Denver reminder

This is one reason that Denver just spent $20 million guaranteed on Ware

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap100000 ... r-fax-flub

They were so confident they messed up their pass-rush for $4 million and then this year they are spending like there is no tomorrow

Yes the Seahawks got into their heads....

Can't blame 'em for panicking to fix their defense. :devil:

I seem to recall that they were about to get shut-out and probably would have if it wasn't a blowout. If course getting rid of Decker should fix that

Wasn't there a big missed flag on the one TD they scored that should have called it back, too? I'll have to watch again, but I thought they got away with something there. Could just be revisionist history, though...

Revisionist history

A flag in the Seahawks kept the drive alive though if I remember. I am not in the club of watching the game 10 times so probably wrong

The missed flag was DPI on Maxwell. Would've been a TD either way.

They also figure they only have a year or two of Manning left, so if they want to win a Super Bowl they have to spend now.

The Donkos will NOT win a Super Bowl with Peyton Manning at quarterback. He is done. He will put up big numbers but that's it. Playoffs are a different animal and we exposed him in the Super Bowl

He was fine in the playoffs. Broncos had NO gameplan for Seattle's D. Can't blame Peyton for this one, Seattle showed up.

He was average in the playoffs. The best offense ever averaged 18 pts a game during the playoffs. 20 pts below season avg

they avg. 18 in the playoffs because they didn't need to do anymore leading up the Super Bowl. I hate when people use this argument against Seattle's offense and I hate it when its used incorrectly elsewhere too. Look what Seattle's offense did in the Super Bowl when they opened it up a bit. Stats paint a big picture but not all of it.

Peyton can't throw the ball deep like he used to do in Indy. That means the defenses can creep up the field ala the Matt Hasselbeck problem. I do agree that the o-line and the receiver thumping is definitely credit to Seattle's D, but Seattle could also play Kam in the box because of Peyton's arm strength. So that is a continuing issue for Peyton going forward and that is his problem.

No team that has ever "won in Free Agency" has ever won the Superbowl. Denver's "Dream Team" will be funny to watch.

Elway is making a huge mistake imaho, he doesn't need to boost his defense, he needs to improve his offensive line. They got exposed against Seattle's man coverage.

In a what if, what if Talib hadn't gotten injured in the AFCCG?

I don't know about that. One could very well make the argument that we won Free Agency last year.

As I pointed out in a different post: They came into the SB with the greatest offense of all time. And our D outscored them 9-8. Let's assume they had a vastly improved defense. We still get a couple FG's from the turnovers that didn't result in TD's and win it 15-8. Let's assume Harvin doesn't make it 22-8.
Can Denver, with a LOB type defense win that game?

No. Because Wilson doesn't make turnovers and Manning does.

They also had no gameplan for the 12s showing up. I keep thinking something about 12 seconds for 2 somehow.

I'm not sure about the 'best offense ever' though.

You didn't hear Welker claim it during the Super Bowl? LOL
