SEATTLE SEAHAWKS VS. DENVER BRONCOS GAMEDAY THREAD (SUPER BOWL XLVIII)

If anything, the win tonight validated how good Kap is, and could be. -Manning and Brees were just garbage against Seattle, and you could say they had better offenses/coordinating than us, while Kap took Seattle to the brink in their own s**tty house. I feel really good about things right now, there's always room for perspective... and jello.

Which is why I pulled for SEA. It validated what we tried to do in a sense. We are real close and our contest was in SEA! I already knew that whatever we did this year we would be better next season. We are coming!

Sad that these avid fans, radio hosts, fringe media voices preferred race-baiting, not football as a platform and fanatically denounced entire communities and fan-bases as monolithic groups identical to Sherman and pitted against the "class" of the Martyr Manning...... in a game that supposed to supersede racial division and promotes unity above all. SMH AND I fu*ckn HATE THE HAWKS!!

WUT??

wat part are u missing?... it was in conjunction with a previous post about the sports rhetoric made political commentary for weeks leading up to the Superbowl. A retort in response to the political diatribe that went viral after the Seahawks and Dick Sherlock beat us after the NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME. You know the immature comments he made on National TV FOLLOWING the tipped pick, involving him disparaging Crabtree and proclaiming himself the best corner in the league? So much so that it garnered a litany of reactionary, impulsive, and racially insensitive responses from FANS and Media heads alike among others, then culminating into an OPEN DISCUSSION about the dynamic of CLASS and RACE in mainstream society; particularly when using the NFL as a microcosm to describe the nature of racial and socio-political phenomena in America.

This dialogue, first popularized and perceived through the lens of mainstream sports media and radio initially, but later narrated, overamplified, and reshaped by fans and others via social network & etc, was annoyingly and endlessly rehashed for public consumption and scrutiny.

You did know that it sparked debate from local and national News outlets and POLITICAL liaisons from CNN, CBS in the Morning, The New York Daily News, FOX, USA Today among others, and even provoked social commentary by President Obama, beyond just a sports paradigm, similar to Richie Incognito story, right?


But sorry for being so verbose and perhaps not clear enough. It was kind of Poster specific.....

Something ours didn't do in the 4th quarter. He played to win and now he's a Super Bowl champ.

I think it is safe to say that our QB was not the reason we lost to SEA. Yes he made costly mistakes but it was his playmaking that kept us in that game in SEA and he was the reason we were yards away from a return trip to the Super Bowl after having closed the season with nearly 4 consecutive road wins of a playoff atmosphere to get it done. We came startlingly close and had the game been at the Stick as it should have been it would probably be us celebrating today. The least we can do is rally behind our team and support them as we embark on another Quest for 6!


Also, I think this game showed us why the $100 million QB is not beneficial when playing these balanced teams. SEA has a lot of money and talent tied up in their defense and they held the number one offense to 8 points. DEN has a lot tied up on offense and in Peyton and not enough on defense and they got 43 points hung up on them. These QBs thought the game was all about them when in fact SEA showed today it is about the team. QBs want to be paid like LeBron and MJ but in basketball those guys by themselves can make enough impact to swing a championship but in the NFL no one QB can beat a complete team full of defensive studs by themselves. Stop paying them $20 million annually. Rodgers couldn't beat us in GB by himself. He needed Lacy and a defense and even with horrible officiating and inclement home weather he lost to the more complete team and he is the best in the game. Hopefully this win further enforces why Kap should help us help him by getting a deal that both pays him but leaves food to eat for his teammates because not having Crab showed him that he needs help. Peyton even needs a better defense but can they afford one while paying him?

EXACTLY!!

I'm old school. If you beat me then go get it. At least I know I'm close. If you beat me you must be the best because it is what I thought of myself and now I know whose a$$ I'm supposed to kick next year!

That is true in most cases against any other team besides SEA, especially after that crazy post game rant.

That is an interesting point. I think the Steelers are the only team to win a Super Bowl with a $100 million QB. Big Ben signed his contract in march 2008 and the Steelers won that season... but they have basically eroded away while paying that much money. Paying that much money will probably help your team still win the division and get to the playoffs as you can see from the Patriots, Broncos, Packers, and Saints making the playoffs with ease every year... but then they all seem to fall to the more complete team not paying that much to a single player.

Kap has already said that he wants to get paid fairly but also leave room to keep the team competitive... but until that happens.. its just words. In his mind taking $100 million instead of $120 could be "helpful".

he managed his way to a super bowl trophy. When the defense was dominant, he didn't create costly mistakes to give the game away.

18-25, 206 yards, 26 yards rushing, 2 TD's, qbr 88., passer rating 123.1

It was more than game management, it just seemed like less because it was such a lopsided win.

Russ is a champ tonight and he balled today but in the real super bowl last month he managed a victory. Kap on then other hand had to try and carry us vs the number one defense and came up one play short. Russ gets the upper hand right now because he is the champ and Kap should probably have no eyebrows right now. LOL!

If anything, the win tonight validated how good Kap is, and could be. -Manning and Brees were just garbage against Seattle, and you could say they had better offenses/coordinating than us, while Kap took Seattle to the brink in their own s**tty house. I feel really good about things right now, there's always room for perspective... and jello.

MAN....WELL SAID!! THE EXACT WAY I FEEL!! 3 turnovers from Chocker-face Manning and TBH the boy looked SHOOK and SPOOKED out there like it was HALLOWEEN in February or he saw Ray Lewis and Ed Reed in his face all over again like groundhog day lol.....like he ALWAYS looks when its pressure or playoff time. At least Kap was trying to WILL his way to victory IN SEATTLE and made throws aggressively looking to WIN at all cost.

It's just like 93 when we lost to the boys and they took home the trophy. We just have to comeback like we did in 94 and take our s**t back. But the team has to be hungry enough to do so.

Peyton looked like a lil scared boy out there, desperately looking forward to a a slice of good ol Papa John's Pizza, a Budwieser, and a Bed before halftime... lol Hes still probably shaking profusely, still traumatized thinking there's one more quarter left to play, so he can get the hell out of "SEATTLE," while Eli's playing Pictionary with him just to remind him HE'S actually in NY, about 15 mi away from the home of a 2x Superbowl Champion. lol

It's really funny how the media is just whoring Wilson around right now, when he literally had zero impact on the game, and couldn't score three straight times in the redzone. -Guess they gotta put a positive image up since the real contributors are scumbags, whom are hated across America.

He deserves some praise though. He played a very clean game. Made some nice throws, and scrambled effectively. Does he need an amazing defense to win? Probably, but so what. He's not the first nor the last QB to ride a great defense all the way through the SB.

He made a few 3rd down conversations that were important for the Hags. But did you notice I think he used the same move on all 3 conversions; the move towards the right, then the spin/loop to the left and run up-field and make the throw. That move seems to wreck most teams, though, and I say this with relish, in hte last game we had he did this and Aldon was waiting for him = NO conversion. This is a play/move to scheme to, to stop conversions for a 1st down.

I think he is more dangerous just continuing to run to the right sideline. However all in all, I would like to see a nice concussion the next time we play the Hags. Nothing too bad just a near KO..especially after all the cheap shots I have seen by them and other teams on Kap this season as he goes out of bounds, many marginally late hits as well. Damn good thing he lifts those weights too many of you complain about, or he wouldn't be getting up so easy.. NINERS!!
