FIRST, motherfucker.

 

[WaTaGuMp]

Are we going to hear, " I am going to Disneyland " after its over?

 

[glenn1]

Opening line is +1.5 SEA with a 48 O/U. Will be interesting to see how it moves over the next week or so.

[gorcorps]

Woo! Looking forward to it. Two very different teams should prove to be interesting.

It's also going to be a big deal when they meet in the regular season next year.

 

[Sinsear]

Richard Sherman should be banned from media week

 

[MetalMat]

I'm taking the Broncos to roll Seattle.

 

[WaTaGuMp]

Best commercial from?

 

[olds]

I am going with Brandon.

 

[Clinkster]

I'm taking the Broncos to roll Seattle.

Same. Manning has been on a roll. If Denver can get ahead and force Seattle to throw the ball more, Seattle's mediocre post-season passing game will seal their fate.

 

[videogames101]

Denver is going all the way.

 

[cavemanmoron]

Buffalo Bills in 2015.

Between the two, I'd prefer a Denver win, but worried about Seattle's secondary. Manning looked great but through timing and great accuracy - his arm strength looked soft unless he really drove through the throw. Seattle's secondary will punish every hanging ball.

The only top 5 passing defense Denver played was Houston where they dominated. So there is that - but Seattle has given up about 1/2 the number of TDs and has gotten 4X the number of INTs as Houston.

 

[BoomerD]

I've been a Seattle fan since they started the franchise...(one of the three teams of which I'm a BIG fan) but I think Denver will...like always...be a huge pain for Seattle. They've always given Seattle trouble...especially when the game actually counts.

I'm HOPING for a Seattle win at the Meadowlands...but won't be at all surprised if they lose...in fact, I'll be MORE surprised if they manage to pull off a win against PFM.

 

[IAteYourMother]

I'd be pretty surprised if Denver won. That secondary is just too good and physical, it's similar to how Peyton struggled against the physical secondaries of the Patriots over the course of his career.

 

[dbk]

Poll plz...I think Seattle will win. I don't trust the Broncos O-line to protect Peyton. I wonder what his QBR is under duress. Denver loves running that pick play after loading receivers on one side. I think Seattle's DBs will blow that up at the line. Julius Thomas is a huge wildcard..if Broncos are going to win - Orange Julius will prob have a big game. I don't know if Manning will get enough time to throw the ball down the field.

 

[Childs]

I pick Seattle...something like 24-17.

 

[BUTCH1]

PM's been on a roll, but he has been getting great protection from his line, if that continues I like Denver's chances...

 

[IAteYourMother]

Denver opens as -3 favorites, which seems crazy to me, but whatever. I guess Seattle won't be playing at home anymore.

 

[BUTCH1]

I was just reading that some Seattle fans threw food at NaVorro Bowman as he was being carted off the field after the gruesome ACL tear, then the whole Sherman thing, he comes off as an arrogant asshole who can play good CB. I can also remember Seattle fans slinging verbal crap at Brady after they beat the Patriots by one point a few years ago. For the first time in my life I am truly hoping Manning wins and beats this classless team with their ghetto fans.

 

[Centauri]

After the Patriots fell, I was fully prepared to throw my support to the Seahawks. But then Sherman opened his face hole and reminded me that I don't really like the team (aside from Wilson, who is a class act) or its fans.

Now I'm torn, dammit.

I think if you look you can find classless behavior by most team's fans. Just off the top of my head you have Texans fans cheering when Schaub got injured and the philly fans booing when one of NO's players got injured in the wildcard round. All teams have annoying fans, or at least all teams that have been successfulish in the past 10 years have "classless" fans. I doubt you'll find too many classless Buffalo or Cleavland fans but thats mostly because any optimism about the team is rapidly and efficiently snuffed out.

 

[Slew Foot]

NFL wants Peyton to win, go with the Broncos

 

[Capt Caveman]

Weather that night may be a big factor in the game.

Yea, good points, but slinging food at someone who has just sustained a massive injury being carted out is a new low. In the Schaub deal they even went to his house for Christ's sake, it's a goddam game people, why do you have to turn into F-ing animals over it??
