How is the pick 6 not his fault? Take the fucking sack you gigantic forehead 5th best QB of all time.

It was tipped? He doesn't often throw 500-style passes 40 feet straight up.

Even though I've kind of felt like Caliendo jumped the shark a while ago I really got a kick out of this.

No bro, don't you know. Losing the superbowl is literally worse than making the playoffs.

Apparently tipped balls are completely and totally the QB's fault

Actually, I agree with Uber. :/

Manning should have tucked that ball and took the sack. The rush was coming in his plain view.

You're talking about a guy who thinks football is played with a circle ball that has a checkered pattern.

Short of Manning choking in a way he has yet to choke before, I just don't see how Seattle can cover the 5 weapons consistently. I say this knowing that I watched a few dominant defenses win Superbowls. This Broncos team just strikes me as being able to overcome the best the league can currently offer.

Broncos 27, Seattle 17.

Now that I have jinxed Peytee Pie, I feel much better.

Fuck yeah, am I ready for Vegas now or what?....

Eric Decker's value went from sky high to rock bottom over the course of 2 games.

He almost singlehandedly beats the Patriots, and catches 1 ball for 6 yds against the Seahawks.

What? I've never even watched a soccer match.

"All we did was play situational football," Sherman says. "We knew what route concepts they liked on different downs, so we jumped all the routes. Then we figured out the hand signals for a few of the route audibles in the first half."

He demonstrates the signs Manning used for various routes, and says he and his teammates were calling out plays throughout the game and getting them right. "Me, Earl [Thomas], Kam [Chancellor]. we're not just three All-Pro players. We're three All-Pro minds," Sherman says. "Now, if Peyton had thrown in some double moves, if he had gone out of character, we could've been exposed."

Richard Sherman, though hobbled, celebrates SB 48 win late into night | The MMQB with Peter King

How you feel about him now Niners fans?

We were saying throughout the game that it looked like Seattle had Denver's game plan. Well, at least they had their routes down pat.

As far as the audibles, it seems like either hubris or laziness beat the Broncos. They had two full weeks to design an audible system that wasn't known by their previous games.

Damnit.

this but lets not discount the fact that the broncos are a pass-first team and they were directly dealing with a redwood forest of a 2ndary

i think manning wins this game if they were facing like the 2007 or 2011 giants D that was hinged on pass rush, not an incredible 2ndary

Yup, I said the same before the NFC Championship was played. And also I said I didn't mind the Crabtree interaction and rant, didn't bother me at all. For someone who talks about "respect" so much, I thought the choking gesture towards Kaep was disrespectful but I'm pretty sure Sherman has said as much in hindsight so whatever, these two teams will be going at it for a while now so no sense in getting worked up about it.

I will tell you what though, I'm pretty sure any defensive college player coming out this year should send Dan Quinn and the Seahawks a big thank you letter. Their draft stock just shot up without having to lift a finger. Going to be interesting watching teams trying to emulate the Niners and Seahawks success, especially since neither one plays an overly complicated scheme, they just line-up and out physical the other teams.

The defenses of the NFC West are interesting. I personally think the Rams may have the best Dline but man that Seahawks secondary is just insane. I'm not sure what the Rams plans are but with Sam Badfords cap # they can't really afford much in FA. (depends on what they do with Finnegan and maybe a couple other guys)

Rams could pick up Clowney and Clinton-Dix. Wealth of defensive talent in the NFC West.

Would also say having a mobile QB that manages the game seems to be part of that key to success. Run the football, keep drives alive with QB runs when no ones open, take the shots when they are open.

Just another reason I don't want to see Sam Bradford take more snaps for the Rams.
