran into last had been kicked out of multiple bars, had drinks thrown on them and threatened with ass kickings...

That's because the NFL has been overreacting to all the horrified ninnys and gold-digging lawyers out there who don't understand or even really like football, or who want to browbeat the NFL into ponying up more cash. If it weren't a popular sport these ninnys wouldn't give a rats rear end about helmet hits or anything else about how the game is played.
The game has not gotten better, just slightly neutered , essentially in a blow-over attempt to please a bunch of ninnys and legal consultants.

Man City v. Chelsea today.
Hell yeah I'm ready for some football! (not this boring ass american "football" bs where they play for 12 seconds then walk around slapping each others ass and yelling out Da Vinci codes for 6 minutes between "plays").
Mourinho and the rest of the blue racists need to get put in their place. Not a fan of Man-Sheik-y, but better the citizens than the chavs.

Denver thought that their finesse offense was just gonna keep working, but it was only gonna work against the Hawks if the o-line held. And Denver's o-line just got smacked down! Badly!
I was always worried about Denver's defense, and I was not surprised at how it played. This was either going to be a high-scoring game for BOTH teams, or Denver necessarily would lose. I thought Denver's o-line would do MUCH better than it did, so I though it would be a close game with a (just barely) Denver win.
But Denver's offense didn't come to PLAY, as many have noted here. Denver thought it would just (apparently easily) out-finesse an in-your-face team, which was ridiculous. Give Manning even a second more in the pocket, with receivers determined to make that extra half-yard or yard per play (instead of running the wrong way, trying to break out for the BIG play), and you've got a very different game. Denver had to be MUCH more "in the trenches" to win this.
The ironic metaphor to me is that the Broncos thought they would soar above, and the Hawks came prepared to harness up and drag heavy loads through deep mud. The physical sloggers proved their will and prowess, and the "lofty" Broncs got their "wings" clipped off!

Remember that Manning pass where his arm kept going forward and the ball had been stopped by defense early in the pass attempt? That was interesting to see.

the big problem for the O line was the receivers couldn't get open
normally with those picks and rubs manning needs only a few seconds to dump it off
Carroll et. al took that away and it exposed Denver as being very one-dimensional
surprised that Fox didn't have more tricks up his sleeve? I'm not.
where were the constant audibles Manning is known for? he did none of that. well except the first play of the game when he audibled a safety for Seattle lol
credit the game plan and the execution for making Manning look like a shadow of his former self

From what I could see, it may have been too damn LOUD for Manning to do all that scrimmage-line grab-ass he normally does, because nobody could hear a thing he was saying.
The fans sounded like a they were at a home game at The CLink.
Manning may as well have been IN Omaha, for all the good shouting "OMAHA" was doing him.

Perhaps it is a matter of what one likes? I thought the broken field runs by Seattle were little shy of impossible. Very exciting. You have to be smaller and fast to do that. If seeing three hundred pound guys being carried off with a fork lift excites one....I suppose. Quadriplegia is no fun though.
Ice hockey can be an even faster and more exciting game. As long as it is not footballed to death. What we need to do though is develop a system wherein spectators can be brought on field when the audience wants to see a ten foot long red streak on the barrier at field's edge. If we put up point sensitive microphones that sweep the seats recording which members of the audience most want to see blood, we would even have a good way to select volunteers. Just an idea for your consideration.
