The Super Bowl proved that Manning and the donkeys were frauds

1.100 yrds in penalties isn't making many mistakes?

2. that doesn't seem a tad bit fishy somehow ?


aside from that, yes I'm sick of the childish blasting of a team because they lost a Super Bowl..that's what you do in 8th grade on the playground

I said it was normal for them, not desirable or acceptable. They were the most penalized team in the league, but it didn't seem to hurt them too much did it? I'd like to see some changes on the O line like maybe they can find a RT that doesn't hold and get PF's nearly every game and that can actually pass protect half way decently.

If you would have asked us how many yards in penalties they would end up with in this game I'm sure most of our fans would have said around 100y.

43-8 yea I think that was the Broncos fault.

I'm not surprised that many fans want to make this entire game about Denver and ignore how much Seattle did to destroy them in this game. They were able to figure out their signals at the line and used it to jump routes, they created their own signals that seemed to confuse them, after a couple of early hard hits (first of which separated the shoulder of Thomas) it was clear the receivers didn't want any part of playing over the middle.

The truth in any one sided game is it takes both to get it that far. You can't blame it all on Denver without giving due credit. Sorry, but it doesn't work like that.

As has been stated by many on here, this was simply a case of one team being one dimensional and predictable and the other side being totally prepared for it and shutting it down. As for Denver's defense, they actually played well enough early on to keep the team in this game under normal circumstances. Usually the Broncos would have gotten something going but Seattle's defense on that day was too well coached and too good. Plain and simple. There is no bigger picture here. Denver had a great year and came up a little short. Nothing more, nothing less. The Seahawks were better on that day, period.

Like I said whatever helps you sleep better at night. Ive admitted the Broncos broke the rules when will a Patriots fan admitt it? Have a great day!!

They obviously broke the rules in the first game in 07 , 500k fine for Belichick and first round draft pick losses. I have no prob in admitting this. Just like Sherman said that they were able to figure out the signs on D. If the opposing teams dont change up their calls them shame on them. They played each other in preseason, but how many times does that happen, when the teams in a SB actually played each other in same season?

The donkeys were never all that they were made out to be. They merely benefited from playing a schedule full of pathetic defenses. In the few regular season games where they played even a mediocre defense, they were not dominant. And in fact, the only reason they were even able to make it to the Superbowl is because of freakishly good weather in Denver during their two home playoff games. Combine that with playing a San Diego team that lucked into the playoffs and a New England team missing a ton of key players due to injuries, the donks never really had a chance against a battle tested Seattle team. Reality will continue to hit Manning and the donkeys next season too.

No I disagree with the premise here. I think the Broncos were very close to what was being said about them before the big game. Probably it was more of an aberration that took place and also lack of proper prep. The Saints played equally as bad in their first meeting with Seattle but managed to make it close in the playoffs. Just a bad day at the office for the Broncos and not really bringing a killer attitude to the game. There will be a regular season rematch coming next year so we will all see if they can play more as expected.
