OMG, another touchdown. How that Kearse kid stayed vertical, I do not know. This is a good team. And the game is a total rout.

Nice Dylan commercial too. A little jingoistic, but as a former owner of a very nice Chrysler 200, I gotta applaud.

Martina 02-02-2014 08:12 PM

Well, Denver finally got a TD. Nice catch. These are some amazing athletes.

Martina 02-02-2014 08:26 PM

Another Seahawks TD. The announcer just said, "for all intents and purposes, this game is over."

The play before the TD, Kearse caught another ball that it takes a real athlete to catch. Amazing.

Martina 02-02-2014 08:35 PM

Two incomplete Denver passes in a row. Neither looked that tough to my eyes. I wonder if Peyton is going to retire after this.

Man, that game just sucked from the get go. WTH? Denver had no answers to Seattle's ass whipping on them. Worst game of the Super Bowls I can remember.
What a case of Whoop Ass!! *smh*

Seattle sure deserves to win for their game day performance !!

Well Done Seattle!
Congratulations on your first NFL Championship!

From that Nation article I cited earlier:

Quote:

If Russell Wilson holds the Lombardi Trophy amidst the swirling environs in New Jersey, here are some things we are never going to have to hear again. We are never going to have to hear that Doug Williams, way way back in 1988, remains the only quarterback of African descent to lead a team to Super Bowl victory. That tired line, usually said by an uncle after too many beers, will have to die.

The second thing we will never have to hear again—and believe me, this cannot come soon enough—is the backward-looking concept that you can only win a Super Bowl if you have some dropback pocket passer with feet encased in mafia-grade cement like a Tom Brady, Joe Flacco or, oh, I don’t know, Peyton Manning. The scouting that if you are Russell Wilson or Robert Griffin III or Colin Kaepernick, then your style of play, no matter how “entertaining,” will lead to inevitable failure. Being able to run is a nice bonus for a quarterback, but irrelevant when it’s time to win. What I hate about this conventional wisdom is that racism runs through it like a jagged scar people pretend not to see.

GOOD GOING SEAHAWKS!
 
Broncos never had a chance, the first play was evident. So much was banked on Manning. Thanks Seahawks for bringing it home!

In that case maybe they had more time to get used to it.

Defense wins. I was rooting for the Seahawks but congrats to both teams for their seasons.

I didn't have a favored team for the super bowl. Since, my team didn't make it this year. However, I watched it because ...well, hell it's the Super Bowl. I merely was expecting a great game..the two top teams of the season going head to head. Instead, what I got was a one sided game that left me feeling sorry for Denver. They got their ass handed to them on a silver platter.

I kept hoping that they would just wake up and remember why they made it this far and make a game out of it...but, I could tell they were emotionally defeated in the first quarter.

C0LLETTE 02-03-2014 09:48 AM

Being in Canada I wont complain about the game but we even missed the commercials. I'm betting half of Canada is on YouTube today watching the delayed ads to see what the fuss was about.

Congrats to Seahawks and fans. I'm a huge, HUGE Bronco fan and it was a huge disappointment to see them come all this way just to be defeated. Seahawks came to play the big game and deserved that win. Welcome Seahawks to the Superbowl winners in the NFL. Still will always be a Bronco fan for life and cheer on my guys and be proud of them. They had a hell of a season and got whooped in the big game. smh * It was shameful. But it is what it is. I do not think Manning will retire this next season but he's getting there in the next 2 I believe. He's had a great NFL career and I'm glad Broncos got to play with one of the best and I'll look forward to their rebuilding after he's gone.

As far as security goes, it's huge with these events. I do event security and I can't even imagine what a Superbowl would entail when I know a concert, regular season game has at least 100 security officers on hand, paramedics, and law enforcement. I know they must have done a great job with it as I didn't hear of any threats or security breaches but then again sometimes you don't hear about it all the time in the mainstream public not to mention the medical emergencies such as intoxications, injuries, etc..

Couple of comments.

Seattle played an aggressive, non-stop defensive game that set up the offense, period. That's my opinion. D didn't give an inch and they are to be commended. I rooted for Denver because Colorado is my home state and because I really would have liked to see Peyton Manning end his season on a high, legendary note.

We defeated him at Nebraska when he was at Tennessee and I've watched him through years rebound from severe defeats. I think he's a heads-up, honorable man in the NFL who comes back year after year in pretty good shape with a head on his shoulders. He's an incredible player, win or lose. And no one will ever change my opinion of him. I consider him to be in the ranks of guys who have truly made this sport what it should be: competitive with honor. And unless he really messes up, that's my .02.

Harry Truman once said, "I feel like a load of hay just fell on me" when he assumed the presidency after FDR's death in office. When I looked at Peyton Manning today, I thought, "he looks like Harry Truman felt." And my heart goes out to him and so does my respect. You cannot put a game —especially expectations of a championship—on one man. Where was the team?

The guys of Seattle deserve that trophy. They played aggressively, strategically and opportunistically on both sides of the ball. That's what they love, that's why they make the big bucks. They risk their bodies for this game and life is over by around 38 unless you're a punter, 40 tops.

What I don't like or appreciate is that Seattle's win is overshadowed (in the media and internet) by Denver's defeat. These guys deserve accolades, rather than concentration on Denver's poor performance with criticism like, "shitty game," "bummer," "terrible loss," etc, etc. It's done. I believe that if you have any respect for the game, as its designed, and fair play...then man up as a fan, deal with it and give credit where credit is due.

Bask Seattle, you deserve applause and respect for playing a great game and for bringing home a first-ever Championship for your team.
And you have my respect in the game that I will always love most. To me, your win is...football.
