Rut Posted 2 February, 2014 Posted 2 February, 2014 Who's watching the SB tonight then? As a DEN fan I'm bricking it a bit but think that DEN will win easily. Bookies have DEN as a 2 point fav - can see them winning by way more than that. I just don't think SEA can match DEN for putting points on the board. DEN to score 40+. SEA to score nowhere near that. Away from all the 'stoner bowl' gags the facts do 100% say: if your State legalizes cannabis your NFL team will get to the Superbowl.
StDunko Posted 2 February, 2014 Posted 2 February, 2014 Booked tomorrow off work and looking forward to the game. Nice way to finish what has been an awesome weekend. Great game at the Cottage, beers and curry in London after, now the Superbowl... Think Manning will be too good for the Seahawks, but I expect a close game.
shurlock Posted 2 February, 2014 Posted 2 February, 2014 Don't particularly like the seahawks -bunch of PED cheats- but on the whole I prefer good defenses to good offenses and the Seahawks are the unfashionable team of the two. Have bad memories of my trip to Mile High Stadium last September, so wouldn't mind seeing them fall short, though Bailey deserves a ring. The Broncos won't get many more chances with Manning knocking on and a looming cap situation (Decker etc).
Dr Who? Posted 2 February, 2014 Posted 2 February, 2014 I thought the 49ers were nailed on winners last year, but look what happened. I hope the Seahawks win, but cannot see it. I am working so will watch it tomorrow evening.
shurlock Posted 2 February, 2014 Posted 2 February, 2014 Peyton living up to his reputation as a choker.
Turkish Posted 3 February, 2014 Posted 3 February, 2014 Having been unfortunate enough to have seen the first 10 minutes I can understand why the yanks kill so many of their own in combat 'friendly fire' now
Polaroid Saint Posted 3 February, 2014 Posted 3 February, 2014 Is American Football the only sport wherein a professional can wear a bum-bag whilst competing at the highest level? Quite enjoying it. Don't have a clue half the time, to be honest, but yeah enjoying it.
shurlock Posted 3 February, 2014 Posted 3 February, 2014 No fumble, knee was down, surely, but it ain't looking good for the Broncos.
Saint_clark Posted 3 February, 2014 Posted 3 February, 2014 They'll get their sh*t together in the second half, this will end up close enough that the safety might actually play a part IMO.
Saint_clark Posted 3 February, 2014 Posted 3 February, 2014 Chillis singing "give it away now" after Broncos first half is quite ironic.
Saint_clark Posted 3 February, 2014 Posted 3 February, 2014 Ok, I was wrong. This is the greatest choke in sporting history.
Jimmy_D Posted 3 February, 2014 Posted 3 February, 2014 Also booked tomorrow off work expecting a close game... This is brutal to watch.
Saint_clark Posted 3 February, 2014 Posted 3 February, 2014 I did wonder if there were any other ways for Seahawks to score, apparently not 2 point conversion from a TD? Am I right in saying no team has ever been shut out in a Superbowl?
Jimmy_D Posted 3 February, 2014 Posted 3 February, 2014 Quick Google tells me the lowest Superbowl score has been 3...
Saint_clark Posted 3 February, 2014 Posted 3 February, 2014 I'm not going to bed, just in case Need another 3 touchdowns with 2 point conversions and then another TD...
Saint_clark Posted 3 February, 2014 Posted 3 February, 2014 Now I'm going to bed. Defending for that last touchdown was comical, they just kept diving straight past him.
Saint George Posted 3 February, 2014 Posted 3 February, 2014 Well that was close! Sorry Rut...I feel for ya
shurlock Posted 3 February, 2014 Posted 3 February, 2014 (edited) Didn't see that coming, though I thought the Broncos would struggle against aggressive man-to-man coverage (like they did against Indy in the regular season). A very soft performance by the Broncos, typified by the way they opened both halves - you can't fall behind against a D like Seattle's so early. Hopefully Manning is cleared for one more run and the D gets back to health. Should be a much stronger AFC next season. Edited 3 February, 2014 by shurlock
Rut Posted 3 February, 2014 Author Posted 3 February, 2014 As painful as that game was at least it never looked like Denver could win. ie be 20 points up in the 4th quarter and Seattle get 3 TD's. The last one from a hail mary with 5 seconds on the clock that gets a very dodge PI call. Lose by a point after looking certain to win. They are the *real* painful defeats. At 15-0 just before HT Denver were in FG range. I thought at least get a FG here and go in 12 points down, surely the 2nd half can't be as bad. What happens? Ball is intercepted for a pick 6. 22-0. First play after HT - TD return. 29-0. Game over. The strange is - I reckon if the game was played again next weekend Denver could well win it. Everything that could go wrong did yesterday. Was freakily bad.
Window Cleaner Posted 3 February, 2014 Posted 3 February, 2014 Peyton living up to his reputation as a choker. probably because he is.
Dr Who? Posted 3 February, 2014 Posted 3 February, 2014 2 years in a row that the underdog wins through, great to see the right area of America winning this year!
Saint in Paradise Posted 4 February, 2014 Posted 4 February, 2014 Oh dear poor man, well he is a lot poorer now. http://lilhub.com/man-loses-7-million-after-the-broncos-lost
